Sentences with phrase «directly powers turbines»

Not exact matches

Attaching turbines directly to the craft would mean more generators and therefore more power.

Heated springs and geysers up to three miles underground can be accessed by special wells that bring the hot water (or steam from it) up to the surface where it can be used directly for heat or indirectly to generate electricity by powering rotating turbines.

The dry steam process brings steam up directly from below to drive turbines that power electricity generators.

The wind turbines on these wind farms connect directly into power grids and produce 5 percent of the electricity that that entire state uses.

Superchargers do not suffer this problem, because the turbine is eliminated due to the compressor being directly powered by the engine.

Don't get us wrong: both engines make for effortless, go - directly - to - jail fast machines, but what the hell — if you're spending $ 200K - plus, surely you want the W12 - powered Bentleys» turbine - like wooosh we've written about so often, do you not?

Image: Patrick Finnegan via flickr Boulder Wind Power has come up with a turbine design that it says can produce electricity at or below $ 0.04 per kilowatt - hour, allowing it to compete directly with fossil fuel - based pPower has come up with a turbine design that it says can produce electricity at or below $ 0.04 per kilowatt - hour, allowing it to compete directly with fossil fuel - based powerpower.

While standard solar panels convert sunlight directly into electricity, concentrated solar power plants focus an array of mirrors onto a solar receiver and use the resulting heat to drive an electricity - generating steam turbine.

Wind power is not quite the same as just wind speed, so we took the variables that are calculated directly by the global climate models and used an industry wind turbine power curve as something of a translation device.

The Crescent Dunes and Ivanpah Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants use mirrors to focus the sun's rays onto a heat exchanger at the top of a 600 - foot - tall tower during the day to heat a fluid that is used, either directly or indirectly, to produce steam to drive a turbine generator that produces electricity.

Micro wind turbines combined with residential charging stations can also offer some homeowners the potential to charge an EV directly from their own wind power (the WattStation also comes in a wall - mounted version suitable for new or existing homes).

The steam is piped directly from underground wells to the power plant Directed into a turbine / generator unit.

Since Madrigal was just interviewed for the latest edition of TreeHugger Radio (available on iTunes, or for your listening pleasure directly on the site here), I'll skip over the myriad examples of people dedicated to developing solar power, geothermal power, and wind turbines (a 1 MW one in Vermont back in 1945 even) long before environmentalism was even called by that name.

* Mechanical power, derived from the turbines, is applied directly through a speed increaser to an internal gearbox / generator, or to a hydraulic pump that in turn drives an on - shore hydraulic motor and generator * Requires no dams nor impoundments * Poses no threat to the environment, nor to water quality * Produces no by - products while in operation - clean and pollution free (no greenhouse gases) * Harmless to marine life and allows safe fish passage

Repeated studies around the world have shown that wind energy does not directly cause these harms [i]; while no form of electricity generation is free of adverse effects, wind power is relatively benign compared to coal, nuclear, heavy petroleum, major dams, etc. [ii] Nor has harm been proven in countries, such as Denmark and Germany, which have a dense network of turbines and a high level of wind energy generation.
