In general yes. Now if you have access to a stream that can be dammed off at an elevation of 300 feet above your house, you will be able to generate your own power. The water pressure at your house from that elevation will be about 135 pounds. Pipe that pressure into a Pelton wheel that is connected to a generator and you will have power. A regulating valve to control the pressure at the wheel will be needed. Keep the Pelton wheel turning at 1800 RPM to maintain the proper frequency of the generated voltage is the main prerequisite.
What else can I help you with?
What are the environmental effects of generating electricity?
i have no idea im searching for that too.
What are the social implications of using nuclear energy as compared to other ways of generating electricity?
It generates electricity and it is too dangerous. We cannot depend on nuclear power.
Do I need to change my meter if I switch my electricity retailer?
No, that would be too expensive. The new system will program it.
What is shadding?
Load Shedding is the action taken to reduce the load on something. It mainly refers to the electricity supply in order to avoid too much load on a generating plant.

How does energy transfer from coal too your doorbell?
Coal is burned to create heat, which then produces steam to turn a turbine connected to a generator, generating electricity. This electricity then travels through power lines to your home, where it powers your doorbell when you press the button.
Why is copper good for electrical wiring?
Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity. Among metals it is second only o silver, which is too expensive for practical use in wiring. Copper is also extremely ductile, meaning it can be easily drawn into wires without breaking.
Do solar panels need heat or light?
Solar panels need light to generate electricity. While some heat can be beneficial for their performance, too much heat can decrease efficiency. The primary factor for generating electricity is the conversion of light energy, not heat energy.
Why copper wires are used in householding wires?
It's because copper is the best conductor of electricity, other than silver which is slightly better but too expensive.
Why is Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid?
The cost to run utility electricity to remote areas is very high. It is cheaper to install a small battery solar electric system for this reason.
Why can't ordinary people affored elephant?
Too expensive and probably illegal to own one without some sort of license
Is it smart to own bike insurance?
Yes, it is reasonable to own bike insurance if you use your bike a lot in a well populated place, or if your bike is expensive. You can never be too careful.
