A wind turbine changes what kind of energy into electrical energy?
kinetic (the energy in the moving air)
What energy transformation in hydroelectric power plant?
Potential energy of the water in the reservoir changes to kinetic energy as it is forced through the turbine. The blades of turbine represent mechanical energy, spinning the turbine generator which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy due to the nature of the generator.Generators use electromagnetic induction turbines, which at its basic level is rotating a wire within a magnetic field, this generating electricity.Source(s):Engineering geologist
Can Solar energy be directly converted into electricity and with what?
Method 1 PV Cells - Converts solar energy in electrical energy DC power Solar Inverter - converts DC power to AC power Method 2 Solar is used to heat liquid and convert to vapour. Vapour is used to run the turbine. Electrical generator converts mechanical energy in turbine to electrical energy.
Does a turbine turn kinetic energy into electrical energy?
It turns the pressure energy into kinetic energy that moves the rotors electric generators to produce electricity
How does nuclear energy change to electrical energy?
The neutrons from the radioactive decay process heats up water, which then turns to steam. The steam under pressure will force a turbine around, which will generate electricity.
Is a wind turbine an example of sound energy?
No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
What device has fanlike blades that converts energy from various sources to electrical energy?
Sounds like a turbine to me.
A generator is not required to generate electrical energy when what energy sources is used solar wind nuclear hydroelectric?
Hydro electrical
Any machine that converts kinetic energy to electrical energy?
-- steam turbine -- hydroelectric turbine -- wind turbine -- hand-crank generator I think even the nuclear power plants do that ... they use the heat from the reactor core to boil water, then run it through a steam turbine to generate the electric power.
How can you generate energy?
You can generate energy with several ways like wind, water turbine, mechanical force and more.
Is a wind turbine a renewable energy sources?
Yes, a wind turbine is a renewable energy source!!
What type of energy is transferred by a wind turbine?
electrical energy
What energy transfers generate electricity in a water dam power station?
It is the transfer of mechanical/physical energy to electrical energy. The flowing water rotates a turbine which is attached to a generator and in turn creates an AC field.
What type of energy does a wind turbine converts into electrical energy?
Kinetic Energy
What does a wind turbine turn kinetic energy into?
Rotational energy, and then electrical energy.
How does water make energy?
Water doesn't make energy because energy can't be created or destroyed. However we can use the kinetic energy of flowing water or the potential energy of water in a reservoir to generate electrical energy using a turbine and a generator.
How can geothermal energy be converted to electrical energy?
The same way that burning fossil fuel is used to produce steam to turn an electrical generator. Geothermal heat from far beneath the ground is captured and used to turn a dynamo or turbine to generate electricity.
