How Energy is Generated
• Scientist use energy produced
by fusing atoms.
• The energy heats water and
produces steam.
• The steam rotates a generator
producing electricity.
• Not ready to be used.

How Energy is Generated
• Water in the reservoir flows into the
penstock
• From the penstock the water flows through
the turbine
• The turbine turns which turns a shaft
• The shaft turns a generator which causes
electrons to flow – electricity!
• The electricity is sent out through
transmission cable to consumers
