Electricity was a new and little-understood phenomenon in European Physics

laboratories during US colonial times. There was not a single telephone, radio,

Playstation, or light bulb anywhere in North America, for another hundred years.

Think about THAT for a while !

How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?

Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.


Can an ac motor generate electricity?

An ac motor cannot generate electricity but its shaft can be coupled to that of certain devices like an alternator to in order to generate electricity.


What is an area called where there is a large group of windmills generating electricity?

a wind field


What is one disadvantage of using windmills to generate electicity?

Weather changes. Wind does not blow all the time, and it does not blow at the same speed all the time, so the power output of a wind turbine is not as predictable as that of a fossil fuel burning power plant, where you have the option of using however much fuel you want, at any given time.


Can you use a 24VDC-100RPM motor as wind generator?

All DC Motors can generate electricity according to their size & input volt. 24 volt DC Motor is best for generate electricity. Even you can generate up to 24 volt AC. The big size of Motor is also depends to generate more ampere (current). Remember 24 volt DC Motor which have less RPM without gear is better & efficient for generate electricity than having the more RPM (Round Per Minute). So try it & generate electricity.
