A machine that changes mechanical energy into electric energy?
the turbines in hydroelectricity projects convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
What type of energy turns a turns a turnbine?
Different forms of energy can turn turbines: wind energy and water energy can turn turbines to dive electric power generators. Steam turbines are also used for this purpose. Then there are gas turbines which can be used for electric power, and they are also used in aircraft.
Which principle is used in conversion of atomic energy into electric energy?
The principle of mass conversion to energy. The mass loss (due to nuclear fission or nuclear fusion) is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is converted (through turbines) to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted (through electric generators) to electrical energy.
What form of energy is produced by Hydro?
Electrical energy produced from mechanical energy (kinetic energy) that moving turbines.
What is the applications of gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy?
In dams, water is often allowed to fall down onto turbines; here, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.

The two common names of a mechanical device used to convert mechanical energy to electrical?
dynamos | dynamo | generators | generator | turbines | turbine

How can nuclear fission generate electrical power?
Nuclear fission process results in thermal energy production (this due to mass difference before and after of fission). This thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through electric generators.
Wind turbines convert what energy into electrical energy?
The propellors are attached to a shaft that turns a gearbox that turns an electric motor that produces electricity. You need to study how an electric motor generator works. A regular electric motor turns when electric current is run through it. There are coils of wire wound a rotating armature that is placed between Magnets. An electric generator is made very similar. When the wire coils are rotated within the magnetic field, this produces electricity.
What is the applications of gravitational potential energy into mechanical energy?
In dams, water is often allowed to fall down onto turbines; here, the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
Is ti true that it is impossible to change mechanical energy into any other form of energy ene?
No, mechanical energy can be changed into sound (a fan or something), electrical (turbines) etc.
What is geothermal energy source used for?
A heat source that may power turbines for mechanical energy and to power electrical generators for electricity.
What kind of engineers will work with the sea wind turbines?
Mechanical, civil, electrical, environmental and industrial engineers all work on offshore wind.
How wind turbines convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
