What are the negatives of using solar power?

Energy is not produced at night and greatly reduced when cloudy. therefore a storage system is required or alternative power source. Solar produces DC rather than AC. Solar electricity is more expensive than most other forms of small-scale alternative energy production.


What are the advantages of using tidal electricity?

It can be relied on and also it produces electricity reliably. tidal energy is a renewable energy, when compared to solar and wind energy it is more efficient source.

How you test the electric motor that it produces electricity?

Electric motors do not produce electricity, they use electricity, and convert that energy to another form of energy, that we measure in horsepower. See related links.


What is the energy of fuels that produces electricity?

The energy in fuel that produces electricity is chemical energy. By rapidly oxidizing, "burning", the carbon, hydrogen and sulfur in the fuel we produce heat. this heat is absorbed by water to produce steam to drive an engine, this engine turns an electromagnet (field rotor) inside another electromagnet (stator) to generate electricity for use. The transformation of fuel to electricity is as follows: Chemical energy to heat energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy. Only about 25% of the energy in fuel becomes electricity.


Power generators are made to conserve and store energy so that it can be used later. It is a better alternative to coal power.?

Power generators are often gas powered machines that provide an alternative energy source when the electricity fails in the area. They are made by assembling factory produces parts into a personal electricity generating combustion engine. There are several types of power generators so their invention cannot be attributed to any one person.
