Best Answer

The dynamo exists in two types, or configurations. The first, the generator, delivers only Direct Current; while the second type, the alternator delivers just AC, or alternating current.

For the Dynamo to produce energy it must be turned. Water falling 1,000 feet down onto a turbines blades will spin the [attached] Generator. Steam has the same effect upon the blades of a turbine.

How do you converting heat into electricity?

Use the heat to boil pressurized water. Use the pressurized steam created to spin a turbine connected to a dynamo. The dynamo then produces electricity.

How do you get electrcity from coal?

You burn the coal in a power station. The heat form the coal boils water and the pressure from the steam coming from the boiling water is used to turn the rotors of a dynamo. The dynamo makes the electricity.


How steam boilers work?

Steam boilers work by boiling water to generate steam. The steam then is used to heat the engine.


How does nuclear produce electricity?

All current power reactors are no different than coal or oil power plants, they make heat, the heat turns water to steam, the steam turns turbines, the turbines turn alternators. You have electricity. Just the source of the heat changes.


How does steam heater work?

The steam flows through a grill of pipes and the heat radiates from the pipes to the room.


Heat engines use heat to do work?

Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.


What is the use of steam engine?

To convert heat energy into mechanical work.


If the water is shut off will the furnace work?

If you have hot water heat or steam heat, it will still work. Gas or electric heat has nothing to do with the water system.


Whats the function of a turbine and dynamo in a steam plant?

How electricity is produced in a gas-fired power station?

I assume you're asking about a natural gas fired plant. The gas is burned to heat water and produce steam. The steam is piped to a steam turbine causing the turbine to spin rapidly. As the steam does work on the turbine, its temperature drops. The turbine is connected by a shaft to an electrical generator. The spinning generator converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy by moving magnets through conducting wires. This produces an electric field which pushes electrons through the wires.
