Along with the wheel,
electrical energy is probably one of the greatest discoveries made by man. You
can produce electrical energy using fossil fuels, water, wind or nuclear
fission. This article will give you an idea on how many ways can be used to
create electricity. Electricity can be created by huge turbines. These turbines
need to be moved in order to produce energy.
One way in which to move those turbines is to burn fossil fuels. When the
turbine’s blades are moved, they will generate vapor. The vapor is generated by
heating water using big furnaces. The water is heated burning the fossil fuels:
petroleum, coal, natural gas. In this way the in the air there will be huge
amounts of CO2 released, and this means pollution for the atmosphere. This is
why it is highly important that the methods of producing electricity.
Using water: one can create dams in
order to harness the electricity. One popular method to produce electricity is
to create dams to restrict the water and use the water to move the turbines.
This type of energy will allow us to regulate the air pollution. But the
downfall is the changes in the ecosystem as many rivers are being damaged. Of
all the renewable energies on the planet, water accounts for almost 90%.
Using wind: wind can be easily
converted into energy using wind mills or some wind turbines. In the last few
years people have started to work on portable phone chargers that use solar
power.
Using nuclear fission: nuclear
fission can be used to produce atomic bombs but also energy. The nuclear
fission will produce some chain reactions using uranium. This uranium is
bombarded by neutrons and this causes it to split and create heat. This heat is
used to create vapor and to move the turbines that will ultimately produce
energy.
Using bio-waste: the latest
technological advancements allow us to produce energy. Bio-gas is mostly used
in rural areas in countries like India. They also have the
technology that allows them to even use human waste and vegetable waste to
generate energy.
