I’m glad they have videos like this out there. Many people just take electricity for granted and don’t know (or sometimes even care) where it comes from and how it’s generated. This informs them of all that. :). I have known all this info for a very long time but it’s nice seeing it spread to the public.
Incredible opportunities in using the ocean in unique ways to provide electric energy while also sending seawater to desalination plants near coastal plants
There’s a lot on RUclips about that but basically in this case the high pressure water spins a turbine rotor at such a high speed it creates a magnetic field
This a great green energy source, but when the dams were built, in many places that it was constructed. The designers and federal and state officials, never took to account the environmental impact at those tines.
Many dams in the U.S like Ice Harbor and John Day were constructed under a peace treaty with the Indians. The dams presence is symbolic to the friendship we now share with the natives and the racism they left behind.
If this was how Physics and Mathematics was thought to me in High School, I couldn't be struggling NOW to get my Bachelor in Electrical Engineering at 30 years old.
1 Hydroelectric dam produces more electricity than 10,000 windmills. Windmills produce at 50% meanwhile a dam produces 95%. It's the cleanest form of energy we have
Now combine it with Fusion or Nuclear power and you have 130% energy. Ok yeah that sounds like a joke and it is, but combining nuclear or fusion with hydroelectric sounds interesting.
I think water flowing out of a channel from bottom of a dam has more force , because it has all the weight of water behind and up it, but from top of a dam it's just like a water fall, doesn't have that huge weight to it.
Show us an in depth explanation of the actual permanent magnets that are at the heart of the electrical generator. Please. There is not a single video about that, that I can find.
It’s basically a giant motor. Only instead of electricity being applied to make it spin, its doing the opposite. Look at any large industrial motor and you’ll see mostly what the inside of a dam generator looks like.
Good video but didn't explain properly about the height of the damn for electricity creation. Basically, it sounds like the water pressure passing through the turbines would create electricity in the generators that creates the electricity which is then fed out over the power lines. If the water pushes the turbines which powers the generator, then it's passing through the damn that houses the turbines and generators. The dam controllers can control the water output which pushes the turbines. What does the water fall height have to do with electricity generation?
Qstn....cant we use some if the electricity produced by the dams generators then somehiw amplify it and use it again to turn the turbines??? That way elextricity would be endless
You need converters to transform each form of energy into another. The generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical. Before the turbine, you only have potential into kinetic energy. The turbine converts the kinetic into mechanical. I’m assuming the turbines are near the generator acting as one system. So you can say the water is falling on the turbine portion of the generator.
@@returntothetruth1469 Out of the standard Pelton, Francis and Kaplan machines what hydro turbine generator you are referring to that doesn't need roatation and has a secondary turbine?
Many countries could benefit from using fields of solar panels to pump water higher up during the day and released as hydro power during the night when needed, Now that is not rocket science but would replace the batteries currently being used to store solar power for night use.
Also use the second turbine to collect energy to pump the water back up to the top for further use or apply this principal in solar panel fields for night storage by pumping water uphill during the day to be released as hydro power during the night. Using the same water over and over.
The power provided by the drop in elevation is taken already through the turbines; adding another generator to the outflow wouldn't generate much power and may cost the main generator efficiency due to affecting the flow of the tailwater. The water they show discharging through the spillways in this video is excess water that the plant does not have the capacity to use; theoretically, the plants could be expanded with additional turbines to utilize this power, but dams are very expensive to make and every additional unit costs a lot more money. The dam would still likely need a spillway to deal with flood events or anything along those lines; building a hydro plant big enough to take all the possible flood flow would be both prohibitively expensive and a waste during most times of the year when water flowrates are far lower. Hopefully that makes sense!
The spillways shown in the video are used to pass excess flow that the turbines cannot pass. They generally are either in very limited use or not used at all when the flows are within the hydro plant's capacity to discharge. However, if the demand for electricity is low and units are offline, or if a large flood event comes along which the plant cannot pass on its own, the spillways are opened and the excess flow is allowed to escape that way rather than raise the reservoir to potentially dangerous levels and potentially overtop the dam (very bad!)

