it did not have horsepower, but it could sail up to 25 knots and was at 22 when it struck the iceberg answer 2 59,000 hp was produced at maximum revolutions by Titanic. Titanic had two reciprocating steam engines which made 30 000 HP together. She also had one steam turbine with an output of 16 000 HP. This is a total of 46,000 HP for propulsion.
Adding the electrical generators and other support machinery, Titanic total output is listed as 51 000 HP.

What is the biggest windmill?
The world biggest wind turbine is 720 feet tall with 260 foot blades. It can also generate 8 megawatts of power that can supply electricity to 7,500 European homes. It's located at the Danish National Test Centre for Large Wind Turbines in Osterilid.
What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?
The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.
How much energy do wind turbines create?
Two 5MW offshore wind turbines were built on the DEWI-OCC test field in Cuxhaven, Germany in December 2006.A:Typically a wind turbine will produce between 5 and 8% of what they are rated for on average. Thus a 5 MWh plant should be able to produce 100,000 KWh each hour they are running. Most currently built systems are rated for 1 MWh in the United States so they typically will produce about 20,000 KWh of actual power. Wind systems are rated for average winds of 28 mph. If the average wind is 14 mph, they produce 10% of rated. If wind goes over 31 mph they produce no power and can consume energy to slow the blades. Feathering of blades does asist on reducing these issues, but doesn't eliminate them. A:A wind turbine in optimal winds generates its plate capacity. For example, a typical 3 MW wind turbine will generate 3 MW of electricity. An outdated but still moderately useful rule-of-thumb was that a megawatt would power a thousand homes; consumption is higher now so it's a little less than that, but still, a single 3 megawatt wind turbine will provide power in optimal winds to power close to 3000 homes. Winds vary, however. A typical jurisdiction will see 30% on average of the plate capacity over the course of a year. Some jurisdictions, such as north-eastern Brazil, have excellent winds and see capacity factors of 50%. Wind turbines are very economically viable at 30% capacity factors and become more profitable at higher factors.Except in very low or very high winds, wind turbines will usually be generating some electricity. They aren't just on or off.These factors are taken into account by grid managers when planning and managing new generation, new transmission and operating the grid.Most industrial wind turbines do take about their faceplate capacity from the grid for a few minutes at startup to get the rotors moving. This is trivial in comparison to hours, days or even weeks of continuous generation. In addition, as one wind turbine in a farm comes on line, it provides power to the very local grid to be used by the other wind turbines; the wind farm will typically boot itself up with significantly less than the number of wind turbines times the faceplate capacity from other sources.A:Every wind turbine has a range of wind speeds, typically 30 to 55 mph, in which it will produce at its rated, or maximum, capacity. If the wind is in the ideal range for a 1.5-MW wind turbine, it will produce power at the rate of 1.5 MW, its rated, or maximum, capacity. At slower wind speeds, however, the production falls off dramatically. Industry estimates project an annual output of 30-40%, but real-world experience shows that annual outputs of 15-30% of capacity are typical.
How does a hydroelectric power plant produces electricity?
hydropower is made by water from water dams an proccessed by i think machines. some one please write a logical answer because i need to know this for a science project!!! ok ok. hydropower is made by dams moving water. they have a spining thing, which is called turbines, at the bottom of the dam that spins when water moves past it. that creates power or electricity, i think. so yea. the faster the turbines spin the more power it produces. i hope that helps
Can you produce power electricity- www.powerfromgravity.com from gravitational not a dam force?
Can we produce power (electricity - www.powerfromgravity.com) from gravitaitonal (not from dam) force by using buoyancy from renewable source of energy?
How many MW does a kaplan turbine produce?
The maximum power of a Kaplan Turbine is about 230MW
What is the relationship turbine and generator?
steam powers a turbine which drives a generator to produce electrical power
How much steam is required to produce 5 MW power in steam turbine?
How much steam is required to produce 5 MW power in steam turbine?In fully condensing turbine we will need 20 TPH steam required to generate for 5MW
How many Megawatts does one turbine produce?
The power output of a wind turbine can vary depending on its size and wind conditions, but on average, a single turbine can produce between 2 to 3 megawatts of electricity.
How many homes does one wind turbine power?
one wind turbine can produce enough energy to power 10000 houses with the right amount of wind.
A wind turbine uses the power of the wind to produce nuclear energy?
What are you smoking?
How is the power-station the same as a wind powered turbine?
They both produce electricity
What turns the turbine in a nuclear power plant?
In a nuclear power plant, the turbine is turned by steam produced by the heat generated from nuclear fission in the reactor core. The steam drives the turbine which then rotates a generator to produce electricity.
What is the relationship between turbine and the generator?
They are used together to make hydroelectricity.
What kind of machine uses wind to produce power?
wind turbineswind millsgliderssailing ships
Which does not provide the energy to spin a turbine?
A nuclear power plant does not directly provide the energy to spin a turbine. In a nuclear power plant, nuclear fission generates heat, which is then used to produce steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity.
What is the uses of packing steam in turbine?
The main uses for packing steam in a turbine are to produce electricity and power. The steam creates pressure when in turn spins a turbine at very high rates of speed.
