Welcome to the hydroelectric power plant! A massive engineering structure that turns the energy of falling water into electricity.
In this explorer, we will find 15 critical dam elements, including water turbines, high-speed shafts, generators, transformers, and control consoles. Let's learn their names in English and Hindi.
Listen to the roar of rushing water and let's explore!
Water from a high reservoir flows down a penstock pipe with high pressure. The kinetic energy of this water spins a turbine, which turns a generator shaft. Magnets inside the generator spin past coils of copper wire, creating an electrical current that flows to the power grid.

Hydroelectric dams produce clean renewable electricity, but safety gates must always be respected because of high water pressure!
