What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
How do thermal energy transfer to electrical energy?
Either heat air and force through a turbine, or heat water into steam (and use a turbine or a steam engine). Then connect to a generator.
Which type of energy does not use a turbine to produce electricity?
solar
How does wind energy generate energy?
Wind energy can be transformed to a suitable form for human use. It could use turbine connected with dynamo to generate electricity. It could connect the turbine with gear and use the mechanical energy transformed to pump the water or operate a mill. It could use sail to catch the momentum of the wind to sail the ship.
How do you convert energy to electrical energy?
All forms of energy can be converted to electrical energy using certain techniques.The most common technique is spinning a turbine.A turbine can convert kinetic energy into electrical energy.You can also spin this turbine by boiling water, this forces the water vapour through the turbine causing it to spin.Since all forms of energy can be converted to heat, its nearly always possible to spin a turbine.The only exception is a low amount of heat. (for example, heat of 30 degrees celsius).Since this isn't enough to boil water.+++With respect that lot is muddled and incorrect!Yes you can use steam to rotate turbines, and this is done in power-stations whether the heat is from fossil fuel or a nuclear reactor. The steam is at farabove normal boiling-point, too:it enters the turbine at very high pressure and temperature and is expanded through the turbine stages to near or below atmospheric pressure to extract the maximumenergy from it.A turbine does NOT convert kinetic to electrical energy. It converts heat energy (in the steam) to kinetic energy (its rotation).The conversion to electrical energyoccurs within the alternator connected to the turbine; by roating coils of wire across the lines of megnetic force in a strong magnetic field so as toinduce the current in the windings.
How maganetic energy can be converted into light energy?
generators use magnetic energy to turn the spinning of the turbine into electricity, which can be used to make light (and therefore light energy)
What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
What is the main principle of hydro electric power stations?
The potential energy of the collected water is turned into kinetic energy as the water is released downstream. As the water is released, it hits a turbine, forcing it to spin. The spinning turbine turns some of the kinetic energy of the water into electric energy, which can be transported away in cables for us humans to use.
What energy source does a wind turbine use?
Wind energy.
What energy is a type of energy that is not useful?
Transform solar radiation to electricity use solarcell and not the turbine. Transformation of energy from fuel to mechanical energy may use internal combustion engine and don't need to use turbine.
How are wind power use in homes?
its easy wind creats energy and then its in ur house sorry the is a small wind turbine in ur garden and it spins round because of the wind. after that energy is created from the spinning then it goes in your house. lol hope i help use all love yas
What energy transformation in hydroelectric power plant?
Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.Source(s):Engineering geologist
What is one type of energy that does not use turbine?
solar power
How can you generate water into electricity?
You don't. But you can use the weight of falling water to generate electricity. The water spins a turbine (a type of fan blade), and the spinning turbine turns an electric generator.
What type of energy is being transferred when a spinning top is in use?
A spinning top is a moving mass, and this represents a form of mechanical energy we call kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
Why do you use wind turbine?
Wind turbines utilize wind energy to convert it to usable electrical energy. Specifically, the kinetic energy of the air molecules spin a turbine within an electromagnetic field, the kinetic energy of the turbine is then converted to electrical energy due to the presence of the electromagnetic field.
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.
