The primary means of producing electricity from heat involves heating water until it becomes steam, this steam is kept under pressure so that its volume remains the same while it continues to gain the energy from the heat. Once the steam has absorbed as much energy as we can give it, we allow it to expand into pipes, releasing the energy we put in as it does. That heat energy is transfered to rotational motion as the steam expands and pushes the blades of a turbine. The axle of the turbine is in turn connected to a generator which turns rotational motion into electricity. weather the heat is generated by nuclear reactions, coal, or whatever else you like is irrelevant.
What else can I help you with?
How is power generated by windmills?
Windmills generate power by capturing the kinetic energy in the wind and converting it into mechanical energy through turbine blades. The rotating blades spin a generator, which then converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. This electricity can then be fed into the power grid for distribution.
Do you think Energy from the tides can be used to generate power?
When the tide come in, you catch and hold the water, and when the tide ebbs (runs out), the water can turn turbines and generate electricity. the tides go in and turn the turbine and the tides go out and turn the turbine. the turbine creates kinectic energy to create electricty.
Which of th following is the best description of an electrical energy type source?
Machinery and equipment that relate to or are poerated by electricty, two examples and circuit breakers
How are street lights switched ON automatically on a cloudy afternoon?
streetlights have whats called a photovoltaic cell on top of there casings,this cell works by using sunlight to generate a little current,when there is less sun it will generate less electricty,when it generates less than a certin current it will triger a switch in the streetlight,when the sun comes back out bit by bit it will generate current again until a certin point which is related to how bright the sun is shining and then the light will turn back off
What flows in a circuit to generate a current?
Electricity flows in a circuit to generate a current.
How does solar power generate electricty?
it eats a lot of eggs
How is nuclear energy used to generate electricity fuel or as a food source?
CARS , VEHICALS ,ELECTRICTY FUELS.
Hydroelectric is used?
Is used near biodies of water to generate electricty. It uses the flow of the water to turn turbines that are conected to generators.
What is another source of renewable energy?
Another source of renewable energy is biomass fuel, hydro power which generates elecricity using dams and rivers etc, wind energy using turbines to generate electricty, solar power which absorbs energy from the sun to heat water and generate electricty. If you want to know more, check wikipedia or google...
Is coal used to produce energy or electricity?
Electricty is a form of energy. Coal can be used as fuel for a power plant to generate electricity, among other things.
