ENERGY, Nuclear plants - Coggle Diagram

- - - - ·It can be easily transformed into other forms of energy, such as light and heat
      - • It can be transported long distances inexpensively and with very little energy being lost
  - - - ·The turbine converts mechanical energy into the rotating movement of a shaft
      - • An alternator has a fixed part, called a stator, and a moving part,called a rotor, connected to the turbine shaft
  - - - At this type of power plant, water is heated in a boiler by the heat generated from the combustion of a fossil fuel, usually natural gas or coal. The steam that's generated moves the turbine connected to the generator
    - - This type of power plant uses the potential energy provided by the height of the stored water in a dam, converting it into kinetic energy. This energy moves the blades of the turbine.
