How is electrical energy made from an alternative form of energy?
There are different types of energy that are considered "alternative". The details depend on the type of energy.
What type of energies are out there?
fossil energy alternative energy nuclear power
What type of coal has the most desirable burning properties and highest energy content?
Anthracite has the highest energy
What type of energy comes from things besides fossil fuels?
Alternative
How much energy is produced by electrical energy?
If efficiency is 100%, each Joule of electrical energy is converted into one Joule of another type of energy.
What are three type of energy that are considered alternative?
nuclear energysolar energywind energygeothermal energybiomass energyhydroelectric energy
How the efficiency of machine be obtained?
Efficiency is output power divided by input power. You somehow have to measure, calculate, or estimate both; the details will vary depending on the type of energy input and energy output.
What type of wave has the highest energy and frequency?
Gamma rays.
What does fuel efficiency mean?
It describes how good an engine is at turning fuel into the desired form of energy. High fuel efficiency means that as much as possible of the energy in the fuel has turned into whatever other type of energy that was intended. Low fuel efficiency means there's a lot lost in the transition.
What type of alternative energy is used to operate the windmill?
A motor is used to power a windmill.
What type of light waves carry the most energy?
Gamma radiation is an extremely high frequency EM wave and is probably the common lightwave with the highest energy. Since energy is proportional to frequency, the highest energy wave would be that with the highest frequency.
What type of energy is in food?
Fatty and sugary foodstuffs have the highest energy content per weight unit.
