  Diversion dam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Dam slows a normally fast and shallow river for partial diversion to a hydroelectric dam.
A diversion dam is a type of dam that diverts all or a portion of the flow of a river from its natural course.
Instead, the water is diverted into an artificial water course or canal, which may be used for irrigation or return to the river after passing through hydroelectric generators, flow into a different river or be itself dammed forming a reservoir.

 Estacada, Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are four dams in the immediate vicinity of Estacada: River Mill Dam, Faraday Dam (a diversionary dam), Cazadero Dam, and North Fork Dam.
The city was founded in May 1905 as a camp for workers building a hydroelectric dam on the nearby Clackamas River in order to supply Portland with electricity.
At the time, the river was relatively inaccessible by road, forcing the Oregon Power Railway Company to build a railway to the vicinity of the river to transport crews to the river for the construction of the dam.

Then in 1831, Michael Faraday discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction, which led to the invention of the electrical generator and the electric transformer.
Faraday found that electrical current flowed in a closed loop of wire as it was moved through a magnetic field.
Dams are divided into three categories: high-head (800 or more feet), medium-head (100 to 800 feet), and low-head (less than 100 feet).

Faraday was completed in 1907, River Mill in 1911, Oak Grove in 1924 and North Fork in 1958.
Esler said additional improvements at two or three dams upstream of River Mill will be proposed when the utility files in August with the energy commission to relicense the dams.
Because water is drawn from the reservoir bottom to propel the dam turbine generators, there isn't enough current near the top of the reservoir to push smolts downstream.

This dam was rebuilt in 1965 after a flood rendered the original timber crib dam inoperable.
It diverts water to Faraday Lake, where water flows through the Faraday powerhouse into Estacada Lake, the two-mile stretch of water from Faraday to River Mill Dam.
As the powerhouse was being built, a diversion dam was constructed on the Oak Grove Fork of the Clackamas River.

 Introduction to CRYEBIS Physics
Once ionized, the ion's positive charge is trapped radially by the negative space charge of the electron beam and axially by the dam and gate potentials which are more positive than the trap area.
At the beginning of the expulsion period, the potential of the main trap is raised above that of the dam, allowing the ions to escape the main trap and to pass through the (electron) collector and (electron) repeller.
A magnet analyses the escaped ions according to their charge state, energy, and mass, so that only one specific charge state is observed at the 90 degree exit port.

Seen to the left, the waters behind the dam have risen to a level of 135 metres since the sluice gates were first closed in early June, and in August Three Gorges is due to generate its first commercial hydroelectricity.
The Three Gorges project is set to create a new 600-km-long body of water on the face of the 21st century Earth: the thick concrete dam walls stand 190 metres tall and already they hold back an estimated 10 billion cubic metres of water.
More than 600,000 people have had to abandon their homes to the rising reservoir, and as many again will have to relocate before the waters reach their final planned level of 175 metres.
