What is the benefit of using water energy?
reusable
Why non conventional energy sources are better than conventional sources of energy?
Conventional energy sources involve burning a fuel to produce heat which will drive a piston like in a car engine or make steam for a turbine like in a power plant. In this way we are converting the chemical energy into kinetic energy. This way they are more popular than non-conventional power sources. Non conventional energy sources usually do not involve burning. Solar energy, wind, water energy, geothermal and nuclear fusion are examples of non conventional energy sources. Some of these sources produce pollution and most of them will run out for as long as humans are around.
How do power stations lose energy?
Heat (thermal energy)
What is the origin of non-renewable energy sources including how energy can be trapped in these sources?
what is origin of non-renewable energy sources, including how energy became trapped in these souces
Are Most energy sources are derived from the Sun's energy?
most engery sources are derivded from the sun,s engery
What is the sources of energy used in space stations?
kinedice energy
Who do the power stations supply the energy to?
houses around the country
Are fossil fuel reusable?
No, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) can only be used once. For this reason they are called non-renewable sources of energy.
What is the benefit of using water energy?
reusable
Is wind energy reusable?
No, reusable is not the same as renewable. When a wind passes through a wind turbine it loses energy, so that mass of air has to regain energy before it can be used again.
Is geothermal power reusable?
All power (or equivalently energy) is reusable. The problem is keeping it in a form that can be easily reused.
Is fire a reusable resource?
Fire is not a resource, it is a release of a resources energy.
What is a power station?
A power station is a facility that converts some form of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy into electrical energy. The electrical energy generated is commonly called the "power". Mechanical sources of energy at power stations generally include wind and water. Chemical sources almost always involve the burning of a fuel, such as coal, natural gas, and gasoline. Nuclear power stations generally only use Uranium (U235). Other sources of energy include geothermal, solar, and tidal. Except for direct energy-to-energy conversion systems, such as photovoltaic (solar) cells, power is almost always generated by harnessing the mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy to rotate a generator shaft, and the generator converts the rotational mechanical energy into electricity. Mechanical power stations harness this energy directly when a windmill spins in the breeze, or when a turbine spins as falling water passes through it. Chemical and nuclear generators usually heat water into steam, and then drive the high-pressure steam through turbines which turn the generators. Energy sources for power generation are often grouped into renewable and non-renewable categories. Renewable energy power generation stations do not consume the source of energy. A hydroelectric (water) power generation station, for example, does not consume the water that drives the turbines - the water continues along its route and ultimately rejoins the ecosystem. Similarly, solar power, geothermal power, and wind power do not consume the sources of energy. Non-renewable energy sources are consumed by the power station. Coal and Uranium, for example, are consumed by the power stations, and the Earth's total reserves of that material is permanently depleted by the amount consumed.
Why is waste from power stations a problem?
Because unlike other sources of energy, Nuclear power is toxic. Runoff and meltdowns can have extremely bad effects on the environment.
Why do we need to improve sources of energy that are not fossil fuels?
since fossil fuels can be found almost anywhere in the world we need to improve sources of energy so that they are around the world............
