Water Energy
Energy that comes from the push of water
![Page 3: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Moving water can push on objects
and move them
Remember that any matterthat is moving is using
mechanical energy

So water is a source ofmechanical energy

A long time ago,people learned to use
water energyfor waterwheels
![Page 6: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Waterwheels are built on streams
![Page 7: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

A waterwheel is a large wheelwith blades on it
As water pushes on the blades,the wheel turns

Even today, energy from waterwheels is
usedto grind grain
andto cut logs
![Page 9: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

When water falls from a high place
to a lower place,it carries a lot of energy
Dams are built on rivers and lakes
to make use of this energy
![Page 10: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Dams hold back a greatamount of water
This water is sent through pipes to
water turbineshundreds of feet below.

Water Turbine
A device that turns water energyinto mechanical energy
![Page 12: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

A turbine is like a waterwheel,but it turns much faster
The falling water turns the turbines
![Page 13: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

The water energy that theturbines collect
is used to run a generator
![Page 14: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Generator
A device that makes electricityby electromagnetic
induction
![Page 15: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

A lot of electricity can be made by dams
Hoover Dam, on the border between Arizona and
Nevada,is one of the highest dams
in the world
![Page 16: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Water is a good source of energy
It does not pollute the air
![Page 17: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

It will never run out
But water power plants can be built
only near a waterfall or a dam
![Page 18: 11. 2 Water Energy Energy that comes from the push of water](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e7a5503460f94b7a258/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Also,dams cost a great deal of money
to build
All energy cannot come fromwater energy
