1
New cards

Fossil fuels

Chemical energy (heating) → thermal energy (steam), spins turbine blades, spins generator

2
New cards

Nuclear

Uranium nuclear fission → thermal energy → boil water making steam → drives a generator turbine

3
New cards

Wind

Kinetic energy transfers from wind to turbine blades, spins generator

4
New cards

Hydroelectric

Water at height has gravitational potential energy → transfers to kinetic, spins turbines

5
New cards

Wave power

Kinetic energy of waves → floating pistons → turbine spin

6
New cards

Biomass

Burnt chemical energy makes steam spins turbines
