Question by rob: What energy transformations must water (hydroelectricity) go through to conduct electricity?

Best answer:

Answer by edward_otto@sbcglobal.netHydroelectricity has nothing to do with the water conducting electricity – it has to do with the generation of electricity using the Hoover Dam as one example.

To have distilled H2O conduct electricity, you must add some sort of impurity that will change the electrical potential of the water from 0 to some number.

NaCl (salt) or Acetic Acid (Vinegar) are two examples.

Question by sportsathletic24: Is Tidal Energy a form of Hydroelectricity? I was just wondering, any answer is appreciated. If not, then what is it? Thanks for the responses, also Earth Man: What I mean is that I’m doing a project on Tidal Energy, and was curious if I could state that it was a form a hydroelectricity. Is that valid? Anyone else that reads this can answer it as well

Best answer:

Answer by Earth ManTechnically, yes. However, if you start talking about hydroelectricity, everyone will assume that you’re talking about a hydroelectric dam.

Hydro = water electric generation = obvious

So yeah, it’s hydroelectric.
