The kind of power produced when the energy of flowing water turns a generator turbine?
Hydroelectric power is made when this happens
What Machine joined to a generator to change energy from flowing water into energy?
A water turbine
What form of energy is produced in a river flowing jamaica?
Water turbine
How does a water turbine produce energy?
A water turbine produces energy by transferring the energy from flowing or falling water using a generator. A generator uses copper coils and magnets to create energy. The magnetic field produced from the magnets need to cross over the copper coils which excite the particles in the coils to produce and cause the electricity to flow, making electricity from water.
What uses mechanical energy?
A power station generator uses mechanical energy produced by the steam turbine.
How can you turn water energy into electricity?
The energy produced by water in motion is passed through a fan or turbine. A generator attached to the fan or turbine spins with it and produces electricity.
What device changes mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a coil wire through a magnetic field?
That's an electrical generator, whether the mechanical energy comes from steam or water flowing through a turbine, or wind, or tides.
How energy can be produced from coal?
Coal burns. The heat boils water. The steam is used to push a turbine. The turbine rotates a generator (its a trick with magnets) that produces the electricity.
Is it true that a turbine turns kinetic energy to electrical energy?
No. A turbine turns linear motion of a working fluid (which can be a liquid or gas) into rotational motion. No electricity need be involved.You can hook a turbine to a generator and use the rotational motion produced by the turbine to make electricity. But the turbine itself does not do this.
What is produced by a generator?
The general term generator is usually applied to the kind of generator that produces electricity, or electric power.
How does a turbine pump electrons around a circuit?
A turbine is often used to spin the rotor of a generator. The generator converts this kinetic (energy of motion) energy into electric energy. A turbine does not directly push electrons around.
How is energy produced from wave action?
The flow of the waves turns a turbine that makes a genorator work. Then the generator produces electricity for our homes.
