Hydro machine

Water power machines are constructions and machines that convert the potential and / or kinetic energy stored in the water primarily into mechanical work .

The following is used:

• the potential energy of water from flowing waters such as streams, rivers, streams, which is retained in weirs especially for this purpose
• the potential energy of water in high altitude, often specially created for this purpose dam for the operation of pumped storage power stations
• the kinetic energy (kinetic energy) of the water of flowing waters
• The kinetic energy of the tides , which due to the gravitation of the moon causes the sea water to rise and fall ( tide )

Hydro power machines are:

• water wheel
• Water turbine
• Water motor
• Hydraulic ram
• Gnepfe
• Hydropower screw
• Water column machine
• Folding wing rotor
