How many ways can the sun help us produce electricity?
Sunlight causes tide in the ocean which are used to produce electricity. By solar cell.
Can fire be turned into electricity?
Not directly, but fire can be used to help make electricity, for example fire can be used to boil water and make steam, steam can be used to power generators which in turn make electricity.
What is nuclear energy used to make?
the metal, uranium
What is a marine turbine?
One sort of marine turbine is used in tidal power generation. At high tide the tidal water collects behind a barrier. When the tide goes out, the only way for the water in the enclose to go back out is through turbines. Thus, in ebbing, the sea water drives the turbines which can be used to generate electricity.
What is a device that uses electricity and is used to make things move?
Electromagnets
What are the different forms of energy that can used for producing electricity?
The different forms of energy:solar , wind, tide, water . These can be used to produce electricity.
How many ways can the sun help us produce electricity?
Sunlight causes tide in the ocean which are used to produce electricity. By solar cell.
How can the moving water of ocean waves and tides be used to generate electricity?
Tides:Find a place with a good difference between low and high tide.build a dam that'll be empty at the low tide mark and full at the high tide markput a turbine in the dam wallwhen the tide goes up, it'll flow in through the turbine and make electricity as it fills the damwhen the tide goes out, it'll flow out through the turbine making electricity as the dam is drainedWaves:waves make things on the surface bob up & downbuild something to turn that up & down into a movement that can turn a generatorstick it out into the ocean.
How does tidal movement make energy?
When the tide goes out, or in it turns large turbines and then a motor creates the electricity.
Can fire be turned into electricity?
Not directly, but fire can be used to help make electricity, for example fire can be used to boil water and make steam, steam can be used to power generators which in turn make electricity.
How do you make electricity from energy?
The principle is quite simple; when the tide goes up, catch the water in some container. When the tide goes down, use the potential energy of the water, as in any hydroelectric plant.
Why are barrage needed?
barrages needed to stop monsoon flows from being wasted[1]
What make a charge of electricity?
The watts used is the basis of electricity charges.
What are the two renewable energy resources that make electricity?
For one there are more than two renewable energy sources. These are wind, hydro, solar, wave or tide and geothermal (some people say tide and hydro are the same because they both use water). Also if you want to be technical they do not make electricity they change kinetic, heat and light energy into electricity. There are others and it is a lot more complicated but this is the jist of it and should answer your question.
The first tide generated electricity project was established at?
Vizhinjam, Kerala
What is the electricity sources?
power generators or nuclear power can be used to make electricity
How is oil used in russia?
it is used to make electricity and for import
