Generators

Generators- a device that produces electricity
Changing mechanical energy into Kinetic energy
Made of 3 parts
Turbine- the part that spins (kinetic energy)
Solenoids- generate the magnetic energy
Conductive wire- carries the electrical energy

1. As the turbines spin, they pass near the solenoid electromagnets on either side.

2. The interaction of the magnetic poles produces an electric current.

3. The conductive wire allows the electricity to travel to a load, such as the engine of a car, or another circuit, such as the wiring in your home.

Powered through small fires that cause air pressure to turn turbine
Powers moving things

Gasoline Powered

Water moves the turbine to generate electricity
Power nearby cities

Water Powered

Water's atoms are split and the steam released turns the turbine
Power whole cities

Nuclear Powered
