Is a wind turbine an example of sound energy?
No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
What are the different types of energy and what are their uses?
there are many types of energy some of them are-mechanical energylight energyheat energywind energyelectrical energypotential energykinetic energy
What is the energy transformation in a shower?
Potential to kinetic. Before you turn the shower on, the water is above the ground, waiting in the pipes. Once you open the valve it falls, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy.
When a hydropower plant uses the falling water to turn a turbine they are creating what type of energy?
Hydroelectricity--Hydroelectric energy
What kind of machine uses wind to produce power?
A wind turbine is a machine that uses wind to produce power. The kinetic energy of the wind rotates the turbine's blades, which then drive a generator to generate electricity.

No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
What uses mechanical energy?
A power station generator uses mechanical energy produced by the steam turbine.
What types of energies does the world use?
earth uses all energy. there are many types of energy we use for different types of things. there is over 100 types of energy.

How does a turbine and generator work?
The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Potential to kinetic. Before you turn the shower on, the water is above the ground, waiting in the pipes. Once you open the valve it falls, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy.
A wind turbine uses the power of the wind to produce nuclear energy?

Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.
When a hydropower plant uses the falling water to turn a turbine they are creating what type of energy?
Hydroelectricity--Hydroelectric energy
Why would a turbine be used instead of a water wheel?
a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.
What things can a turbine be pushed by?
You can't. They are nearly opposites. The pump uses energy to change fluid flow and the turbine uses fluid flow to produce energy. Actually, you can convert a pump into a turbine. You need all the specifications, though. The most important being the head. There are a number of manuals one can check out
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.
