power generating set

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..

Energy Generation - Generating energy to meet the demands of human being is one of the greatest interferences of human beings on the nature. Any form of generating energy leads to imbalance in natural eco-systems. Some of such imbalances will cause pollution. Out of im..

The electricity produced from flowing water is called Hydroelectric power. The world's first hydroelectric power plant was set up in 1882 in Wisconsin USA. It had a very small output, supplying power only for about 250 light bulbs. But from this small start t..

Large amount of fossil fuels are burnt everyday in power stations to heat up water, to produce steam which further runs the turbines to generate electricity. The transmission of electricity is more efficient than transporting coal or petroleum over the same distance. Theref..

Electricity is produced by converting the potential energy of water (from a height) into the kinetic energy of flowing water. Hydroelectricity or hydroelectric power is produced, when large quantities of water stored in dams at a suitable height, are released to fall from a height. A dyn..

Electricity is obtained from flowing water. Water from the dam is allowed to flow through the tunnels at a high pressure. Turbines convert the potential energy of the water into electrical energy. About 23,800 MW of energy is generated by hydel power in India. Hydel power..

The tides are formed due to the gravitational force of attraction between the earth, sun and moon. During high tides sea water is trapped in a reservoir, and released later to drive turbines, which in turn produces electricity. The block diagram given below illustrates the transformation of energy..

The picture shows a seven storey-high 17m wind turbine producing 60 KW of power from a wind with a velocity of 45 km/..
