simple energy conversion from hydroelectric power plant to the house
Water-->Turbine-->Generator-->Transformer-->House Circuit Breaker--->House Power line-->Motor-->Electric Fan
Water
Hydropower, hydraulic power or water power is power that is derived from the force or energy of moving water
Turbine
A turbine is a kind of engine that extracts energy from a fluid and used to turn generators
From Latin turbo + binis (whirling object)
Generator
A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
Transformer
An electrical device for changing the voltage of an alternating current
Circuit breaker
A circuit breaker is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit
Power line
Power is transmitted through power lines then to wall sockets
Motor
A motor is a device for converting electrical energy into mechanical energy
From Latin motor = mover, "movere" = move
Electric Fan
A fan run by an electric motor used for cooling
