Take a virtual tour of some of
the world's most advanced power plants.

What You Will See:



  1. Flood Gates -- Flood Gates control the amount of water flowing through the dam.
  2. Generators -- The generators take the spinning motion of the turbines and convert it to electricity.
  3. Turbines -- When water is forced through the dam, its movement pushes the turbines, making them rotate, to turn the generators.

Using your VRML Navagator, you can more around in the virtual world. Use the controls onscreen to change your position, orientation, etc.

Again, if you do not have a VRML plug-in, you can obtain Cosmo Player from Silicon Graphics Inc.
