Yes, gravity is used in hydroelectric schemes when water is run down chutes to drive water turbines which drive electric generators. Hydro depends on the Sun's energy to evaporate water from the ocean and deposit it as rain in the mountains.
There is no inherent energy in the gravitational force. The water is lifted up against gravity, gaining potential energy, and then it runs down under the same force to exchange the potential energy for kinetic energy which drives the turbine.
What else can I help you with?
Can gravity be used as a source of energy?
Absolutely. At hydroelectric stations, for example, the power of gravity is harnessed to produce electricity.
Can weight produce electricity?
Weight is the pull of gravity on mass. Of itself weight can not produce electricity.
Could you use gravity to produce electricity?
Yes, but only indirectly. Gravity is currently used to generate electricity. A typical example is hydroelectric power. Water falls down a shaft (because of gravity). The falling water drives a turbine in the shaft, and the turbine spins a generator, which produces electricity. There is no means to convert gravity itself directly into electricity.
Can solar energy be used for electricity?
Solar energy can be used to produce electricity.
Can a magnet be used to produce electricity?
A spinning magnet inside a coil of copper wire will produce electricity.
Is it must to use white candles to produce electricity?
Candles (of whatever color) are not used to produce electricity, they are used for light, and for ceremonial purposes.
Who first used electricity to produce light?
Mother Nature, lightning must be the first to produce light from electricity.
Coal is used as fuel to produce what?
in power stations to produce electricity,,,
Can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
How can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
How is heat used to produce electricity?
die
Why is coal used to produce electricity?
yes.......
