There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.

Can fire be turned into electricity?

Yes, fire can be used to generate electricity through technologies like thermal power plants, where heat from burning fuel is used to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity. Another method is through thermoelectric generators, which convert temperature differentials, like those created by a fire, into electricity.


What happens to steam after it has generated electricity?

After steam has been used to generate electricity in a power plant, it is condensed back into water. This condensed water is then returned to the boiler to be heated again and turned back into steam, creating a continuous cycle of generating electricity.
