What involve the conversion of gravitational potential energy into electric energy - wind electric generators or hydroelectric power plants?
Hydroelectric power plants convert GPE into electric energy. When the water flows from the higher point to the lower point, hydroelectric turbines convert the energy of the flowing water into energy.
What turns gravitational potential energy into electrical energy?
Dams convert the GPE of falling water into electrical energy via turbines.
A machine that changes mechanical energy into electric energy?
the turbines in hydroelectricity projects convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What kind of energy does the hover dam convert and what kind of energy does it output?
A hydroelectric dam converts part of the kinetic energy of falling water to electrical energy.
Is wind energy created by wind tubines?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Wind turbines do not create energy. They take energy from the wind and convert it into electrical energy.
How are geothermal and hydroelectric energy similar?
they both use turbines to produce electricity

True or false wind farms can directly convert wind into electricity?
Wind turbines convert wind energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy.
Why is energy electrical?
Electrical energy is useful because it is fairly easy to convert mechanical energy (from turbines, for example) into electrical energy, it is fairly easy to transport electricity over long distances, and it is fairly easy to convert the electrical energy (for example, in your home) into several other types of energy.
Where can hydroelectric energy be collected?
Hydroelectric energy can be collected anywhere that water can fall. Water is usually collected from higher elevations and made to travel down long pipe sets to water turbines that convert the potential energy of the water into electricity.
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
None of the above ... Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy.
How do you convert nuclear energy from nuclear reactor to electrical energy?
The heat produced it used to evaporate water which turns turbines on a generator.
What kind of energy does the hover dam convert and what kind of energy does it output?
A hydroelectric dam converts part of the kinetic energy of falling water to electrical energy.
What are the differences between hydroelectric energy and wind energy?
Hydroelectric energy uses water to turn large turbines in damns to generate electricity, while wind energy uses wind to turn wind turbines to generate electricity.
Is wind energy created by wind tubines?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Wind turbines do not create energy. They take energy from the wind and convert it into electrical energy.
