water turbines
Hydroelectric spinning machines
Water turbines are machines that convert the energy of flowing or falling water into rotational mechanical power.
They're the working hearts of hydroelectric dams, where water pressure spins turbine blades connected to generators.
Different designs suit different conditions—high-head installations use Pelton wheels; low-head sites often use Kaplan or Francis turbines.
