Can fire be turned into electricity?
Not directly, but fire can be used to help make electricity, for example fire can be used to boil water and make steam, steam can be used to power generators which in turn make electricity.
How can steam be turned into usable energy?
The steam can be used to turn a generator's turbines and make electricity.
What happens to steam after it has generated electricity?
steam is used to generate electricity. what happens to the steam after it has generated electricity?
How is fossil fuel used to create electricity?
Coal is burnt to boil water into steam steam is then used to drive turbines that are connected to generators that make electricity
What has to happen to nuclear before it cam be used to generate electricity?
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity
How is biofuel used to make electricity?
Biofuel can be used in an oil-fired power plant to heat water to steam. The steam drives electrical turbines that produce electricity.
What is burned to heat water which make steam and generates electricity?
no one knows
State why you need coal to generate electricity?
Electricity is made by converting some form of energy into electricity. Coal is used to heat water in a boiler to make steam. The steam pressure rotates a turbine to power a generator.
How is electricity produce in a nuclear plant?
Heat is released to change water to steam.Then the steam turn the bladof a turbine to make electricity.
How can you make water into electricity?
The vast majority of power stations heat water to form high pressure steam. This steam is used to drive a turbine which in turn drives a generator. The generator outputs electricity!
How can electricity make objects more?
Electricity can do more than just shock you when opening the door or make dust and pet hair to stick to you. Electricity can actually bend a steam of water and can charge objects.
How coal is used to make electricity?
Coal is used to generate almost half of all electricity produced in the United States. Besides electric utility companies, industries and businesses with their own power plants use coal to generate electricity. Power plants burn coal to make steam. The steam turns turbines which generate electricity.
