How is wind energy turned into electricity?
A pinwheel, fan, or other spinning device, attached to the axle of an electric generator, is stuck up into the wind. As the wind spins the device, the device in turn spins the generator.
What is a set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant?
A turbine.
What directs flowing water through a turbine that spins a generator to create electricity?
Tidal
How is hydro power converted into electricity?
A turbine spins water creating kinetic (movement) energy. This kinetic energy is changed into electricity through a generator connected to it.
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 name is given to a fan - like device that spins in a generator?
the rotor shaft
How is wind energy turned into electricity?
A pinwheel, fan, or other spinning device, attached to the axle of an electric generator, is stuck up into the wind. As the wind spins the device, the device in turn spins the generator.
How is electrecity generated from water?
Water spins a wheel (think Holland) and the wheel spins a generator. A spinning generator releases energy to its connected load.
How does water power convert to electrical power in a hydroelectric plant?
The water spins a turbine; the turbine spins a generator; the generator produces electricity. It is that simple.
What happens insider generator?
A coil of wire spins in a magnetic field
How do you obtain electricity from water?
The kinetic energy of the falling water (usually in a dam) spins a turbine which spins a generator, creating electricity!
What is a device that spins when the sun shines on it?
radiometer
A device that has a magnetized needle that spins freely?
Compass
How wind turbines convert mechanical energy into electrical energy?
With a generator mounted on the "turbine". The propeller spins the generator shaft.
What is a set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant?
A turbine.
What directs flowing water through a turbine that spins a generator to create electricity?
Tidal
How is wind power used as energy?
The wind spins propellor blades which turn a generator producing electricity.
