Water and energy for everyone · Volume two
Put three journeys together
From water to light
Moving water pushes the turbine. The shaft drives the generator. The generator produces electricity.
From fission to light
Fission releases energy. The fragments and other contributions transfer energy to matter. Heat passes to the fluid. Steam drives the turbine, and the generator produces electricity.
From the sea to the tap
Energy helps to separate the salt. The fresh water is treated and checked. Storage and distribution must keep its quality intact.
Let’s talk: on which journey does a machine receive movement? On which journey does a check help to protect the person drinking the water?
