I believe it can be used for nuclear fission, similar to uranium or plutonium.
It doesn produce electricity. It uses electricity and shows magnetic properties.
Hazards and Health Considerations: Thorium presents both a toxic and radiological hazard. Toxicologically, it causes heavy metal poisoning similar to lead or the uranium isotopes. Biologically, thorium accumulates in the skeletal system where it has a biological half-life of 200 years, the same as plutonium. An M 17 protective mask and standard anti-contamination clothing will adequately protect against thorium.
Windmills produce electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of the wind. The wind causes the blades of the windmill to rotate, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity.
The Huntley power station uses coal and gas to produce electricity.
By Nuclear fission,nucleus of a heavy,radioactive atom (eg-uranium,thorium,plutonium) is bombarded with low-energy neutrons to split into lighter nuclei.This generates tremendous amount of energy.This energy can be used to produce steam which turns the turbine and thus electricity is produced on a large scale. Nuclear energy produces 10 million times the energy produced by combustion of an atom of carbon from coal.
Yes, thorium is a good conductor of heat and electricity. It has high thermal and electrical conductivity, making it useful in various applications such as in high-temperature environments and in certain types of electronics.
Uranium or Thorium.
Thorium-229 is used as raw material to produce Ac-225 and Bi-213, isotopes with medicinal uses.
Batteries do not produce electricity, they only store electricity.
Common compounds of thorium: thorium dioxide, thorium trifluoride, thorium tetrafluoride, thorium tetrachloride, thorium triiodide, thorium diiodide, thorium tetraiodide, thorium nitrate, thorium oxalate, thorium carbide, thorium sulfides, thorium nitride, thorium oxinate, etc.
generators produce electricity via electromagnetic induction
Well, Many things can produce electricity. An easy way to produce electricity is to get a coil and pass a bar magnet through it.
Can chemicals in a fruit produce electricity
"How do natural gas stations produce electricity?
Yes, you could produce static electricity.
It doesn produce electricity. It uses electricity and shows magnetic properties.
It can be used as a blanket fuel to produce U-233 fissile fuel.
