Water Turbine

A water turbine is a device that converts the energy of flowing or falling water into mechanical energy, which can then be used to generate electricity. When water moves over the turbine blades, it causes them to spin. This spinning motion turns a shaft connected to a generator, producing electrical power. Water turbines are commonly found in hydroelectric plants and harness the natural energy of rivers or dams, making them a renewable and clean source of energy. They are efficient and environmentally friendly ways to generate electricity from water currents or drops.
