What else can I help you with?
Canada has a number of hydroeletric plants what is a hydroeletric plant?
A Hydroelectric plant is powered by hydro power -or water passing though a dam, think hoover dam in the (Transformers movie 2007) the water pass or drops down though turbines which turn generators to power you,re home.
How is steam used to power a nuclear submarine?
Steam from the nuclear reactor turns turbines. These turbines either turn the propeller directly or turn generators that produce electricity to power electric motors which turn the propellor.
What natural resource is used to create hydroeletric power?
Hydroelectric power is generated using flowing or falling water, which is a natural resource. This process typically involves harnessing the kinetic energy of river water or water stored in reservoirs to turn turbines, generating electricity. The movement of water, driven by gravity, is essential for producing this renewable energy.
What does hydroelectric power generation depend on?
flowing water to turn turbines
What does a hydroelectric power plant use to turn the turbines which are connected to the generators that make electricity?
The turbines or Pelton wheels in a hydroelectric power plant are turned by water pressure.
How does hydro-power form?
Hydro-power is electricity created when water is forced by gravity from a dam and through turbines. The spinning turbines turn generators, and electricity is produced.
What does water power do in a renewable resource?
Water power can be used to turn turbines in a dam, generating electricity.
How is wind power formed arouned the earth?
Turbines get the wind and somehow turn them into energy.
How do nuclear power plants and geothermal power plants turbines turn to produce electricity?
In nuclear power plants, the turbines are turned by steam that is created through the heat generated by nuclear fission reactions. In geothermal power plants, the turbines are turned by steam created from the Earth's heat stored in the ground, which is accessed through wells and used to drive the turbines.
How can nuclear power be made to electricity?
The easiest way is to make steam as in other thermal power plants, use the steam to turn turbines, use the turbines to turn alternators. There are probably more direct ways but very little research has been done.
What is a force used to turn turbines?
Water, wind, or steam are commonly used to turn turbines and generate electricity. These forces are harnessed to rotate the blades of the turbine, which then spin a generator to produce power.
What type of energy is used in an electric power plant that uses steam to turn turbines to generate electricity?
The type of energy used in an electric power plant that uses steam to turn turbines is thermal energy. This is because the steam is produced by heating water using a heat source, such as burning coal or natural gas. The steam then drives the turbines, which in turn generate electricity through electromagnetic induction.
