How are hydroelectric power stations built?
Firstly, the topographer makes a detailed study of the topography on the local, in which the hydroelectric power plant will be built. Then on an appropriate place the terrain is lowered to form the waterfall which will move the turbines that will generate electricity. The river is blocked to form a huge dam and it has a channel to make the water fall from the top of the dam. Many stages to be followed until the turbines begin to generate electricity.
What is steam power made from?
Steam power could be described as pressure. Water heated above the boiling point turns to steam and the molecules move very rapidly and want to separate. If the water is in an enclosed area, the pressure will increase. This pressure can be used to move components of an engine that generates electricity. Generally, steam power is used to generate electricity or in the case of old railroad engines, it was used to actually push the train forward. Generally steam power isn't very efficient because you need an extreme source of heat to bring the water to boiling.
Why can metals conduct electricity but remain unchanged?
Only the free valence electrons forming the electron "gas" move and as many move in as move out. Only metals form this electron "gas".
How do you make image move down page as you scroll down?
You would add style="position:fixed" to your tag to make the image move down the page as you scroll.
How does electricity pass through lead?
The same as it does in any metal. Metals have a number of electrons that can move about freely; these carry the current.
Is there a windmill that can move and generate electricity at the same time?
no
What subatomic particles move to generate electricity?
Electrons are the subatomic particles that move to generate electricity. When electrons flow through a conductor, such as a wire, they create an electric current that can be harnessed to power devices.
What engine parts that move up and down?
pistons, cams, valves
What are the positions of the pistons on a 1992 V6 engine?
in the engine and they move up and down when it is running
How does a motobike engine work?
there are pistons in the motorbike and the move up and down and it makes the cog move then the chain moves the bike
How fast does water have to move to make electricity?
The speed at which water needs to move to generate electricity depends on the design of the hydroelectric power system. In general, water must flow at a minimum velocity of about 3-5 feet per second to turn the turbines and generate electricity efficiently. However, higher velocities may be required for certain systems to generate sufficient power.
Transfers thermal energy to move pistons that provides power?
This describes a heat engine, such as an internal combustion engine. Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, which drives the movement of pistons to generate power.
How can energy change a radio used to generate electricity?
Radio waves when they contact metal cause the metal's electrons to move (away from the atoms they are nearest) -- electricity.
How can static energy generate electricity?
Static electricity can generate electricity through processes like the triboelectric effect, where friction between two different materials results in the transfer of electrons. When these electrons move through a circuit, they create an electric current that can be harnessed for various applications. Devices such as static electricity generators convert this energy into usable electricity.
How can you move a drinks can with a balloon?
You can move a drinks can with a balloon by creating static electricity on the balloon and then using that static charge to attract the can. Rub the balloon against your hair or a piece of fabric to generate static electricity, then hold the balloon near the can to make it move. The can will be attracted to the charged balloon due to static electricity.
Why cant conductors generate static electricity when rubbed together?
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
Does the crankshaft move the pistons up and down?
the pistons drive the crankshaft via the connecting rods, though on start up the starter motor drives the crankshaft in its proper rotation direction to get the ball rolling
