Big Wheel Keeps On Turnin' Turbine Blade from Rock Reach Dam.

The hydraulic turbines consist of huge water wheels that resemble ship propellers. They are turned by the water flow and connected to the electricity-producing generators by large steel shafts. All 11 units at the Rocky Reach Project are equipped with adjustable blade turbines. Their design allows the turbines to maintain maximum operating capacity and efficiency despite variations in the river flow and generator output.
