Besides nuclear power stations what other methods of electricity generation are used on a large scale throughout the world Give some examples of the countries in which these various methods are used?
The only other widespread, large-scale ways to generate electricity are gas, oil and coal-fired power-stations. All else is small beer.
Will it be easy to assimilate geothermal energy into our lives?
Only for large-scale energy developments as in Iceland, where it is used to generate electricity. Individual use of geothermal energy would be too complex and costly.
When was the first large scale distribution of electricity?
Arguably, the first large scale distribution of electricity was on August 26, 1895 when water flowing over the niagra fall was diverted to turbines.
How does the human race utilize nuclear energy?
Basically, nuclear energy is used in two ways: * In nuclear reactors, to generate electricity. * In nuclear bombs (atom bombs) to cause destruction on a large scale.
Is gold used in electricity?
Gold is a great conductor but to expensive to be used on a large scale
Why is tidal energy not likely to be potential source of energy?
harnessing of tidal energy poses many problems . the rise and fall of water during tides is not high enough to generate electricity on a large scale . there are a very few sites that are suitable to build dams .
What are three examples of how geothermal energy is used?
On a small scale, to keep a house warm in winter, and cool in summer.On a larger scale, to generate electricity by using the heat from rocks deep below the surface of the earth.
What are the Steps in generating electricity?
There are several methods used to generate electricity. However, the processes usually used to create electricity on a large scale are one of the following:To use the potential energy of water, moving water is made to move a generator.Otherwise, water is heated in different ways - by burning coal, or with nuclear reactions. In this case, the water evaporates, the pressure tends to expand, and moves the generator.
How much electricity does an average hydroelectric dam generate?
Although several large-scale dams can produce over 1000 MW, an average dam will produce anywhere from 80 MW to 500 MW. An average value for those would probably be about 200 MW.
Why you are generating power from thunder in large scale?
You don't generate power from thunder. Thunder is the sound wave produced by the lightning bolt.
Potato battery or lemon battery?
You can make a battery out of both a lemon or a potato - if you want to see how just do a net search on "potato battery" or lemon battery. In science we have been conducting an experiment to see which of the fruits/vegetables creates a larger flow of electrons- for us it was the potato so it may make a better battery than the lemon. u make it by putting a penny in a lemon and a nail on different sides, then use a battery meter to see how much electricity the object has.
How heat is converted to electricity usinga solar collector or cell?
The traditional solar electric panels that people generally think of don't use heat to generate electricity. A concentrating solar collector, on the other hand, does use heat to generate electricity. It focuses the sun's heat onto a tube containing a fluid like oil. That fluid gets extremely hot and generates steam. The steam in turn turns a turbine to generate electricity. These are not generally used for residential systems, they are very effective in commercial scale systems.
