What else can I help you with?
How is air used to generate energy?
Air/wind can turn a fan or windmill that is connected to a generator in the same way that water is converted to steam in order to turn a turbine. Air, and more specifically wind, is used to power windmills, that cause a turbine to turn, and generate electricity.
How many sails are there on a windmill?
Windmills typically have four sails, or blades, although some designs may have more or fewer depending on the specific type of windmill and its purpose. Each sail is attached to a rotating shaft that helps generate power from the wind.
What is the difference between motor and alternator?
Both are actually the same in many ways. A regular motor can be used to generate electricity if turned by an outside source(pulley and belt) Example,,,wind generators are basically motors operated by the paddles of the windmill turning the armature of the motor.
Does biomass use heat to generate electricity?
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.
How do fossil fuels nuclear energy and solar energy generate electricity in the same way?
becase there weird
What does hydro-electricity do?
Hyro-electricity is the same as any other electricity. the Hydro- prefix merely denotes how the electricity was generated, in this case it was generated at a hydro-electric plant which uses the potential energy of elevated water to generate electricity.
How can geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity?
let the geothernal energy to boil the water, then use the stream to generate the electricity. it is the same way when you use coal generate the electricity. but the detail system is very complicated.
How is wind use to generate electricity?
Wind energy is used to generate electricity in a manner similar to the way water is used for the same purpose. The wind turns the blades of a giant turbine, which looks like a big fan, and the turbine turns a shaft. When the shaft turns it spins a generator which causes it to make electricity.
What type of energy has electrically charged particles?
This is a trick question, because the word electricity, comes from the word electron. An electron is the negative charge of an atom. This same charge is electricity, that is, everything that we know to be electricity, is this negative charge. So your answer is, electricity.
How is wind energy used to generate electricity?
Wind energy is used to generate electricity in a manner similar to the way water is used for the same purpose. The wind turns the blades of a giant turbine, which looks like a big fan, and the turbine turns a shaft. When the shaft turns it spins a generator which causes it to make electricity.
How can water and wind be harnessed to generate electricity?
They both power turbines which rotate to generate electricity. A turbine works the same way as an electric motor.
How do nuclear power plant owners generate revenue from their reactors?
By selling the electricity generated from the heat of the reactor. Same as fossil fuel power plants do, sell electricity generated from the heat of burning.
