- Synopsis
- This image is a cross section of a hydroelectric dam seen from the side. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.It shows a lake, a dam, a water-powered turbine, a generator, and the bed of the river running across the bottom of the page. The image is framed by a dashed image border.To the left of the page is the deep water of the lake, which is being held back by the dam to the right. The top of the dam is above the level of the water. Down the page is the penstock: a large pipe, which carries water down past the blades of the turbine in the middle of the page, through an outflow pipe and into the river down to the bottom right. Up the page from the turbine blades is a shaft, which drives the generator in a building near the top of the dam.
