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.

Mechanical (generator) and Chemical (battery)

A PVC pipe alone does not generate static electricity. Electrons need to be transfered for static electricity to be generated. Rubbing felt on the pipe or spraying it with sand are two common ways that people can use PVC pipe to generate static electricity.

Generators generate electricity. Their usefulness, in allowing humanity to use electricity in the abundant ways it does is self evident.

Electricity can be generated directly from a candle in two ways: A candle can generate enough light for an up close photovoltaic cell to generate a small amount of electricity. Several of them in series or parallel around the same candle will generate more electricity (volts or amperes). Many photovoltaic cells are combined together as solar cells to generate electricity from sunlight. A candle can generate enough heat for a thermocouple to generate a small…

it benefits Australia in many ways such as using it in our heating and electricity and did u know that it is estimated about 85% of our electricity production. for more information just look at coal mining Australia.

To produce or make electricity is to generate it. Some of the common ways of generating electricity include using wind power, geothermal energy and burning fossil fuels among others.

There are many ways that a Nuclear Fission Reactor is used, 1) To produce Plutonium or Tritium for Bombs. 2) To generate Electricity. A Nuclear Reactor generates Electricity that is clean and Cost efficient. But the Main disadvantage is That a steam or hydrogen-oxygen explosion can cause a lot of environmental impacts.

There are many ways how electricity can create heat. For example, passing a current through a wire of high resistance (i.e. a resistor) will generate heat, though not much.

Electricity can be generated by a windmill. Basically, the wind spins these windmills and the windmill traps this energy used to spin the windmill and converts it into electricity. However there are many other ways to generate electricity such as using solar panels (trapping sunlight and converting it into electricity)

You can build a dam with turbines and use the water moving through the turbines to generate electricity. You can install wave machines in the ocean to turn the movement of the waves into electricity. You can build barrages in tidal bays to take advantage of the movement of the tides to generate electricity. You can install turbines on the bed of fast-moving rivers and streams to generate electricity. You can build a watermill beside…

Moving water can be exploited for electric generation by multiple methods. Hydroelectric generation from dams can use turbines to harness water driven mechanical energy. Prototype methods include harvesting the energy of water currents and waves to generate electricity.

Yes, Nuclear power has been used to generate electricity and has been used in medicien such as ways to cure cancer.

Electricity can be generated by steam from either a Fossil Fuel power plant, a Nuclear power plant or a renewable source of energy. Fossil fuels generate electricity by being burned to heat water, that evaporates to steam and turns a turbine which runs a generator to transform the kinetic energy from the turbine moving into electricity. Renewable sources of energy can generate electricity by several ways, Hydro-electricity (water power), Wind Power, Solar Power, Geo-thermal Power…

I am only 13 but this is what we learnt: Fossil fuels are converted to generate electricity. Fossil fuels are destroying the world and are constantly running low on them. Some day there will be an end to them that is why we are trying to make other ways to generate electricity like solar power and kinetic (wind) power. Hope this helps?!

Coal is used in power stations to generate electricity. Oil is used to power cars, trucks and most kinds of vehicles.

There is only one way they are similar, namely, they are both used, usually, to generate electricity. But they are very different in many many ways.

Hydro-electric energy can be created in many ways, but all forms of energy require the spinning of a turbine to generate electricity.

There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven…

The three main types of fossil fuel used in the US (and everywhere): Coal Oil Natural gas (methane). Two ways of using fossil fuels today: We burn fossil fuel to generate electricity. We burn oil to power vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, ships and planes).

That really depends on the type of energy generated. One common method is to use a generator to generate electricity; this can then easily be transported to different places, and later convert to other types of energy.

Humans can use water in the liquid state to run mills or to generate electricity. Hydro electricity is generated when fast moving water pushes generator turbines.

You can use solar energy or produce electric through wind power. If you live near a river or stream you could generate electricity from the water movement. These are all clean ways of generating electricity

People use the sun's energy directly and indirectly in many ways. They use it to dry their clothes, grow food, heat their water, generate electricity, and to heat a home.

There are several ways to make electricity, by far the most common is electromagnetic generation - a wire is moved in a magnetic field and electricity is generated within the wire. Generators use coils of wires rotated within magnets. You can generate electricity yourself using a small electric motor - if you rotate the motor spindle by hand, then electricity will be produced across the motor terminals.

Hydro electric generators wind powered generators geothermal generators

There is a lot of use for the electrical conductivity of metals. The main use would be the wires in your house, but they are also in you TV to transport the electricity from your wall plug to the main circuit board. Metal is used in everything that involves transporting electricity.

Generating electricity requires a motive force. This must be provided by some form of 'engine' which will use some form of fuel. Ultimately, with the exception of nuclear power, they can all be traced back to the sun and even that was created by a sun. The main power sources are; Solar Wind Tidal Chemical (Batteries and fuel cells) Fossil fuels Geo-thermal Nuclear Hydro Muscles

There are many ways to generate electricity without lakes. Some examples include solar power, wind power, nuclear power, geo-thermal power, and coal, oil, and gas powered electric plants.

The world will not run out of electricity, but there may be shortages in cities with large populations. Lightning is raw electricity and there are many ways to get electricity from nature like windmills or dams. Thats not likely, though it may become more difficult to generate in the future. I should mention that even though our oil reserves are beginning to run out, there are still PLENTY of coal deposits (this is primarily where…

There are infinite ways to use electricity.

Yes, there are many ways: turbines in a water stream wind turbines burning methane from animal manure to power an electricity turbine geothermal drilling for heat burning biomass (unwanted vegetation remains from crops, like bagasse).

Thermal energy has served many uses to humans. Thermal energy has been used to cook food, heat homes, and generate electricity.

There were 4 main ways. Elevators, lights, streetcars, and subways. They were all invented by Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.

Basically, nuclear energy is used in two ways: * In nuclear reactors, to generate electricity. * In nuclear bombs (atom bombs) to cause destruction on a large scale.

The main way is producing electricity, also radioisotopes are produced for use in medicine and industry

The two main sources of energy gas and electricity.

Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are the bad ways to generate electricity, because they add long-hidden carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. Burning biofuels, (biomass, biodiesel etc) are neutral. They release carbon dioxide when burnt, but that carbon was recently removed from the atmosphere when the plants were grown, so biofuel is carbon-neutral. Solar, wind, hydroelectric, wave, tidal, geothermal and any other renewable energy…

Climate scientists, engineers, technologists. We need to find new ways of providing energy, so we can stop burning coal and oil to generate electricity.

Sort of. Electricity in not considered a resource since it can be generated in a multitude of ways. That being said, hydroelectricity is a sustainable way to generate power. This would also include solar and wind power.

Because electricity flow through it's wire. Electricity came from outlets source. When you plugged in a device, electricity will flow into two ways. One is directed on a bulb and the other one is cut. Two points of cut wires are put in a switch so if you presses the switch, the other current (whether positive or negative) will generate full electricity that is capable of lighting a light bulb.