No damn. Cement wall and concrete of Dam can use line-x solid hardness chemical material
@@howardlitson9796 will not
Around environment of dam can green vegetation. It's very beautiful.
I kinda wish there would've been an explanation about how the generator works. great video nevertheless!

Needs must. The river will still flow just a different way. Over time, nature will adjust.

This Channel Quintessential .
It has a informative and interesting videos.
I love this channel and shared to my 10 Friends.
Very informative. ❤
From beginning to end great video
Great video. Love it, so informative.

What a great "Damn" video. Well done. That was "Damn" educating. I hope to see more "Damn" videos in the future.🤓🤙
Nice explanation
Electrifying Video ⚡⚡
I love it
Thanks
That's a lot of Dams
Have a science test coming up helped me understand, thanks
.. thanks for sharing your informative vedios May God bless you 😇🤗
Do you said Damn?
How do you control the frequency or Hertz of the power supply ?.
you don’t
Water resources from hot air and cold air to production.
Damn! Heard a lotta dams!
Amazing channel
my science teacher made me watch this.

What does the water fall height have to do with electricity generation?
Damn!! That Dam..
Water is a prime mover as ic engine is a primemover to a car transmission
Well must say Dam is Damn! 😂
Lmao
the way you say 'mechanical' lmao.
What i heard in this video. Dams. Dams. Dams..
Thank you sir
Ok thanku for explaining
Qstn....cant we use some if the electricity produced by the dams generators then somehiw amplify it and use it again to turn the turbines??? That way elextricity would be endless
why repeat same thing over and over
epic videos
Dam boy he chonk
Why there is turbine? Why can't water directly fall on generator and spin it
You need converters to transform each form of energy into another. The generator transforms mechanical energy into electrical. Before the turbine, you only have potential into kinetic energy. The turbine converts the kinetic into mechanical. I’m assuming the turbines are near the generator acting as one system. So you can say the water is falling on the turbine portion of the generator.
The water rotates the turbine which has a common shaft with the generator. Got it?
🤦🏻
You Don't Need a Rotation But A controlled Rotation and Secondly turbines are designed in such a way that they utilized maximum energy of water
@@returntothetruth1469 Out of the standard Pelton, Francis and Kaplan machines what hydro turbine generator you are referring to that doesn't need roatation and has a secondary turbine?
DAMN..
So dam efficient
Well dam!
Wait, I was expecting the abundant resource to be water, not gravity
They’re BOTH the abundant resource. :)
Many countries could benefit from using fields of solar panels to pump water higher up during the day and released as hydro power during the night when needed, Now that is not rocket science but would replace the batteries currently being used to store solar power for night use.
Awesome
Dam I didn't know that.
If I was engineerie I would also put turbine on place where water is coming out.
Also use the second turbine to collect energy to pump the water back up to the top for further use or apply this principal in solar panel fields for night storage by pumping water uphill during the day to be released as hydro power during the night. Using the same water over and over.
Here's a clue to the FREE ENERGY. There are loads of underground rivers in all nations and there are turbine systems down there.
Is it me or can dams be even more efficient by having additional turbine which gets powered by the dam water exhaust?
The power provided by the drop in elevation is taken already through the turbines; adding another generator to the outflow wouldn't generate much power and may cost the main generator efficiency due to affecting the flow of the tailwater. The water they show discharging through the spillways in this video is excess water that the plant does not have the capacity to use; theoretically, the plants could be expanded with additional turbines to utilize this power, but dams are very expensive to make and every additional unit costs a lot more money.

Hopefully that makes sense!
@@DarkWolf5250 I mean where that water is shooting out of the spout have another turbine there.
Like an afterburner, genius
I still see a lot of potential power at the discharge ports of the dams they aren't even using..? What up with that.
The spillways shown in the video are used to pass excess flow that the turbines cannot pass. They generally are either in very limited use or not used at all when the flows are within the hydro plant's capacity to discharge.

Good info, but all those spillway shots are showing wasted energy.
They are intermittent.
Can they put another turbine to where all that excess water is flowing out ?
The outflow is intermittent so not a constant source.
damn!!!
They r "Dam" good.
Thats so Damn
