Coal makes energy in 6 sorta simple steps.
1) The coal or natural gas is first burned for mainly thermal (or heat) energy.
2) That thermal energy is used to boil water and to produce steam.
3) That steam is then forced through a high pressure tube called a steam line.
4) The steam then pushes a turbine (which is very electrical and i don't know what goes on in there)
5) That turbine then produces electrical energy.
6) The electrical energy is transported to your home and then you use it for searching the internet on how coal makes energy! (how convenient!)

How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
The Huntley power stash-on uses gas and what to produce electricity?
The Huntley power station uses coal and gas to produce electricity.
How does a coal fired power station produce electricity?
A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers.
In coal-fired power plants coal is burned to produce steam which is then used to turn a turbine.?
Yes, coal is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam, which then spins a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. The heat energy from burning coal is converted into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy in the process.
How much energy dose coal power produce?
Coal power plants typically produce around 2-3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity for every pound of coal burned. The energy produced can vary depending on the efficiency of the plant.
Advantages of using coal to produce electricity?

How renewable and non-renewable enerygy sources produce electricity?
They produce electricity be burning coal and then the coal is used to heat, light and do lots of other things.
Does coal generate electricity?
Coal can't generate electricity by itself, but through the process of combustion, it can produce heat which can be used to produce steam that can run turbines which are connected to generators that produces electricity.

How does coal assist in making electricity?
You burn coal to boil water into steam which drives turbines that spin dynamos that produce electricity.
