How the Tower Bridge is powered The Tower Bridge was once powered by hydraulic pumps worked by steam until 1976, when electric motors were put into the bridge. A hydraulic motor is a mechanical actuator that converts hydraulic pressure and flows into torque and angular displacement.

When the Tower Bridge was built when it was built, the Tower Bridge was the largest and the hardest bascules bridge ever completed. when it was built, the Tower Bridge was the largest and the hardest bascules bridge ever completed. This type of bridge is known as a "bascule" bridge, drawing on the French word meaning "seesaw," in which the two sections of the roadway could swing upwards to allow a ship to pass through.
