Superheated steam, which comes as a result of burning fuel such as coal or using nuclear fuel. This is steam which has been heated to a temperature above the waters normal boiling temperature, so has a high pressure to enable it to drive a turbine.

What energy sources can be used to power generators?
Generators work by spinning a copper coil around a magnet. this releases electrons (the electricity). Essentially everything can spin the turbine, and we use several sources: 1. burning of coal/oil/etc., vaporizes water from a tank. the high pressure steam that is created is brought to the turbine and it spins it.2. wind- simple, the wind moves the turbine.3. solar- mirrors reflect the sun's light to a tower which contains water, and from here the water heats up and continues like the first example.there are more, you can check google.
What are three types of arthrokinematic motions?
roll, glide, spin
The science spin features come from what magazine?
Spin science features come from discovery magazine.
What is wrong with your washing machine if the clothes are still soggy after the spin cycle?
They will still be wet but shouldn't be too wet so it is possible that it's not coming up to speed. Make sure you've got it on the right setting because for things like 'delicates' it puts the spin cycle lower so they won't get as dry on that
How does Hydro-Electric Power Work?
Falling water is used to turn a turbine, which turns a metal shaft in an electric generator, which produces electricity Why are you talking about spelt, hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe? Falling water causes a turbine to spin, causing a generator to spin, generating electric power. The higher or bigger the dam, the more power produced for a given water drop. And also, I'm a biscuit.
Why must the turbine spin for nuclear power?
To turn the generators.
How power generators work?
Giant wheels called TURBINES are used to spin the magnets inside the generator. It takes a lot of energy to spin the turbine and different kinds of power plants get that energy from different sources. In a hydroelectric station, falling water is used to spin the turbine. In nuclear and fossil-fuelled generating stations, steam is used. A wind turbine uses the force of moving air.
How does water turn into electric energy?
Electric power, dissipated as energy is produced by spinning generators. The generators are in turn driven by a rotating force, produced by a number of means. Water under pressure driven through a hypodermic needle hole hits the vanes in a turbine and causes it to spin. the spinning turbine is attached to the generator that depends on that spin to generate electricity. This is how water turns into electric energy.
What is a geothermal generator?
Like all steam turbine generators, the force of steam is used to spin the trubine blades which spin the generator, prducing electricity. But with geothermal energy, no fuels are burned.go to this website to find more about it.http://geothermal.marin.org/Geopresentation/sld038.htm
How does the wind cause a turbine to spin?
turbines spin when there is a cause of wind..!!
Turbines spin generators which produce what kind of energy?
Turbines spin generators that produce electrical energy.
Which does not provide the energy to spin a turbine?
electromagnetics
How do hydroelectric magnets create electricity?
There is no such thing as a hydroelectric magnet, but perhaps you mean how do hydroelectric generators create electricity? Generators work in a way opposite to electric motors. In this generator, a stream of water flows past the vanes of a turbine and causes the turbine to spin. The turbine causes an armature with magnets to rotate. The consequent rotating magnetic field moves past conductive coils of wire surrounding the armature, and as you may know, current is generated when a conductive wire is exposed to a moving magnetic field.
When generators are spun they produce nuclear energy?
No, generators produce electrical energy when they are spun. Nuclear energy produces steam which spin generators.
How a gas turbine work?
Basically, a gas turbine is powered by gas under pressure, The gas is pressurized by burning some type of fuel such as kerosene, jet fuel, or propane. That heat causes air expansion, and the subsequent inflow of air makes the turbine spin. A gas turbine consists of three main parts; a combustion chamber, a turbine and a compressor. Air and fuel are mixed in the combustion chamber where it is ignited and increases in speed and power. This power is directed over the turbine blades which spin the turbine and power the compressor. It's a pretty simple process: heated fuel causes pressure and air expansion. The expanded air causes a turbine to spin. That is how gas turbines like jet engines work.
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.
How fast does a wind turbine spin?
it depends how windy it is by vysnav.k ;-)
