What is the minimum air speed required to generate electricity in a wind mill?
Typically, wind turbines need a minimum wind speed of about 6-9 mph (3-4 m/s) to generate electricity. This is known as the cut-in speed. At this speed, the turbine blades start rotating and generating power.
What are four types of alternatives energy used to generate electricity?
Solar PowerWind PowerHydroelectric PowerTide - multiple waysGravity - damsGeothermalBiomassburning:trashplantsNuclear - if you consider breeder reactors, but usually are not counted because we will ultimately run out of fissionable Uranium and plutonium using any means in about 4 billion years (For more info http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~blc/book/BOOK.html by Bernard Cohen)Will we be here when we run out? Who knows. Your choice if you want to include it. Don't know if you care but if you do read a little about it.
What are 4 man made sources of electrons that could produce an electrical current?
Batteries: Chemical reactions within a battery produce an excess of electrons that can flow as an electrical current. Generators: Rotating turbines within a generator induce a flow of electrons by electromagnetic induction. Solar panels: Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight into electricity through the photoelectric effect. Thermoelectric generators: Temperature differences are used to generate electricity by exploiting the Seebeck effect.
Name three uses for nuclear reactions?
1. Generating Electricity. 2. Generating Heat - which in turn is used to make steam, which is further used to produce Electricity. 3. As a Weapon of Mass Destruction. 4. Temperature and fusion 5. Nuclear fusion and the Sun 6. Mass and Energy Carbon dating, power plants, and smoke detectors.
What is a energy created by the sun?
Solar energy is energy produced by the sun's nuclear reactions. Solar energy can be harnessed through solar panels to generate electricity or used for heating applications. It is a renewable and sustainable source of energy.
Which fuel can be used to generate electricity?
hard wood, coal, natural gas, and petrolium[ect....] are 4 different fuels that are used differently to generate electricity to provde our homes and other organisims with power we need and also others.
What are the 4 main resources used to generate electricity in New Zealand?
Hydroelectric lakes, geothermal energy, wind power and fossil fuels.
How many fossil fuels are burned to make electricity?
The most common fossil fuels burned to generate electricity are coal, natural gas, and oil. Coal is the most widely used fossil fuel for electricity generation, followed by natural gas and then oil. These fossil fuels are burned in power plants to produce steam which drives turbines to generate electricity.
Are vegetables good conductors of electricity?
It depends what you mean by "good" they are not necessarily "good" conductors of electricity but yes they will conduct electricity. Most things conduct electricity at some level, they may have high resistance but they will still conduct electricity.
What are three ways to generate electricity?
1water 2 magnet 3 coal 4 air 5 mechanical focre
Usages of nuclear energy?
Nuclear Energy is useful in many ways. Mainly to generate electricity and as a fuel source for Aircraft Carriers or Submarines. Nuclear energy can be used to generate around 2000 Mega Watts per Unit, And usually a whole powerplant contains 4 units. 4*2000 = 8000 Mega Watts.
What is one major way coal is used today?
We use coal 4 oil. we get half of our oil from California wells. Over 50 % of the oil we use, in the entire US comes from the outdoors
What are the 4 uses of hydrogen?
Hydrogen is used in fuel cells to generate electricity, in industrial processes for ammonia production, as a reducing agent in metal refining, and in the production of rocket fuel.
What are 4 uses of coal?
1)It is burned for electricity 2)It is manufactured into things such as medicine, dyes, and plastic. 3)Is used in the production of ethonal 4)Can produce syngas which which can be converted into gas or diesel for a vehicle.
