ROTATING SHAFT
1. Water in a reservoir behind a hydropower dam �ows through an intake screen, which �lters out large debris, but allows smaller �sh to pass through.
2. The water travels through a large pipe, called a penstock.
3. The force of the water spins a turbine at a low speed, allowing �sh to pass through unharmed.
4. Inside the generator, the shaft spins coils of copper wire inside a ring of magnets. This creates an electric �eld, producing electricity.
5. Electricity is sent to a switchyard, where a transformer increases the voltage, allowing it to travel through the electric grid.
6. Water �ows out of the penstock into the downstream river.
