Which alternative energy sources create electricity but not by turning a turbine?
Wiki User
∙ 8y ago
A solar panel produces electrical energy with no moving parts.
With the Sun facing the panel, 150-200 watts per square metre can be produced by a solar panel. Without direct sunlight a panel still produces power, but very little (e.g. 5-10 watts from a bright sky).

What is hydrolectricity?
electricity created by the flow of water turning a turbine
What does a turbine produce?
A turbine is most commonly connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine may be turned by water falling into it, and a generator produces electricity by turning through a magnetic field.
What describes this energy transformation from the turning turbine to electricity?
kinetic energy into electric energy
What are 3 alternative sources of energy?
Solar power Takes energy from phtons emmitted from the sun. Hydro power Takes power from currents of water turning a turbine. Nuclear power Splits atoms to release energy
When there is no wind is the turbine nonproductive or does it store energy in batteries?
Turbines only produce electricity when they are turning, that is, when the wind is blowing.
How is the nuclear power plant able to send electricity to your homes?
A nuclear power plant heats water, lots of it, into steam, which drives a turbine. The spinning turbine generates electricity by turning a magnet inside coils of wire, which then is sent along wires to the "grid".
What is basic principle Steam power plant?
There's a boiler which produce steam. Steam drives/turns the turbine. The turbine is connected to the alternator rotor via a shaft. Turning the rotor then generate electricity.
How does the Gariep generate electricity?
It uses the power of water flowing from a certain height, using the kinetic energy of water to beat on the blades of the turbine resulting in turning the turbine. Rotational motion of the turbine will effect on the on the magnetic fields surrounding the coil and induce current.
What wind electricity with wind power?
A generator or alternator that is turned by the wind turbine mechanism. Most power generation systems make electricity by turning generators or alternators (one exception is solar which is direct light to electricity conversion).
What wind makes electricity with power?
A generator or alternator that is turned by the wind turbine mechanism. Most power generation systems make electricity by turning generators or alternators (one exception is solar which is direct light to electricity conversion).
How you make electricity by heat?
The heat is usually used to turn water into steam. That steam then powers turbines which, turning coils inside magnets, produce electricity. good answer ; and u can turn Waste Heat Into Electricity
What does a nuclear reactor do in a nuclear power plant?
You rip apart an atom which releases great energy in the form of heat. The energy causes water to evaporate which turns a turbine. The turning turbine creates electricity. This is how a nuclear reactor works.
