nuclear power makes hot water which turns into steam. instead of turbine how about a generator..

Where can you get a powerful motor?
Depends on what you mean by powerful. How many horsepower? And are we taking about electric motors or petrol or diesel or turbines, or what?
Working principle of brushless dc motor?
Traction motors are used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple units and electric locomotives, other electric vehicles such as electric milk floats, elevators, conveyors, and trolleybuses, as well as vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as diesel-electric, electric hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles. Additionally, electric motors in other products (such as the main motor in a washing machine) are described as traction motors.
What is the difference in functions between generators and electric motors?
the electric motors are round and the generators are square and they are powered by the sunshine the generators blow bubbles and the electric motors blow somkey green gas!! this gas is deadly If you are able, perhaps you can answer this in a serious manner. If you don't know the answer, than please STFU!!
Is 100 horsepower electric motor a heat engine?
No. electric motors aren't heat engines.
How does an electric motor compare to a petrol motor?
electric produce less pollution, while up until now aren't as fast as petrol motors
How is steam used to power a nuclear submarine?
Steam from the nuclear reactor turns turbines. These turbines either turn the propeller directly or turn generators that produce electricity to power electric motors which turn the propellor.

What is the difference between amps and horsepower?
Amp is the measure of electric charge per unit of time.Horse power is the measure of the output of machinery, such as piston engines, turbines and electric motors.
What are cruise ship main engines?
Most cruise ships are run by electric motors. Several large gas turbine engines produce power for the electric motors. Thre turbines also produce all the ships elctrical power as well.
What fuel is used in electric train?
An electric train is run by electrical energy Which is usually made using steam turbines which are fueled using coal, oil and in some cases nuclear energy (uranium). Some of this energy may also be initialy acquired through hydro electric, wind or solar collectors. A diesel ellectric runs on electric motors which derive their power from electricity generators on the engine that are run in turn by diesel motors. Aside from the Uranium the energy used to run all of these sources originates in the sun.
How are magnetic levitation vehicles propelled?
Using linear electric motors where the rails are the "stator" and the train cars are the "rotor" (however the move in a linear fashion instead of rotating, as in regular electric motors).
Do motors have batteries?
No, electric motors do not have batteries.Most electric motors are powered from the AC power grid.Power tools and other portable devices using electric motors have batteries, but the electric motors in the tools and devices do not themselves have batteries.
How do power companies prduce electricity?
Via big generators. Generators are rotating machines that output electric power when the shaft is spun by an external source, sort of like electric motors in reverse. The generators are driven by many things: water turbines, which are driven by water from a dam Steam turbines, which are driven by steam from boilers heated by burning oil or coal, or nuclear power, or geothermal power. Wind turbines, driven by wind Solar cells And probably a few other things... Actually there is one source of electric power not driven by a generator, and that is fuel cells that produce electricity directly by chemical reaction.

What happen if the alternator is driven by a motor to generate electric power did it is cost effective?
Alternators are not only driven by turbines, they can be alternator can be driven by any prime mover -including 'motors' if necessary.
Do plane wheels have electric motors?
NO it does not have motors
Which models manufactured by Lincoln use an electric motor?
All of Lincoln's motors are electric, as electric motors have always been their specialty. Lincoln began making electric motors in 1895 and joined Leeson Electric in 2006.
