How much energy can be created from a generator with 100 pounds of force?

The technically correct answer is none. no energy will be created or destroyed, only converted from one type to another.
Kinetic energy from a 100 lbs force can be transformed into electrical energy using a generator, however. 100 lbs of force is equivalent to ~445 Newtons, or 445 Joules/meter.
So, if a 100lbs force is applied over 1 meter to a generator, it can, at most, produce 445 joules of electricity. The actual produced energy will depend on the efficiency of the generator, and any other losses between the measurement of the 100 lbs of force to the generator. 1 Joule is equivalent to 1 watt second. 445 joules is equivalent to 445 watt seconds, or ~124 milliwatt hours (if you want to relate it to your electric meter).

What is 0.7376ft lb. in energy?
That IS the energy, since foot times pounds (pounds as a unit of force) is energy.
The pushing force of the voltage of a battery or generator is an example of which type of energy?
Kinetic energy. Direct current or dc. The force is electromotive force and is measured in amps.
Can you create energy with magnetic force?
Yes, an electrical generator uses magnetic fields to transfer mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What is force times length?
force times length is the dimension for Work or Energy or Torque. Some examples are Newton meters (equivalent to Joules), inch pounds, foot pounds. The pounds are pounds force, not pounds mass.
What is an example of kenetic energy being transformed to electrical energy?
The rotational force of an electrical generator using magnetism to create an electrical current.
Does a generator convert energy of motion into electrical energy?
Yes, in this case the motion is a rotation. Basically a coil of wire is cutting magnetic lines of force.
How does nuclear energy water and coal make electricity?
Electric power is created by turning a generator at speeds fast enough to produce energy. Nuclear and Coal powered plants use heat to create steam to force the turning of a generator. Water power uses a difference in height from input to output to produce the desired turning of the generators.
What kind of energy is wind?
Wind energy is kinetic energy, it is created by the force of air in motion.
How does a turbine and generator work?
The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.
How do you convert wind energy into usable energy?
The wind energy turns a rotor; this mechanical energy is then converted into electricity through a generator.The wind energy turns a rotor; this mechanical energy is then converted into electricity through a generator.The wind energy turns a rotor; this mechanical energy is then converted into electricity through a generator.The wind energy turns a rotor; this mechanical energy is then converted into electricity through a generator.
What is themal energy?
Thermal energy turn to kinetic energy
Does mind have kinetic energy?
No, the mind does not possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is created by a force or motion.
