Could a solar powered spacecraft generate any electricity while passing through earths umbral shadow?
No; "umbra" means "shadow" and solar cells don't work in the shadows. That's why solar powered spacecraft also have batteries to keep them going until they are back in the sunlight. Depending on the altitude and their orbits, they may only be in the shadows for a few minutes, possibly only a few minutes for a few times per day or week.

What is an electronic machine that sometime used as a tool to do work?
A machine that is powered by electricity.
What was the energy source for most American mills in the early 19th century?
19th century factories were often powered by mills that used the running water of a river. This is part of the reason many industrial towns were built on rivers. They were also powered by coal.
How was the Titanic powered?
The Titanic was powered by 24 double-ended and 5 single-ended coal-powered boilers
What is the difference between powered speakers and none powered speakers?
Powered speakers have an amp between the audio source and the speakers. Non-powered speakers have the amp located in the audio source. Speakers are usually called powered if they are sold with an amplifier either attached to the speakers or physically near the speakers.
Where do we get electricity?
Most African countries use coal powered plants to supply electricity. South Africa is the country that generates and consumes the most electricity on the continent of Africa and has a nuclear plant, along with using other energy sources such as wind, solar and water.
How do spacecraft move?
They use big fuel powered rockets that generate a huge amount of thrust to propel them.
Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?
No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity
How do hybrids generate electricity?
They run a gas powered motor which charges a battery.
What is a solar powered radio?
Its a radio that uses a solar cell to generate the electricity to run it.
What powered the Apollo 11 spacecraft?
The spacecraft's electrical power came from storage batteries (also called fuel cells), carried onboard. They generated a maximum of about 2300 watts. The fuel to launch the spacecraft was liquid oxygen (with kerosene, and liquid hydrogen for the upper stages), with nitrogen tetroxide to steer, adjust and make course corrections.
Would creating bicycle powered electricity affect your health?
Depending on how much electricity you plan to generate, the exercise might do you good.

What gives us electricity?
Power stations, which can either be coal, gas, nuclear powered. Green power such as wind, wave and solar power can also be harnessed to generate electricity.
What runs on nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is typically used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants. Ships and submarines also use nuclear energy to power their propulsion systems. Additionally, some research facilities and spacecraft are powered by nuclear energy sources.
What is powered by gravity?
Waterwheels, hydroelectric power plants, and falling weights are some examples of devices or systems that can be powered by gravity. Gravitational energy is harnessed to generate electricity or perform mechanical work in these cases.
How are TV's powered?
TV's are powered with electricity.
Could hydro-powered energy be used for transportation?
Yes, hydro (kinetic) energy can be used to generate electricity. There are many electric vehicles, including trains.
