Any moving fluid can power a turbine. This includes air, water, steam, burning fuel etc.

When the fluid strikes the blades of the turbime it transfers energy to the blade causing the blade to move.

A device that supplies the mechanical energy to turn the armature of a generator is a?

The device that supplies mechanical energy to turn the armature of a generator is called a prime mover. Examples of prime movers include steam turbines, gas turbines, and diesel engines.


What energy transformations in wind generator?

The mechanical energy of wind pushes on the blades, turning them (still mechanical energy) turning blades turn the generator (still mechanical) The generator changes mechanical energy to electrical energy.


Which pair is made up of two things that work in opposite way's A bar magnet and horseshoe magnet B chemical energy and mechanical energy C generator and motor D solar energy and geothermal energy?

C. Generator and motor. In case of generator mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy But in motor, electrical energy is changed into mechanical energy.


What is a device able to supply electrical energy called?

A device that supplies electrical energy is called a power source or a generator. It converts other forms of energy, such as mechanical or chemical, into electrical energy.


Is a windmill electrical to thermal or electrical to mechanical or chemical to thermal?

Assuming that you're talking about a wind-powered electrical generator (such as a "wind farm"), the energy conversion is from mechanical to electrical. When the wind blows on the blades of the mill it rotates them, creating mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power the electrical generator inside the mill, creating electrical energy out of mechanical energy.
