Wind turbine generators are used to convert the kinetic (movement) energy of the wind directly into electrical energy, which is used to power electrical appliances and needs no further conversion.

What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
What kind of energy does a wind turbine convert?
kinetic energy
Turbines spin generators which produce what kind of energy?
Turbines spin generators that produce electrical energy.
What kind of energy is made when steam comes out of the earth and spins a turbine?
The energy made by the turbine/generator is electrical, but the source of the energy is geothermal
What kind of energy is being produced by generators at a dam?
Hydroelectrical.
What kind of energy is turbine blades turning?
from mechanical to electrical
What kind of energy transformation occurs when hydroelectric power plants is converted?
The water behind the dam flows in to the intake into a pipe called a penstock. The water pushes against blades in a turbine,causing it to turn. The turbine is similar to the kind used in a power plant.but instead of using steam to turn the turbine, water is used. The turbine spins a generator to produce electricity. The electricity can travel over long distance electric lines to your house,school,factories,and businesses.
What types of energy can burning coal produce?
The burning becomes heat energy. The heat boils water to make steam, which then turns a turbine, which is kinetic energy. The turbine can power a power generator, producing electric energy, which can then produce almost any kind of energy.
What kind of device is used to convert moving water to electrical energy?
Hydro-electric turbine
A wind turbine changes what kind of energy into electrical energy?
kinetic (the energy in the moving air)
What kind of energy does separation of charges create?
Static energy :]
The kind of power produced when the energy of flowing water turns a generator turbine?
Hydroelectric power is made when this happens
