Fossil fuels such ascoaland oil is used to generate heat. This heat converts water into steam at very high temperature and high pressure. This steam at high pressure drives a steam turbine. Therotating shaft of the steam turbineis coupled to the armature of the alternator to generate electric...
Or take a more recent example in the United States: We’re using more natural gas and less coal to generate electricity. Why? Because new drilling techniques made it much cheaper. It was a matter of economics, not the environment. In fact, whether natural gas is better or worse than ...
Is it possible to generate electricity directly from heat? Why is it that some appliance plugs have three prongs and others have only two? Are fluorescent bulbs really more efficient than normal light bulbs? More Great Links Theater of Electricity ElectricityForum.com U.S. DOE: Electricity PG&E...

There are many solar technologies, but homeowners have three main options at their disposal: Using solar energy to generate electricity. Using solar energy for water heating. Using the sun as a natural light source. While you can use solar panels to power your entire home, full system installat...
Q: Do solar panels reduce electricity bills? A: Yes! Atlanta gets over 1,500 hours of usable sunlight per year. And since every square foot of roof space can generate15 watts of solar energy, you can scale your number of solar panels with the amount of energy you want to generate. The...

(2) Exciter Windings: Conversion of DC Current to AC Current – The exciter windings now function similar to the primary stator windings and generate a small AC current. The exciter windings are connected to units known as rotating rectifiers. ...
Electric heating systems use electricity to circulate air throughout your home instead of relying on natural gas, reducing emissions and lowering your bills.
Solar panels are being used globally at an individual and national scale. The panels used to capture energy from the sun are predominantly made from silicon. The panels generate a flow of electrons through the photovoltaic cells on each panel, creating electricity that is used to power homes. ...
