No, it only works when the wind is blowing. This is why renewable energy is best with a mix of resources. Solar energy, hydro power and wind are three that together can supply constant power.

The spinning Turbine turns a what to make electricity?

The spinning turbine turns a generator to produce electricity. The turbine is usually connected to the generator's shaft, causing it to rotate and generate electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.


Which alternative energy resource is used to make electricity in this figure?

The figure likely shows a wind turbine generating electricity from wind energy.


How do water wheels make electricity?

Water wheels make electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing water to turn a turbine connected to a generator. As the water flows over the wheel, it causes it to rotate, which in turn spins the turbine. The spinning turbine then generates electricity through the connected generator, which can be used to power homes and businesses.


How wind energy works?

A wind turbine works the opposite of a fan. Instead of using electricity to make wind, a turbine uses wind to make electricity. The wind turns the blades, which spin a shaft, which connects to a generator and makes electricity. The electricity is sent through transmission and distribution lines to a substation, then on to homes, business and schools.


How much electricity does one steam turbine make in a sec?

The amount of electricity generated by a steam turbine in one second depends on several factors, including the size and efficiency of the turbine, the pressure and temperature of the steam, and the overall power output of the turbine. On average, a large steam turbine can produce anywhere from 1 to 5 megawatts of electricity per second. However, it is important to note that this is a general estimate and actual output can vary significantly based on specific operating conditions and design parameters.

How do you make electricity out of steam?

There is a type of electrical generating machine called a steam turbine. Steam is used to make the turbine spin. The turbine contains magnets, and the moving magnetic fields, as they intersect wires, generate electricity.


Is it true that a turbine turns kinetic energy to electrical energy?

No. A turbine turns linear motion of a working fluid (which can be a liquid or gas) into rotational motion. No electricity need be involved.You can hook a turbine to a generator and use the rotational motion produced by the turbine to make electricity. But the turbine itself does not do this.


What are the tiny particles that make up electricity?

The electrons make up the electricity. For commercial production of electricity one needs to move the turbine in a magnetic field.


The spinning Turbine turns a what to make electricity?

The spinning turbine turns a generator to produce electricity. The turbine is usually connected to the generator's shaft, causing it to rotate and generate electrical energy through electromagnetic induction.


What is electricity and how it produces?

Electricity is an energy that can make changes in matter, and create light, heat, or motion. It is made when fossil fuels are burned at a power plant and he pressure builds up with the smoke and it makes a turbine spin, that turbine then uses other materials such as magnets to make electricity from there.


How is moveing water used?

It used to make electricity, but first it has to go by a turbine and make it spin to make electricty.


How does Hydro electricity power make electricity?

the basic principle is that the kinetic energy of falling water is converted to electrical energy.the water which falls on a water turbine makes it to rotate and the generator which is coupled to it(turbine) also rotates and produces electricity.


How is electricity produce in a nuclear plant?

Heat is released to change water to steam.Then the steam turn the bladof a turbine to make electricity.


How do you make a simple water turbine for a school project using simple materials?

take a rod like structure. make a fan like turbine . On the rod wind thind copper wire around it and give electricity to the wire this wiil make it a electromagnet.take two magnets and attach them near your coil of wire . whenthe turbine will rotate electricity will be formed.

What instruments are needed to build a wind turbine?

You will need something tall to mount your turbine, propellers, a generator (if you're using it to make electricity), the land, and any other small pieces to hold your turbine together.
