You heat the water in the boiler chamber to produce the steam. The steam under pressure rotates the blades of turbine. You have a shaft attached to the turbine. You have the coils of insulated wires wound around the shaft. This shaft rotates between the powerful magnets to give you electrical energy, through the insulated wire.

A hair dryer converts what type of energy to thermal energy?
it converts thermal energy to electrical energy.
The device that converts electrical energy to thermal energy is?
A thermocouple converts thermal energy into electrical energy through the thermoelectric effect. Thermocouples are self powered and can measure a wide range of temperatures.
Does a toaster use nuclear energy and how?
A toaster converts electrical energy into thermal energy. Some of that electrical energy may have come from a nuclear power plant.
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
Is a windmill thermal energy?
A wind mill does generate some heat but primarily it converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electrical energy.
