The year 2000 was nine years ago - what year did you mean?
It is now 2009 so this question is out of date
Scientists hope to generate electricity and heat through nuclear fusion as well as nuclear fission.
It is now 2009 AD. See the link below
The scientific term for nuclear energy is "nuclear power." This energy is produced through reactions in the atomic nucleus, specifically through processes like nuclear fission or fusion to generate heat that can be converted into electricity.
The only similarity is that they are both used to generate electricity through use of heat engines.
Nuclear power is the use of sustained Nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Heat from nuclear fission boils water to make steam, which pushes a turbine. The turbine generates electricity using a magnet through a process called electromagnetic induction.
Muscles can generate pressure. Using transducers, pressure can be converted into electricity.
One way you can generate electricity from the sun is through a wind power plant.
it causes a magnet to spin and generate electricity through the aligning of the electrons in surrounding atoms
Through Nuclear fusion.
The energy from nuclear power plants is used as heat to boil water and make steam the turns turbines to generate electricity. The electricity is distributed through the power grid and powers all sorts of things from light bulbs, computers, and televisions to heavy equipment.
Nuclear fission is used to generate electricity through the following: Nuclear fission; that is the splitting of heavy nuclei (as U-235) when bombarded by neutrons; results in loss of mass (or mass defect) that transforms into energy according to formula E = mc2 (c is light velocity). The resulting energy manifests itself as heat energy that produces steam. The steam spins the turbines that spins electric generators and hence producing electricity.
