Want this question answered?
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.
from mechanical to electrical
The faster the wind, the faster the wind turbine will turn
wind pushes on the blades of the wind turbine which pass on this motion to the generator to produce electricity. The energy and the speed of a wind turbine depend on the blade pitch control which depends on the angel of the blade chord to the plane of rotation. The blade pitch determines the speed of the turbine which also depends on the wind speed. Energy is directly proportional to the speed of the turbine. Therefore, the energy produced by a turbine depends on both the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. By: Amin Elsersawi
Hydro-electric turbine
no
Hydroelectric power is made when this happens
The generator (or more likely a 3-phase alternator) produces electrical energy.
kinetic energy
Water turbine
The energy made by the turbine/generator is electrical, but the source of the energy is geothermal
A power station generator uses mechanical energy produced by the steam turbine.

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.
from mechanical to electrical
It is mined from the ground and burned to run a steam turbine.
The faster the wind, the faster the wind turbine will turn
