The reciprocating motion of the pistons is converted into rotary motion which is connected to a shaft connected to an electrical generator .

How are hydroelectric power stations built?
Firstly, the topographer makes a detailed study of the topography on the local, in which the hydroelectric power plant will be built. Then on an appropriate place the terrain is lowered to form the waterfall which will move the turbines that will generate electricity. The river is blocked to form a huge dam and it has a channel to make the water fall from the top of the dam. Many stages to be followed until the turbines begin to generate electricity.
What is steam power made from?
Steam power could be described as pressure. Water heated above the boiling point turns to steam and the molecules move very rapidly and want to separate. If the water is in an enclosed area, the pressure will increase. This pressure can be used to move components of an engine that generates electricity. Generally, steam power is used to generate electricity or in the case of old railroad engines, it was used to actually push the train forward. Generally steam power isn't very efficient because you need an extreme source of heat to bring the water to boiling.
Why can metals conduct electricity but remain unchanged?
Only the free valence electrons forming the electron "gas" move and as many move in as move out. Only metals form this electron "gas".
How do you make image move down page as you scroll down?
You would add style="position:fixed" to your tag to make the image move down the page as you scroll.
How does electricity pass through lead?
The same as it does in any metal. Metals have a number of electrons that can move about freely; these carry the current.
Is there a windmill that can move and generate electricity at the same time?
no
What engine parts that move up and down?
pistons, cams, valves
What are the positions of the pistons on a 1992 V6 engine?
in the engine and they move up and down when it is running
How does a motobike engine work?
there are pistons in the motorbike and the move up and down and it makes the cog move then the chain moves the bike
How can energy change a radio used to generate electricity?
Radio waves when they contact metal cause the metal's electrons to move (away from the atoms they are nearest) -- electricity.
How does acid generate electricity?
Acid itself cannot generate electricity. The electricity is generated by the flow of the electrons. So we can use active metal & inactive medal with acid to generate electricity. For example. If you put a copper rod and a zinc rod in acid solution (for example, HCl), connect the two rods with a conductive wire (metal wire). The the electricity will be generated because the electrons will move from the Zinc (active) rod to the copper (inactive) rod
Why cant conductors generate static electricity when rubbed together?
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
Does the crankshaft move the pistons up and down?
the pistons drive the crankshaft via the connecting rods, though on start up the starter motor drives the crankshaft in its proper rotation direction to get the ball rolling
What determines the final firing order on a normal car engine?
The way the crankshaft is built. Which controls the order that the pistons move up and down.
How much electricity does it take to move an elevator up or down one floor?
As much energy it takes to move your ass!!!!!
How do bus engines work?
The pistons of a bus move to make the wheels move.
How much does wave technology cost?
Th generation of electricity using the movements of waves comes in several different forms. One form has floating units on waves inside Territorial waters. This form has several segments that move up and down with the waves and generate electricity from that movement. The other form has a tube attached to a cliff face with the lower part under the surface of the water. Tidal rises and falls draw air into the tube and generate electricity. Depending on which form you use and how large it is will tell you how much it will cost
