Original – Hydraulic turbine and electrical generator, cutaway view. A : Generator; B : Turbine; 1 : Stator, 2 : Rotor, 3 : Wicket gate, 4 : Turbine blade, 5 : Water flow, 6 : Turbine generator shaft.
Reason
This is an image of a water turbine that caught my eye, and does a good job of explaining the parts in a water turbine that move to generate electrical force from flowing water. Note that this is an .svg file, and therefore while not at the minimum pixel requirement it should not be an issue due to the ability of svg files to be resized as needed without compromising the image quality.
