∙ 13y agoThe wind turbine has rotor gears, or propellers, that move when there is wind. This is kinetic energy. The kinetic energy is changed to electric inside the generator in the turbine, which then goes to power plants and then to our homes.

∙ 13y agoA wind turbine is used for a mechanical energy to electrical energy transformation, I believe. Hope this helps(:

∙ 15y agoEnergy that is generated by wind turbines, which are towers that have large propellors that are turned by the movement of the wind and turn an electric generator.

∙ 9y agoWind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. The mechanical power can used for specific tasks or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.

What kind of energy is turbine blades turning?
from mechanical to electrical
What kind of device is used to convert moving water to electrical energy?
Hydro-electric turbine
What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
Is a wind turbine an example of sound energy?
No. A wind turbine uses mechanical energy (the moving air) to generate electrical energy.
Energy transformation that occur during the operation of wind turbine?
During the operation of a wind turbine, the wind spins the blades of the turbine. Therefore, the energy is transferred into the turbine, which generates electricity. A generator is a machine that produces electrical energy from mechanical energy. And so as a result, the wind energy turns into mechanical energy and turns into electric energy. Does that help?
What kind of energy does a wind turbine convert?
kinetic energy
What kind of energy is made when steam comes out of the earth and spins a turbine?
The energy made by the turbine/generator is electrical, but the source of the energy is geothermal
What kind of energy is turbine blades turning?
from mechanical to electrical
What types of energy can burning coal produce?
The burning becomes heat energy. The heat boils water to make steam, which then turns a turbine, which is kinetic energy. The turbine can power a power generator, producing electric energy, which can then produce almost any kind of energy.
What kind of energy are wind turbine generators used to create?
Wind turbine generators are used to convert the kinetic (movement) energy of the wind directly into electrical energy, which is used to power electrical appliances and needs no further conversion.
What kind of device is used to convert moving water to electrical energy?
Hydro-electric turbine
A wind turbine changes what kind of energy into electrical energy?
kinetic (the energy in the moving air)
What type of energy does the steam in a steam turbine have?
It is heat energy. The turbine turns heat energy into mechanical energy.
What kind of energy does a coal burning power plant use to create steam to operate a turbine?
nothing
What is inside a wind turbine?
A wind turbine generates electricity by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy. The kinetic energy of the wind transfers to the turbine, and the kinetic energy of the turbine converts to electric energy as it spins within an electromagnetic field.
Is a wind turbine a renewable energy sources?
Yes, a wind turbine is a renewable energy source!!
The kind of power produced when the energy of flowing water turns a generator turbine?
Hydroelectric power is made when this happens
