can mechanical energy be converted into electical energy?

Question

relationship of mechanical energy and electrical energy
`detail steps about mechanical energy converted into electrical energy

Answer 1

Nuclear heating up water to produce steam for steam turbines
Gas Turbines
Diesels
All turn shafts that couple to a Generator (which is a motor electrically)

There are many types of generators, but basicaly they will convert the rotating mechanical energy to electrical. In the Power Industry this would be 3 phase 60 Hz for the US.

From here you would run this through transformers to send through the transmission lines, etc . . .

Answer 2

To convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, use a generator. If the mechanical power is not in the form of a spinning shaft (which is needed to spin the generator) then use a crankshaft to convert the linear mechanical power into spinning mechanical power.

A generator converts mechanical power into electrical power by pushing a wire crosswise through a magnetic field.

Answer 3

Mechanical Energy can be converted into electrical energy.
Take a Hydroelectric powerplant for example. The mecahnical energy coming from a raging river is used to turn the turbines which converts the energy into electrical energy by using generators.

One cannot create energy. We simply use one form of energy and convert it into the form that we need. Look up the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Answer 4

Yes it can. Generator is the most common device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy.

Answer 5

Certainly. Every central station power plant on earth does exactly that. The necessary device is called a "generator". Mechanical energy, usually derived from heat energy, spins a coil of wire in a magnetic field and thus elecricity is produced.

Answer 6

yes, mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy.

Answer 7

pedaling a bike and using that energy to power a headlight is converting mechanical to electrical.

Answer 8

Example DYNAMO. During the functioning of dynamo, the armeture is rotated in a magnetic field. When the magnetic field is interfered with the armeture, elector magnetic current is developed in the armeture. This produced electric current is utilised in proper devices for which the electricity is produced.

Answer 9

Energy is generated when a magnet spins in an electric coil. Wind, steam, water, can spin the shaft the magnet is on.

Answer 10

yeah. haven't you seen that battery-less flashlight commercial on TV? a strong magnet has to pass thru the middle of a long coiled metal (copper, i think) wire to create a charge. it's called Faraday's Principle of Induction. if this is built on every teenage boys' hand, we would have electric power for eons.
