When electricity is generated, where do the electrons come from?

I know that in a generator powered by a steam, water, or wind turbine or whatever turns a magnet which is surrounded by a very long wire. The magnet pushes or accelerates the electrons in the wire to produce an electric current. I know that if these electrons aren’t being continuously replenished, then the wire […]

If I have solar panels for electricity, will I still have to be hooked up to the electric company?

In other words, is it possible to power all of my appliances and household equipment with electricity from solar panels? Or will I still have to do business with th electric company?

why is it important to conserve electricity?

why does replacing incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs conserve electricity?

What’s good about sonserving electricity?

I know it IS a good thing. Like…. if you conserved electricity what else would it help? So far, I have 2 reasons. I need 1 more please!! 1.You can save money 2.There will be less pollution (because some people get electricity from coal or nuclear power plants and stuff) 3. ??????

What battery is best for storing wind generated electricity?

I am wanting to have a wind turbine/wind mill for my home to supplement or replace the grid electricity I use. I see that the winds come and go. So I need to store some amount of the electricity that my wind mill makes. What is the best and safest battery I can use? What […]

wind turbines and electricity?

generating electricity with a wind turbine .please can you describe how a turning blade can be connected up to produce electricity. no silly answers please, all reasonable answers are welcomed.

solar energy as an alternative to electricity. need a reputable supplier.?

what is the difference between a 3-blade and a 2-blade wind turbine generating electricity?

how many countries are using nuclear energy to produce electricity?

if nuclear energy is inevitable in future for the wholw world, I want to know , at present how many countries are using neuclear power in the form electricity.

What are you doing to conserve electricity and gas?

i need info on maintenance of offshore wind turbines used for generating electricity?

specially on how they are serviced, do they use ships or helicopters to reach them and service them, and where can i find info on such vessels. also what is the most common problem with existing ones. i accept information as well as websites this is for my final project to graduate from college so […]

How can you conserve electricity, water, heat, and money?

How much mirror would I need to boil enough water to generate electricity?

I’m wondering what it would take to generate electricity with solar power but rather than use panels, I want to use mirrors to boil water and turn a turbine. Say I wanted to turn a typical car alternator/generator with steam. I set up mirrors that shoot light into a collector, boil the water, spin turbine, […]

Does a UPS (APC) still consume electricity when it is turned off, but plugged into the wall?

I have a APC UPS that is used for my entertainment electronics (TV, DirecTV, PS3, etc.). Before I got the APC I just had a surge protector and just turned the surge protector switch off when I left home (to conserve electricity). If I turn off the UPS (after turning off the electronics), will it […]

what is the best way to generate electricity from a parabolic mirror?

Hi everyone, For a summer project, I want to build an efficient solar powered generator. I want to use a parabolic mirror to collect the sun’s energy. Should I use the collected sunlight as heat differential to power a stirling engine? Or use the sunlight to boil water creating steam to power a steam engine. […]

What’s the most efficient way to make electricity from solar power on a large scale?

What’s the most efficient way to make electricity from solar power on a large scale? Is it using photovoltaic cells, or mirros and a turbine or what? I’d be interested in a web site that compares all the options by efficiency, cost, reliability in cloudy weather, and stuff like that.
