What else can I help you with?
What uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
Hydroelectric power
What type of energy is hydroelectric?
This is renewable energy, it uses water to push the turbine that powers the generator that makes electricity, so as long as there is water there will be Hydroelectric power. :)
When a hydropower plant uses the falling water to turn a turbine they are creating what type of energy?
The falling water turning the turbine in a hydropower plant generates mechanical energy, which is then converted into electrical energy as the turbine spins the generator.
Does hydroelectric power uses heat from hot rocks?
No hydroelectric uses water, usually stored behind a dam to drive a turbine. The hot rocks you speak of is geothermal energy. The most prolific use of geothermal energy is in Iceland.
What are the differences between a coal power plant and a hydroelectric power plant?
Coal is used in furnaces to heat water in a boiler to superheated (above 100 degrees Celsius) temperatures, and this steam is used to drive a turbine which, in turn, drives an alternator. A hydroelectric plant uses the vertical fall of water to drive a water turbine which drives an alternator.
What uses water to create electricity?
In our world we are trying to come up with many different ways to solve one of the biggest problems faced today-pollution. One way that we are trying to solve this problem is through hydroelctricity, or electricity powered by water. Water flows in from a reservoir, into a power house with a turbine in it, the water then turns the turbine, which is connected to a generator, and creates electricty.So to answer the question, hydroelectricty, or hydroelectric power, uses water to create electricity.
What is a kind of engine that uses water steam or heat that starts with tur?
The word is "turbine".
Are fossil fuels burned in hydroelectric plants?
No. A hydroelectric plant uses falling water to turn water turbines attached to electric generators.
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.
What country uses the most water power?
China uses the most Hydroelectric power in the world
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
How does hydroelectricity energy works?
hydroelectric works by water falling from the air (rain)
