What is a set of steam-powered fan blades that spins a generator at a power plant?
A turbine.
How does fossil fuel work in a power plant?
Fossil fuel like coal or natural gas is brought to the power plant by trains. Then it is burned to heat water to make steam. The steam is under pressure and it wants to escape, so it is run through a turbine and the power of steam spins the turbine. The spinning turbine runs and electric generator that makes electricity.
Does a power plant have a nucleus If so what would be some examples?
Are you out of your mind? A power plant generates electricity by spinning an armature in a field. The armature is spun by burning a fuel (Natural Gas, Oil or Coal) to make steam. Or in the case of a Hydro-electric power plant the force of water spins the turbine.
Spins as water or air flows through it?
Turbine
How does hydro power create energy?
hydroelectricity (or hydro power) is created using a dam. as water flows through the dam it turns a turbine. the turbine spins a coil in-between the north and south poles of a magnet. this produces a electrical current.
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.

Best type of power plant?
Nuclear power is the best by far because you take pellets that have a uranium orb in the middle then stabilizer rods come in stabilize them and then water is poured on them to generate steam that rises through a turbine and spins the turbine generating power

What is the uses of packing steam in turbine?
The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.
How is hydro electric power turned into energy?
Water behind a dam falls through a turbine, causing the turbine to spin, the turbine spins a large electric alternator (AC generator), the generator produces electricity which is delivered to the power grid.
What uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?
Hydroelectric power
What is a Turbo?
Short for turbocharger, It is an exhaust driven air compressor. Exhaust gases exit the engine and enter the turbine housing where it spins the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which the compressor wheel is also attached. When more power is needed, the turbine/compressor wheel assembly spins faster and the compressor wheel sucks in more air and compresses it creating boost/positive manifold pressure/more power.
Moving water spins the blades of this?
