A steam engine?
ENCYCLOPEDIA
The word is "turbine".
A steamboat uses a steam engine similar to those on a steam locomotive. An external wood or coal fire heats water in a boiler, and the pressure of its expansion into steam is used to turn a shaft that is connected to paddlewheels, or to a propeller blade. Steamboats were the first alternative to sailing vessels, and replaced them as the major form of marine vessels. Modern steam turbines (invented in 1884) continue to be used for the generation of electricity worldwide.
A kind of energy that can be used and reused any number of times.
Heat energy to kinetic energy
Heat And Kinetic Energy
Thermal energy produces the steam, which is then expanded to drive a turbine blade or a piston in an old fashioned steam engine.
A steam engine would be one example, a motor car engine would be another.
A steam engine?
It is a steam engine.
A steam engine uses water, steam, and heat.
Kinetic Energy
steam engine you idot that why there call steam boats
It is an engine of one or more cylinders which relies on steam pressure to move a piston along.. Water is heated in a boiler, the steam expands though a tube into the cylinder and the pressure forces a piston to move. If the piston is connected to a crank this horizontal motion can be converted to a rotary motion which can then drive a locomotive, machine or pump. +++ That does not really answer the question. The Steam Engine is a type of Heat Engine - i.e. it converts heat energy to mechanical energy.
geothermal
thermal energy because plants get their energy from sunlight.
