How do you harness electricity?

I am looking for a detailed answer on how to harness electricity.

The basic concept is you spin something, usually a turbine or something to that extent, and that somehow becomes electricity. There is a gap in my knowledge and I’m trying to figure out how it goes from spinning to electricity.

If you can give me a link to a website that explains this you would be very helpful.

Solar Powered Air Conditioner?

Is it possible to take a one room air conditioner and make it solar powered? How can I go about doing this?

Philippine senates/congress should start thinking on how to optimise natural energy?

Philippines has lot of alternative energies as compared to other countries. Why not optimise the use of wind , wave, geothermal of the country.

Why do the Democrats support foreign oil companies over domestic oil companies?

The new energy bill proposal by the Democrats give foreign oil companies an unfair advantage over domestic oil companies. It just appears to make sense that if we used our own domestic oil and gas resources it would reduce our dependency on foreign producers. Why do the Democrats oppose that?
Wind and solar energy are great for the future but right now, we use oil and gas.

how does an electrical generator work, what are it’s components & what’s a good site for illustrations

what are the similarities and differences between hydroelectric,nuclear powerplants and are there any other types fo powerplants.

WHAT ELSE COULD BE USED INSTEAD OF GENERATORS TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY?

Where online can I buy a solar power panel that can charge up a simple car battery to full charge?

I am building a sun-power generator for a remote encampment/retreat!

I need to know anything ya’ll know about maintaining and holding length of charge in a simple car battery.

The idea is to drive as far as possible then take the battery out of the car and bring it with us to use an inverter to have house-hold power in the wilderness.

what are the components needed in order to make both: a solar-panel and the system to apply it to daily use?

I heard on an add (trying to be VERY persuasive for me to get the guide) that building solar panels, wind generators and the system to put them to use, is easy and much cheaper than getting the set and it implemented by specialist, but the guide cost $50 so i cant be bothered, but i would still be interested in learning more about it for free! So anyone got the know how?

Is there such thing as a portable, pocket sized, battery powered 120v outlet?

I’m going away on a trip and I really need one of these if they exist. I’m not looking for a generator… I mean something that is small and portable and preferably powered by batteries.
this is to charge my cell phone. im going to be camping and that means no outlets or generators or anything electrical for miles

How will we charge electric car?

The new electric cars like Chevy Volt.
If I take a real long trip in it, how would I charge it should it run flat half way through my trip?

What is the difference between “thermic solar energy” and “electric solar energy”?

What is the difference between “thermic solar energy” and “electric solar energy“?

thankyou

Which statement about renewable energy sources provides an advantage to both the economy and the environment?

A. When a hydoelectric dam is built, thousands of acres of nearby land are flooded.
B. The production of solar energy does not pollute the air and will require the manufacture and installation of new equipment.
C. Biomass is readily available and can produce emissions similar to that of coal.
D. Landfills are ofter owned and operated by business people who sell the methane to utility companies.

What is the most used alternative energy source?

im doing a project on alternative energy sources and i need to know if solar energy is the most used

how can i convert hot water into energy?

live in a tropical. thinking about installing a method to convert solar energy into electricity indirectly, via solar water heater ==> energy.
any idea??
ps: the hot water here is only up to 90degree centigrade but almost constant.
90 degree is not enough for turbine generator right?
i tried not to add any heat on it.

how can i make a electricity generating machine for home without using electricity or heat or wind ?

i want to make a machine that can produce electricity for home. i want to make it without using heat electricity wind. so if anybody can help me then please………..

Does anyone know where I can get a free boat to Convert to a solar powered boat?

Preferably Something bigger than a tinnie as it is supposed to be a commercial prototype. Have to make the prototype before I can get funding.

Can a condo or apartment dweller take advantage of any solar devices for home energy useage?

I live in a condo and would love to hear your thoughts about this. Being interested in cutting my power bill and using green energy is great, but how can I take advantage of that living in a condo?
I should add that I have a good sized porch I could take advantage of.

Can solar power items work with a lightbulb rather than the sun?

I know solar power needs sunlight to work but can you use lightbulb light?

What inventors like Nikola Tesla have made generators that were repressed?

Nikola Tesla and other inventors have made efficiant generators that would and could help abolish use of fossil fuels to power the world. Can anyone tell me of other inventors and their generators who the government and/or other companies have surpressed from becoming an asset to the economy and enviroment?

whats the pros and cons for a family of 5 making the new home solar power?

we are looking at solar power for our new land, are you a family of 5? have you done this before, thanks.

Where can I buy a portable solar panels for my home in the Philippines?

