Renewable Energy
-
Wind Energy
How does it work: The wind turns the turbine, turbine drives generator to generate electricity
Hydroelectric Energy
How does it work: The gate of the dam opens, water flows through, which turns the turbine
Tidal Energy
How does it work: Water flows into reservoir, gate closes, gate opens, water flows out of reservoir, turns turbine
Solar Energy
How does it work: Light energy from the sun is inputted into the solar panels, the solar panel transfers light energy into electrical energy
Geothermal Energy
How does it work: Water pumped down into hot rocks underground, steam comes up, steams turn turbine
Biomass
How does it work: Living or dying organism is burnt, releases heat, turns into biofuels
Renewable Energy
Nuclear energy
How does it work: Nuclear materials undergo reactions, large amount of heat is given out
Fossil Fuels
How does it work: Gas, coal or oil is burned in power stations
