Coal makes energy in 6 sorta simple steps.
1) The coal or natural gas is first burned for mainly thermal (or heat) energy.
2) That thermal energy is used to boil water and to produce steam.
3) That steam is then forced through a high pressure tube called a steam line.
4) The steam then pushes a turbine (which is very electrical and i don't know what goes on in there)
5) That turbine then produces electrical energy.
6) The electrical energy is transported to your home and then you use it for searching the internet on how coal makes energy! (how convenient!)

∙ 12y agoCoal is burned to heat water, which produces steam. The steam turns a turbine, which is connected to a generator that produces electricity. The electricity is then sent through transmission lines to power homes, businesses, and industries.
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water and produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. Wind farms use turbines to harness the kinetic energy of the wind, which spins the turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
The Huntley power station uses coal and gas to produce electricity.
In a coal-fired power station, coal is burned to produce heat, which is used to boil water and create steam. The high-pressure steam then drives a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity. The electricity is then sent out through transmission lines to power homes and businesses.
Yes, coal is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam, which then spins a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. The heat energy from burning coal is converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy in the process.
Coal power plants typically produce around 2-3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for every pound of coal burned. The energy produced can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant.
Coal is used to produce heat and electricity.
Coal is abundant and easy to convert into electricity.

Yes, coal is still used today to produce a large percentage of the electricity in the United States and elsewhere.
yes.......
in power stations to produce electricity,,,
They produce electricity be burning coal and then the coal is used to heat, light and do lots of other things.
Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.
like coal ,petrolem are the fossil fuels

Coal power stations burn coal to heat water and produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. Wind farms use turbines to harness the kinetic energy of the wind, which spins the turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity.
You burn coal to boil water into steam which drives turbines that spin dynamos that produce electricity.