With the power crisis looming in, I think it’s better to have a solar panel than buy a portable generator which eats up petrol. Philippines must have the costliest fuel per liter in Asia. Problem is, solar panels can’t be bought as easily as generators.

How can you make an electric generator?

I own 5 acres of property. Other then my gas generator, I don’t have electricity on it. I have a travel trailer on it with an electric fridge and I love camping there. In Home Depot, I have seen a converter that you hook up to your car battery and I have also seen what appears to be an electric generator. I asked someone at Home Depot how long the “electric generator” would run a small fridge. He told me it wouldn’t be a long time, but suggested using a marine battery with a converer. I am thinking I could purchase several batteries, a converter and a battery charger. Does that sound like somethink that might work?
I do have a 5000 watt gas generator on my property. I just don’t want to have to run it all the time if I am camping for several days or a week at a time. We all know the prices of gas these days.

Could someone give me an estimate on how much it would cost and buy and have installed a stand alone energy sy?

Both Solar and Wind power. How much would it cost to buy and have someone install a complete system into a cabin in a remote area in the mountains in colorado

Is centralized power generation for profit better than the decentralized alternatives that are coming on line?

Remember when your community owned the gas and electric companies? Here in the front range of Colorado it was called the Public Service Company… now it’s Excel Enery.

Public Service Company got taken down because they built a nuclear gererator and it almost blew up! So they had to sell out to Wall Street or go bankrupt…

WHAT IF POWER AND WATER UTILITIES WENT BACK TO BEING TRUELY PUBLICLY OWNED AND NON-PROFIT ?

power produce in india is multipile of 11 why?

stand alone power plant at the individual house owner level?

has ne one ever thought abt or seen a stand alone affordable power generation unit cheaper than normal power supply on running costs(even if higher one time costs) ..I am in india..but ne info is welcome.My idea is abt an INDIVIDUAL HOUSE OWNER NEEDS
well i didnt get ne way near the answer i was looking for guys..but thanx ne ways to all u who replied

well and lemme add i have actually found a solution to my needs ..mail me at atul292@gmail.com if u need details

this ones actually a combo of a few technologies

electric power cars?

do they exist? if so, what are they about? do they sub. for gas? and what cars were invented that use electricity?

Electric cars?

Why is it so expensive to convert a car to electric? Is it the battery cost. Is it better to use a ac or dc .

what are the pros and cons of: Hydroelectric power, solar energy, tidal/wave energy and wind power?

I just need the basic faults and advantages to these renewable energy sources.
Thank you.

the government’s efforts to build multiple nuclear plants in the country?

The demand for power in India has been constantly growing. However, power generation has not kept pace with demand, leading to frequent power cuts in several parts of India. Against this backdrop, assess the government’s efforts to build multiple nuclear plants in the country. What are the pros and cons of nuclear power? Considering that countries like the US have not constructed new nuclear power plants in the last few decades due to the high costs involved and other reasons, how does one justify the Indian government’s plans? Support your argument with facts and figures.

Should windfall oil profits be taxed and used to fund alternative energy?

The technology already exists to make cars from composite material (thread and nylon laminate) which is stronger than steel but weighs 1/4 less than steel.

Horizontal wind generators and /or solar cells on everyone’s rooftop will charge batteries in our garages.

Our hybrid gas/electric cars would recharge for free overnight
and gas consumption could easily drop by 75% for most city commuters. Many would never use the gas part of their hybrid at all.

The technology already exists. All we need is a democrat in office who will implement a real national energy policy instead of a “By the oil corp, for the oil corp” policy that the GOP insists on forcing on us.

My husband and I want to live alternative?

My husband and I are in our late 20’s have a little boy and we are already pretty alternative people. Our son has a disorder”not physical disability” that requires both my husband and I at home with him and not able to work so we have decided that since we have to live so extreme so we can take the best care of our son maybe we should just live a little out there when in comes to our lifestyle and living arrangement. We own our home outright and we have put it up for sale and we are trying to decide what kind of alternative living arrangement we want to go for. We have thought about buying a huge RV and just traveling around or maybe a cabin somewhere. We want to have about 50,000 to put aside and use the rest to finance what ever we buy. We don’t want to leave the US due to having a child and wanting to stick with access to United States Health care but other then that we are open to any and all crazy ideas because we want to take this chance to really live in an adventurous way for the next few years before our son starts school. So far we have only thought of the RV idea but maybe there are some cool yurt villages or hippie communities or I don’t know but there has to be some really cool place out there to live off the grid or just really alternative or maybe some tree house village lol like I said any ideas are great….

