As far as I know, all generators produce a voltage. If there is nothing connected across it, then no energy is produced.
If there is some kind of load connected to it, then electrical energy flows into the load. Any energy that is wasted by the generator itself, the transmission lines, or the load itself changes into heat energy.
It might depend on the generator, though. I guess some might need to be "on" at all times to run properly. Although the turbines don't need to put out energy all the time, a nuclear power plant does produce thermal energy at all times that it is on. In that case, they'd have a big load nearby to use the otherwise wasted energy in. The best case would be to put that waste energy to use, in a nearby desalination plant or refinery, for instance.
A generator produces electricity. A battery holds an electrical charge.
A machine that makes electricity is called a generator. Generators use electromagnetism to convert physical movement into electricity.
The method of turning manure into electricity is called "biogas" and is a procedure where cattle manure is processed to release methane gas that will be burned as fuel to power a generator.
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
A generator is used to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. An oscillator is used to convert dc to ac
If electricty leaves, you can use a UPS or a generator to keep electricity going.
The general term generator is usually applied to the kind of generator that produces electricity, or electric power.
electricity :)
A self-contained motor/generator that can make electricity available whenever it is used.
Generator converts mechanical to electrical energy. It is used to produce electricity.
A generator, such as the ones used in renewable energy resources, produce electricity when its turned by a turbine.
A backup generator is used in cases of electricity power outages. The generator can be connected to your electric service and will power the electricity for a number of hours. To hook up a backup generator it would be advisable to hire a professional electrician.
None. A generator generates electricity, it does not store it.
steam is used to generate electricity. what happens to the steam after it has generated 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).
The purpose of a generator is to generate electricity. An electric generator would be redundant. It would need electricity to make electricity and when there is a power outage there is not electricity.
The steam from the boiling water is used to turn a turbine, which spins the rotor of a generator. The generator is what actually produces electricity.
