How is Hydroelectricity collected and then turned into useable energy?
If a dam is built across a river, water can be allowed to flow in a controlled way through turbines that generate electricity.
What is an accommodation bridge?
In the UK, an accommodation bridge is a bridge across a canal that was built when a canal was dug across a right of way.
What the advantages of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Before the Golden Gate Bridge was built, the only way across the Golden Gate was the Golden Gate Ferry System. After the bridge was built, automobiles could get straight across, rather than go around.
What are dams built to generate energy from water call?
hydroelectric dams
Why are wind mills built?
In essence to produce clean energy at low cost
Why renewable resource is best?
Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.
Could a machine be built that produces more energy than it takes?
No
Could a machine be built that produces more energy than it takes in?
No
Renewable sources of energy are replenished by?
Renewable energy sources are energy sources that are continually replenished. These include energy from water, wind, the sun, geothermal sources, and biomass sources such as energy crops. In contrast, fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are non-renewable. Once a deposit of these fuels is depleted it cannot be replenished -- a replacement deposit must be found instead. Both renewable and non-renewable energy sources are used to generate electricity, power vehicles, and provide heating, cooling, and light. Renewable sources of energy vary widely in their cost-effectiveness and in their availability across the United States. Although water, wind, and other renewables may appear free, their cost comes in collecting, harnessing, and transporting the energy so that it can do useful work. For example, to utilize energy from water, a dam must be built along with electric generators and transmission lines. Renewables themselves are non-polluting, while the structures built to harness them can have positive or negative environmental impacts. For example, dams may affect fish migration but may also create wildlife habitat
When did renewable energy become available to the public?
Some forms of renewable energy have been used for thousands of years: water power was used by the Romans to grind grain into flour, in the late Middle Ages Europeans were using windmills to grind grain into flour, before electricity was available to remote rural farm across the US and Canada the farmers built windmills to operate water pumps on wells for both drinking and irrigation water.
When was the wind farms built in Northern Ireland?
Research and development of renewable energy has been ongoing in Ireland since 2004. Wind farms have been built in Cork, Donegal, Mayo and Antrim.
What produces heat during shielded metal arc welding?
Electrons flowing across an air gap produce an arc. The resistance built up that is needed to push these electrons across the gap produces the heat. This same resistance causes the electrodes to get hot.
what are the advantages of kinetic energy?
it is renewable No pollution since nothing gets burnt. Reliable as theres 2 tides daily. cheap to run once built.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of renewable hydroelectric energy?
Hydroelectric energy is generated by a dam built over a river. Water is trapped by the damn and released through holes in the dam inside of which are turbines, turned by the rushing water which in turn power generators which make the electricity. The advantages are: They make infinite renewable energy with no effects on the environment other than river dwelling creatures habitats. Disadvantages are: The dams are expensive to build and can only be built high up in mountains where there are lakes and streams etc.
What country has a fortified wall built across it?
China has the Great Wall of China built across it.
Which river is the Koyna dam built across?
The Koyna dam is built across the Koyna River.
