Uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine?

A windmill uses movement of water or wind to spin a turbine. This is a natural way to make energy and keep it for future use.


How power generators work?

Giant wheels called TURBINES are used to spin the magnets inside the generator. It takes a lot of energy to spin the turbine and different kinds of power plants get that energy from different sources. In a hydroelectric station, falling water is used to spin the turbine. In nuclear and fossil-fuelled generating stations, steam is used. A wind turbine uses the force of moving air.


What is the difference between turbo and supercharger?

The turbo uses exhaust gas the spin up the turbine in order to compress more air into the combustion chamber for more power while the supercharger uses serpentine belt driven from the crankshaft to spin up the turbine.


How does geothermal energy get turbine blades to spin?

Geothermal energy uses the heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate steam. This steam is then used to spin turbine blades attached to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy of the spinning blades into electricity.


What is a kind of engine that uses water steam or heat that starts with tur?

The word is "turbine".


What are the step by step processes to turn oil in to electricity?

# Burn the oil, use the heat to boil water. # Use the steam from the boiling water to spin a steam turbine. # Use the steam turbine to turn an electric generator. This is the basic process a conventional power station uses to generate electricity.


Is a water turbine a wind powered thing?

No it is powered by water. The flow of the water generates electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to generate the electricity


Why would a turbine be used instead of a water wheel?

a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.


What is a engine that uses water steam or heat that startes with tur?

A turbine is an engine that uses steam or heat to generate power. In a steam turbine, high-pressure steam is directed onto blades, causing the turbine to spin and convert thermal energy into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy can then be used to generate electricity or drive machinery. Turbines are commonly used in power plants and various industrial applications.


How does hydroelctric work?

Hydroelectricity, a way or producing Eco-friendly electricity, uses the gravitational potential energy of water, uses falling water to turn a turbine, like water falling from a tap that falls onto a turbine and turns it, the turbine then turns a generator which produces electricity.


What happens when the turbine uses up all the water for hydroelectric?

The water doesn't actually get used up, instead it passes through the turbine and continues on like normal. However, it will have been slowed down by the turbine.


How did the steam boat work?

A steam boat uses superheated water (steam) to turn a turbine. This turning turbine thereby is connected to a engine that uses mechanical means to turn a propeller.
