Turbine Heat is used to make electricity by.... boiling water which in turn makes steam and is generally channeled through a turbine, that will make the turbine spin (Look up "how a generator works") . Basically the turbine spins a magnet near some wires which makes an EMF, thus electricity.
Stirling Engine Or, you can use the heat to power a Stirling Engine, which in turn can run an electrical generator .

How does geothermal energy is used to generate electricity from steam?
The heat from the earth is used to heat water. The water is used to turn a turbine - which generates electricity.
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
Which of the following does not use heat to generate electricity?
wind
Is this true or false in a controlled nuclear chain reaction the energy released as heat can be used to generate electricity?
It is true. The heat can flash water to steam, which spins turbines, which generates electricity.
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
How can the sun's energy source be used directly?
Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.Two common uses are to heat water; and to generate electricity with photovoltaic cells.
Can heat from a chain reaction be used to generate electricity?
yes
How does geothermal energy is used to generate electricity from steam?
The heat from the earth is used to heat water. The water is used to turn a turbine - which generates electricity.
Why does the splitting generate electricity?
If you mean nuclear fission, then this does not generate electricity directly. The energy released is essentially light/heat energy and this is used to heat water to produce steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines/generators to produce the electricity.
How can garbage be used to power homes in Savannah?
Garbage can be used to generate electricity in two ways.Organic garbage can be contained, fermented, and used to generate methane, which can be burnt to generate electricity.Non-organic garbage can be burned as biomass and the heat used to generate electricity.
Solar energy how is it used?

Is Geothermal energy is used to generate electricity by harnessing?
Short answer: Heat Geothermal energy is heat from within the earth.
Does coal generate electricity?
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.
What does heat from fossil fuels used to boil water turn into in order to generate electricity?
Heat from fossil fuels is used to boil water and turn it into steam in order to generate electricty.
How nuclear fuels can be use to generate electricity?
Nuclear fissions in nuclear fuels generate heat and electricity.
How are soures of radiation energy used to make electricity?
the radioactive material is used to create a sustained reaction which creates heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam which turns a turbine to generate electricity.
What are solar cells solar voltaic cells used for?
There used for to collect heat off of the sun to generate electricity.;)
