What does the shaft in a wind turbine do?
The shaft is the part that gets turned by the turbine blades. It in turn is connected to the generator within the main housing.
Does a socket use energy when it is turned on but the appliance connected is turned off?
No
Should you turn off a portable generator before turning off the appliances it powers?
All items being powered by the generator should be turned off before turning off the generator. Or damage could result to both the appliance and the generator.
If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?
Please re define "If an insulator with a lamp"
Is it possible to combine both motor and generator into single device?
It is possible, but in general it would be fairly pointless unless you want a very specific type of application The simplest way to do what you're proposing would be to have a motor spin an axle, and connect that axle to the generator's input. But because of the fact no system is loss-less you would be losing energy to friction and hysteresis and resistance you would be losing energy if you have a motor power its own generator. On the other hand this device could then be connected to a battery bank (through proper voltage regulators and a rectifier) and it would be possible to either charge the cells (by connecting the generator and spinning the axle) or run the motor (by discharging the cells through the motor). This is a little like the principle behind regenerative breaking in an electric car. Also, every generator is ALSO a motor, in a way, it simply depends how it's hooked up. Any AC electric motor could theoretically be turned into a generator.
What type of electric energy turns a turnbine?
The turbine is turned by steam and is connected to a generator

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.

How is coal turned into energy that you use in your everyday life?
AnswerCoal is burnt to heat water, and the steam produced turns a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator and the generator generates electricity which goes through wires and transformers until it gets to your home.
On the primary generator when the generator control switch is turned on and the remote start is turned to auto which two lights should come on?
on run online
How does wind energy produce electricity?
The wind turns a blade connected to a transmission, which ensures a consistent speed. The transmission is connected to a generator which produces electricity by magnets being turned around a wire, making electrons flow and producing electricity
How can you use the word generator in a sentence?
The power went off so we turned on the gas generator.
What a generator produces?
A generator, such as the ones used in renewable energy resources, produce electricity when its turned by a turbine.
Does a socket use energy when it is turned on but the appliance connected is turned off?
No
What is produced by a generator?
The general term generator is usually applied to the kind of generator that produces electricity, or electric power.
What machine converts kinetic energy to electricity?
-- Hand-crank generator -- Hydroelectric generator -- Windmill generator -- Front-wheel generator on a bicycle -- Car generator, run by a belt from a wheel on the crank-shaft -- Any turbine generator, i.e. turned by a shaft which is forced to turn by anything else
