electric generating set

When a neutron hits the enriched U-235, energy is released and this heat generated in the reactor is carried away by heavy water or liquid sodium. This energy is used for generating steam in the heat exchanger. The steam thus produced is used by the turbines and these are in tu..

The electric generator is a machine for producing electric current. The electric generator or dynamo converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. DC Generator..

Thermo-couples can be used to generate electric power using Seebeck effect, in remote areas. This can be done by heating one junction of a thermo-couple in a flame (e.g., of kerosene lamp) and keeping the other junction in air at room temperature. The thermo-emf so generate..

Electric Generator (AC) - The electric generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The two types of generators are DC and AC generators: DC Generators - A cycle dynamo and a car dynamo are examples of D..

Geothermal energy can be used to generate electricity in various ways. If dry steam comes out of the surface of the earth, it can be used directly to turn turbines connected to generators. The world's largest geothermal electric power plant, at Geysers St..

The picture shows a seven storey-high 17m wind turbine producing 60 KW of power from a wind with a velocity of 45 km/h. Wind Turbine Wind turbines are used to produce electricity. The machines that generate electricity are the most conventional type with airfoil propel..

When a straight conductor is moved rapidly in a magnetic field, then a current is induced in the conductor. It is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic inductio..

Action of sharp points: Charges are leaked from pointed ends of charged conductors. This creates an electric wind (as moving air is ionized) which moves away from the conducto..

>As the armature rotates about an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field, it keeps on changing its relative orientation with respect to the field Thus the flux keeps on changing continuously with time This change in magnetic flux induces an emf If the outer terminals of the armature are connected..

. But it was the American inventor, Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1796) who experimented with electricity and made major inroads in understanding the phenomenon. By the middle of the eighteenth century, there were machines that could generate large electrical charges. Stat..
