Fully Charged Show - This Dam Makes Enough FREE Energy To Run A City, 30092022
Hydroelectric Dams are vast and enormously complex pieces of infrastructure. However, the way they create renewable energy is comparatively simple! Take something high up to give it potential energy. Drop it a certain height to convert that potential energy into movement or kinetic energy. Use that kinetic energy to turn a turbine to generate electricity. And do all of that in the most efficient way possible. Robert Llewellyn visits the Revelstoke Hydroelectric Dam in British Columbia, Canada
