Energy doesn't 'take place'. Until you become more comfortable with it, you
should think of it as some kind of fluid, that flows from place to place, and can
be stored in several ways for when it's needed.
An electric generator is a machine that has a shaft and two terminal connections.
It can supply electrical energy through the terminals when you spin the shaft.
You just have to find something else that has energy, and skim energy off of
that to spin the shaft of the generator. Some possibilities are:
-- wind turning a windmill coupled to the shaft
-- water falling through vanes on the shaft
-- fire boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft
-- uranium in a nuclear reactor getting hot and boiling water and blowing the steam through vanes on the shaft
-- a person pedaling an exercise bike coupled to the shaft
-- 400 hamsters running on a treadmill coupled to the shaft.
In every case, it takes 'kinetic energy' to spin the shaft, and the generator
converts that kinetic energy into electrical energy.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the coil have to spin in a generator?
A coil has to spin in a generator to produce electricity.
Device that converts mechanical mechanical energy into electricity by electromagnetic induction?
Generator
What piece of equipment is used to produce electricity?
Some possible answers are: a battery (which produces direct current) or a generator of electricity generator, such as a dynamo (which produces direct current) or an alternator (which produces alternating current).
A machine for making electricity?
Generator or dynamo
Current electricity vs electrical current?
Current or "electrical current" (to distinguish it from current in a river) is the flow of electrons in a wire which can perform useful work. The current can be generated by a battery or a generator, or by other means. Current electricity is not a commonly used term. "Current electricity" is the science of electric currents, and it means the same thing as Electrodynamics. Example: the Electrical Sciences can be divided into two parts: Static Electricity or Electrostatics, and Current Electricity or Electrodynamics.
How does electricity be generated by wind turbines?
They use a generator to turn it into Electricity
How does electricity be generated by wind?
with windmills which gears turn a generator to make electricity
How is elecreicity generated?
Electricity can be generated through a generator. It can also be made by rubbing your slippers across the carpet.
What is the output of a bicycle generator?
The output of a bicycle generator is electricity, which is generated by pedaling the bicycle to power a generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
How does heat generated by fission get turned into electricity?
Heat generated by fission is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator. The generator then converts mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.
How you get electricity?
Electricity is a concept and exists everywhere, even in vacuum. Hence you can not "get" electricity. An electrical current can be generated by connecting two voltage sources of different potential with a conductor. A voltage can be generated with an electromagnetic generator. An electromagnetic generator generates voltages by moving electrons in a conductor through a magnetic field, causing a force upon the electrons.
How is energy generated using wind power?
Wind power is generated by the force of wind turning turbine blades. As the blades rotate, they drive a generator to produce electricity. The electricity is then fed into a power grid for distribution.
What is an electric source?
An electricity generator is an electrical source. A power point on the wall is an electrical source.An electrical source is the place where electricity can be accessed from or the place where it is generated.
How can electricity be generated from wood?
Electricity can be generated from wood by burning it to produce heat, which is then used to create steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This process is known as biomass power generation.
How is electricity generated using wind?
Electricity is generated using wind by harnessing the energy from wind to spin the blades of a turbine connected to a generator. As the blades turn, the generator converts the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. This electricity is then transmitted through power lines for use.
How is electricity generated by nuclear fuels?
The nuclear reaction creates heat. The heat is used to create steam and run a steam generator.
How is electrical energy generated from running water?
Usually the water will turn some wheels or turbine; this will then turn a generator, which generates the electricity.
