A:
Yes water is used as a source of energy
A:
Yes, water is used as a source of energy in various forms. The most common use is hydropower whereby the force of the water (ie, due to a height difference) is used to gain electricity. Hydropower stations are often build near dams. Other types of hydropower plants use the naturally occurring streaming of water in rivers to gain electricity.
More recent ways of gaining energy from water is via tidal generators (the natural cycle of the sea tide is used to gain power) and wave generators (the constant up-and-down movement of seawaves generate electricity.

What is the best description of a pneumatic pressure energy type source?
typically involving compressed air or gases, an example being compressed air lines that power air ratchets
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
Does air possess potential energy?
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
Are non-renewable energy sources the most harmful to the planet?
They are because they polute the air and water of the earth.
What is a example of compression?
Air , when compressed and contained can then be utilized as a source of power for a jack-hammer or any other air tool .

Why pump can't use for compressed air?
Pump cant use compressed air because its a heat exchange process where mostly burnt fuel is converted as a source of energy . Compressed air is best in compressor engines .
What is the best example of a piece of machinery or equipment containing a pneumatic pressure energy source?
compressed air lines that power air ratchets
What energy is used to keep a machine moving?
When it come to machine, it can be run on various energy source. Industrial machine usually run on electricity but some would run on compressed air and use electricity for fine control of compressed air. Some heavy industrial machine like driller might run on gasoline. Some pump might as well designed to run on steam pressure and compressed air. I believe there is no limit to what energy source it could be use to power, just what energy source would be convenience and fit to the task.
What has the author L E Wiles written?
L. E Wiles has written: 'The effects of water on compressed air energy storage in porous rock reservoirs' -- subject(s): Energy storage, Underground storage, Compressed air
What need air water and source of energy?
Maybe it is a plant.
What is the difference in ability of water and air to be compressed?
Air is easy compressed, water with many difficulties at very high pressures.
What is the purpose of a compressed air dryer?
A compressed air dryer is used to remove water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are used mostly in commercial and industrial facilities.
What do compressed air dryers do?
A compressed air dryer is a device for removing water vapor from compressed air. Compressed air dryers are commonly found in a wide range of industrial and commercial facilities.
Mechanical energy is converted into fluid when air is compressed exhausted absent extended?
compressed
Energy cost for compressed air?
About the same as for a window air conditioner.
Does air possess potential energy?
Compressed air does, but not air at normal atmospheric pressure
