Generators

            Taken in 2006.

On a tour of Hoover Dam on the Colorado River on the Arizona-Nevada border, a guide led us to an elevator that took us 500 feet (150 m) down into the wall of Black Canyon. Then we walked down a long tunnel drilled through rock and saw these huge hydroelectric generators. They were in this 650-foot long room on the Nevada side of the dam. (The Arizona side has something similar.) The generators are turned by the force of river water running through huge pipes near the base of the dam, which at that point is 660 feet (200 m) thick.
