What are renewable power sources?
Renewable power sources are the kind that don't get used up. Sunlight, used for photoelectric power, doesn't get used up. Hydroelectric power doesn't get used up, because as long as the rain continues to fall, the rivers will continue to flow. Wind turbines are renewable; the wind does not get used up.
What are two alternative methods used to harness renewable sources?
Solar panels and Concentrated Solar Towers generate electricity from the sun.Wind turbines use the power of the wind to spin electricity turbines.
Name two renewable energy sources that could be used to turn turbines?
River waterWind
What does water power do in a renewable resource?
Water power can be used to turn turbines in a dam, generating electricity.
Can renewable energy and non-renewable energy can be used at the same time?
Answer : YES Renewable power sources and non-renewable power souces are both used to generate electricity, which is then transfered through the 'power grid' (power lines) to different houses. Electricity generated from renewable sources is not different in any way to electricity generated by non-renewable sources. Therefore, they can both be used at the same t5ime
What are the 2 advantages of classifying energy sources as renewable and non- renewable?
advantages of renewable- it can be used over and over again. used to make power disadvantages of renewable- solar panels are expensive, so are wind turbines advantages of non-renewable- very efficient. lots of experience in field disadvantages of non-renewable- it pollutes the environment. it is difficult to dispose of
Energy sources used to power light sources?
Electricity, which generally comes from power plants, but can come from batteries, solar panels, wind turbines
Most of the energy resources used to generate electricity are renewable.?
No. Most of the energy resources used to generate electricity are non-renewable, like the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. Hydro power and nuclear power are the only important renewable sources. Wind and solar are not yet valid sources of power.
What do geothermal nuclear wind and water power have in common as sources of electricity?
They are all renewable sources of energy. This means that they can be used for ever.
Wind energy renewable?
Wind is a renewable resource on earth. Wind turbines can be used to catch the wind's energy and be used to create electricity.
Is this true or false hydroelectric power is the least widely used source of renewable energy in the world today?
It is false that hydro is the least widely used. There are many renewable energy sources, and hydro power is one of the most commonly used, with many installations all over the world. Unconventional renewable power sources that have been used include such ideas as extracting energy from the impact of people's feet as they walk on sidewalks, which is just one of many examples of sources less commonly used than hydro.
What are the two sources of turbines noise?
The first source of where you might find turbine would be at a Hydropower station where water turbines will be converting water into an energy source. The Airport would be a second location, as turbines are used to power the jet engines.
