How is energy released in the reactor made to drive a turbine?
The energy released in a nuclear reactor is in the form of heat. This heat is used to boil water and produce high pressure steam which then drives the turbine.
How is energy changed from one form to another?
By energy conversion. For example heat can be changed into kinetic energy by running a turbine to move a vehicle.
Does energy stay in one form all the time?
No ,energy is constantly being changed from one type to another.Example Gravitational potential energy in a high lake is turned into kinetic energy as it runs down hill through a hydroelectric power turbine it is turned into rotating kinetic energy in the turbine which generates electrical energy in the coils of wire which produces heat energy in an electric fire.
How is energy transformed from one form to another through the use of wind turbines?
The energy in the moving mass of air is converted to rotational energy of the turbine, by the blades. This energy in turn is converted to electrical power, by a dynamo.
Do energy cannot change from one form to other?
Energy in all forms (electrical, mechanical, chemical, thermal) can change from different forms. For example, consider a piece of coal in a power plant. The burning piece of coal is transforms from chemical to thermal energy. If the thermal energy (heat) boils water, it's transform to an another form of chemical energy. Then, if it turns a turbine, it's changed to mechanical energy. Then, finally, the turbine turns a generator and makes electricity (electrical energy).
What is released as one form of energy changes to another form?
Energy. Given that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, the total energy output equals that input, and in a system the ratio of that output energy desired to the total input gives the efficiency.
Why do you Think there is no device that transforms 100 percent of energy to the desired form?
Because most devices either involve moving parts, or they produce sound. This means that some energy is lost either through friction or sound energy thus making it impossible for 100% of the input energy to become output energy in the desired form
What form of energy is produced in a river flowing jamaica?
Water turbine
What form of energy do all receptors output?
Chemical
Can a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant makes energy?
Well, no. A turbine does not MAKE energy. It changes one form of energy to another. A Pelton turbine in a hydroelectric plant changes the weight and force of falling water to rotary mechanical energy, which is used to turn a generator. That changes mechanical energy to electrical energy. But none of that MAKES energy.
When energy changed form some energy is?
Some energy is changed into the desired form. The rest is changed into undesired form such as heat, light, sound, etc.

Who invented the wind turbine?
Charles F. Brush invented the wind turbine in 1888. The wind turbine is an excellent form of alternative energy that many say that Charles F. Bush is a huge contributor in.
True or false wind is actually a form of energy?
False. Wind itself is not a form of energy. Wind possesses kinetic energy that is converted into electrical energy as the wind is used to turn a turbine, like a windmill.
What does a nuclear reactor do in a nuclear power plant?
You rip apart an atom which releases great energy in the form of heat. The energy causes water to evaporate which turns a turbine. The turning turbine creates electricity. This is how a nuclear reactor works.
