Who in 1676 discovered that animals generate electricity?
All references to the discovery in 1676 that animals generate electricity, simply mention scientists and not specific names. A few famous scientists who were working in that year on groundbreaking experiments were Isaac Newton and Antony von Leeuwenhoek.
Is nuclear fission currently used to produce electricity?
Absolutely. All commercial and military nuclear reactors, which are used to generate electricity, use fission.
Is hybrid electricity renewable or nonrenewable?
Hybrid electricity produced in a hybrid car like a Prius is generated from a small gasoline motor. When you use any electricity to run a motor you use it up. It is not renewable. Renewable means it comes back by itself, like sunshine or wind or waves on the beach. All these are renewable and can be used to generate electricity. But all electricity is non-renewable.
How do you 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 by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)
How does everyone get electricity at the same time?
Electricity is distributed to everyone simultaneously through a complex network called the power grid. Power plants generate electricity, which is then transmitted through high-voltage transmission lines to substations. From there, the voltage is reduced and distributed to individual homes and businesses through local distribution lines. The grid is designed to ensure that electricity flows continuously and reliably to meet the demand of all consumers.

Which fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are used to generate electricity.
What fossil fuel is predominately used in the US to generate electricity?
Coal is still primarily used in the US to generate power (~47% of all electricity generated), however natural gas is being used increasingly to generate electricity (~20% of all electrical generation).
How can wind flowing water and tides be used to produce electricity?
They can all be used to spin turbines that will generate electricity.
Why do wind turbines not generate electricity all the time?
cause there isnt always strong windThe wind doesn't blow all the time.Wind turbines have to be part of a larger plan to generate electricity from different sources.
How much coal is required to generate 1 MW electricity?
an all nighter
How coal is used to make electricity?
Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.
Do wind turbines generate electricity all the time?
Only while the blades are rotating.
Can lime be used to generate electricity?
Yes, it also can be used as Petrol. Merry Christmas to you all.
Which foods can create electricity?
All of them. By definition food is an energetic substance, and all such matter may be used to generate current.
How does the use of nonrenewable resources compare to the use of renewable resources?
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.
How does moving magnet generate electricity?
magnet moves cause all magnets have an electric field around it]
