What uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
Hydroelectric power
How do water conduct electricity?
Water can conduct electricity. I know this because when it rains water can spin a turbine which power electricity from movement
How power generators work?
Giant wheels called TURBINES are used to spin the magnets inside the generator. It takes a lot of energy to spin the turbine and different kinds of power plants get that energy from different sources. In a hydroelectric station, falling water is used to spin the turbine. In nuclear and fossil-fuelled generating stations, steam is used. A wind turbine uses the force of moving air.
What is needed to run the turbine of a hydroelectric power plant?
Water at pressure that is sufficient to continuously spin the turbine(s).
What is the difference between turbo and supercharger?
The turbo uses exhaust gas the spin up the turbine in order to compress more air into the combustion chamber for more power while the supercharger uses serpentine belt driven from the crankshaft to spin up the turbine.
How does the water turbine do what it does?
Water traels thru a pipe called a penstock then hits a turbine and the force makes the turbine spin. The energy created travels thru copper coil and goes to the generator. the water meanwhile goes to the river
What are the step by step processes to turn oil in to electricity?
# Burn the oil, use the heat to boil water. # Use the steam from the boiling water to spin a steam turbine. # Use the steam turbine to turn an electric generator. This is the basic process a conventional power station uses to generate electricity.
How does the wind cause a turbine to spin?
turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!
What does running water spin to produce energy?
Hydroelectric dams use he flow of water to push a turbine. The turbine works like a reverse motor, using a moving electric field to produce a current.
How is moveing water used?
It used to make electricity, but first it has to go by a turbine and make it spin to make electricty.
How does nuclear energy work simpyfied?
Nuclear fuel - uranium - gets hot and brings water to boil. The steam makes a turbine spin, and the turbine makes an electric generator spin. Electricity from the generator is fed out onto the grid and into peoples homes.
Which does not provide the energy to spin a turbine?
electromagnetics
