Water flows through the dam and turns a large wheel called a turbine. The turbine turns a shaft which rotates a series of magnets past copper coils and a generator to produce electricity. The process produces clean renewable energy. The Kaplan Head is the hydraulic associated with adjustable blades on the turbine.
Adjustable blades operate efficiently despite variations in water flow and energy demands.
The rotor is a series of magnets. It's the rotating portion of the generator where the magnetic field is created. The stator is the stationary part of the generator made of coils of copper wire. Electricity is produced as the rotors spin past the stationary wiring. The shaft connects the turbine to the rotor section of the generator.
