Can nuclear fuel be used to enable turbines to generate a constant supply of electricity?

No the turbines are turned of while the reactors are being refuled.


How much do wind turbines contribute to the electricity supply?

It gets better. As the temperature has plummeted, the turbines have had to be heated to prevent them seizing up. Consequently, they have been consuming more electricity than they generate.


Would wind turbines be able to run a school?

It would certainly be possible to produce enough electricity by means of wind turbines, to supply the electric needs of a school.

How many watts does a wind turbine produce?

A single 1.8 mega watt turbine, in one year, can produce 5.0 million kilowatts of electricity and supply enough power to generate for five hundred homes. 20 1.8 mega watt turbines, in one year can produce 2 billion kilowatts of electricity and supply enough power to generate 10,000 homes. 20 1.8 mega watt turbines, over twenty years, can produce 100 billion kilowatts of CLEAN electricity and supply enough power to generate 10,000 homes.


Where can vertical wind generators be found?

Vertical wind generators (turbines) are used in the midwest, where the wind is a major factor. There are international wind farms which supply electricity from the power of these generators.


What 2 things do you have today due to the steam engine?

The electric grid (power supply) is one thing mainly dependent on steam engines (turbines), more than 90% of the worlds electric generators use steam turbines to generate electricity (nuclear power plants generate steam to power the turbines). Because of that, anything that uses electricity came into being, such that, we could claim we have computers as a result of the industrial technology created, because of the steam engine.


How is nuclear energy used to supply electricity?

Typically heat from the reactor core is used to boil water to make steam to turn turbines to turn the electric generators. This is somewhat oversimplified also there are other more direct ways to convert the heat to electricity.


How can water be used to supply power?

Moving water can turn a water mill which can grind corn, cut wood or even pump water.Moving water can also spin electricity turbines and generate electricity in hydroelectric dams, or in rivers and tidal races.


How does hyrdoelectric work?

Water released from a dam through pipes and tunnels to the river below have a job to do. The massive force of water flowing down hill turns Hydro-Turbines, a modern version of the old water-mill. In turn the Turbines drive the Generators which supply the national grid with electricity.
