Hydroelectric energy comes from the movement of water (the prefix "hydro-" means water.) Any transfer of energy from water movement to anything electrical or mechanical is a form of hydroelectric energy. The best examples are dams. A dam blocks moving water and forces it through a confined space, where it can do mechanical work or be converted to electrical work. Another example could be a mill wheel being used to grind corn. Yet another could be an old-fashioned paddle-wheel boat (although that's chemical energy from the burning of coal being turned into mechanical energy turning the wheel that results in the boat's forward motion.) Technically those last two examples are hydromechanical rather than hydroelectric, but you get the picture.
Dams are an example of hydro electric energy because they produce energy while water going through it

What are examples of unlimited resources?
Renewable resources, like solar, wind and water power are examples of unlimited resources.
What are the three types of powers in the US give 5 examples of each power?
Gas power, Electric power Horse power Wind power Water power.
What are some examples of power plants that use water power?
Hoover Dam, Niagara Falls, many others.
What chemical coolants in nuclear power plants?
Examples: water, heavy water, organic compounds, sodium, lead, helium.
What are some examples of hydrogen power?
Some examples of hydrogen power include fuel cell vehicles, where hydrogen is converted into electricity to power the vehicle's motor, and hydrogen fueling stations that provide hydrogen for vehicles. Hydrogen power can also be used for stationary power generation, such as in fuel cells for buildings or backup power systems.
Examples of renewable resource?
trees,Water,Oxygen,Timber,Fruits and vegetables,and Meat from animals.and anything else that can be used again :)
What are other renewable sources of energy besides the sun?
yes, hydro (water) and wind energy are 2 examples
Can you use salt water in coal powered electricity stations?
Yes - some power stations located on the coast use sea water to cool the condensers. Examples of this include:Gladstone Power Station in Queensland, AustraliaKoeberg Nuclear Power Station in South Africa
What are examples of nuclear power?
nuclear power
How do you make energy?
There are many ways to make energy, some examples are water power, wind power, and machine power. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can not make energy, energy can only be converted form one form to another.
What are not examples of hydroelectric power?
coaled power, gas powered, wind turbines, nuclear energy, i believe are not examples of hydroelectric power
What are four of examples of renewable resources?
Hydroelectricity (generated from water), geothermal electricity (generated from the landmass), solar thermal power (generated from the sun) and wind power. (generated from wind)
