minus-squareImgurRefugee114@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·2 days agoYou’re right! Sometimes we let the kinetic energy of the liquid water itself spin the turbine, when we’re feeling freaky.
minus-squarerain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 days agoall of these, and gas turbines too, are synchronous. some wind turbines are almost-synchronous and some use giant inverters which is probably one of bigger mass uses of power electronics today