Thanks
Ok just to keep the ideas open feel free to include ideas outside of the US

how much is the cheaper electricity generator ?

is it possible to have a solar generator to the cellular phone ?

and to the notebook ?

what s scheme ?

how long to charge ? adapter ? how to use it etc ? thanks

What do you think Julia Gillards biggest class war biogotry worst hypocrisy is?

I have heart disease. My electric bill subsidises rich folks generating solar power yet I cannot afford to switch on the hot water heater? Why can’t I get a free solar electricity generator and solar hot water heater? It’s irrational bigotry Labor even dream they’re not fighting either a class war nor have environment credentials?

Surely at least solar energize housing commission homes? Why is Labor so pro rich elitest ideals I dont even own a Prada shoe to even loose at a racism riot I create?

Why is Labor so barking mad devoid of their ideals? Money?

Can I find work in the United States of America note that I holds a master’s degree in solar en?

My question is
Can I find work in the United States of America note that I holds a master’s degree in solar energy from King Saud University in Saudi Arabia?

DV2014
Is it easy to get a job as a researcher for example.
What is the best university to complete a doctorate in the same field?
What is the most safest State?

who here is in the solar energy, PV, field and lives in the US?

Im interested in talking about the solar energy PV market in the US.
I am looking for manufacturers, site planners, retailer, etc.
heres the question;
In what year will US citizens invest in solar modules as a source of income? what year will the cost of the modules become affordable and profitable?

Does the cost of taking action on Climate-Change outweigh the cost of not taking action?

Or do you think positive actions will actually improve our economy by massively reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and reaping the benefits of home-grown jobs in renewable energy production?
Even if Climate-Change is not a massive disaster wouldn’t cleaning up the atmosphere create jobs and improve the economy, plus really put OPEC in their place which we have been itching to do for years?

Why has the price of solar energy remained generally prohibitive?

Is this Logical proof of God? Please read ALL, If you don’t agree with the premise push through?

Please point out logical flaws!

Let’s pose the following, very scientific question, and make simple observations: What of that which is internal of any system in the observable universe has not come from an external source? For example: of everything internal of you, a rock, the world, the solar system, the galaxy, possibly the universe, what has not come from a source outside of itself? Inherently you came from your parents, the rock was formed in the world, the world with the solar system, the solar system in the universe, and the universe in? Physical quantities or existences need external sources to exist. Now, if the original Source cannot be found directly internal of any physical system in the known universe it must then by process of elimination be external, which all sources are, and non-physical. Well what of God, where did He (She… God transcends gender) come from?

God (the Source) by definition is outside of our range of physical observation as an external and non-physical or metaphysical being. However, the physical universe is observable, but, to induce, assume, and then apply the assumed physical properties to a metaphysical existence, unless those properties are made evident, is illogical. It’s the equivalent of claiming because we have sat in one chair we have sat in all chairs; or to say we can view the earth from space before the invention an actual vehicle in which to do so. This is not to say a means of observation cannot be created or to eliminate induction. Nor to say the Source is un-testable or its presence unobservable. It is simply to say properties in the natural physical universe cannot be applied directly to God unless God makes those properties evidently applicable. You ask, which God, or what about pink unicorns, flying spaghetti monsters, or orbital teapots, are they not just as feasible as God(s)?

Now we have to define God and dismiss any opposing illogical entities according to the former. If all things originated with the Source we would include all knowledge, authority, power, good, possibly evil, and quite literally everything. Ergo, we can conclude, God is all knowing and all powerful. We make this conclusion because power, knowledge, and authority go through a process of diffusion moving from states of higher concentration to lower concentration. That being understood we can conclude the Source is active and present throughout the universe as the pursuit of knowledge is active in nature. We can also conclude it is active and present as to supply power to all subsets. By that I mean; a building if not actively connected to a power grid is rendered inoperable (this is excluding backup generators however the same principle applies). This of course excludes the possibility of a self sustaining universe which according to our current knowledge of thermodynamics is improbable and technically impossible. (Side note: if the exclusion of particular governing principles (thermodynamics, Newtonian physics, quantum physics) or the addition of unobservable qualities/quantities (gravitons, dark matter, dark energy) are included in a model without objective, consistent mathematical proof the possibilities are infinite. This of course has its own logical fallacies.) Excluding those models as it would defy our understanding of the universe in its entirety we can in fact logically conclude the existence of a “Prime Source”. If God is ever-present and all powerful why doesn’t he stop evil? Furthermore, if everything came from God… did he create evil?
