Sentences with phrase «into electrical generators»

During braking, the traction motor connections are altered to turn them into electrical generators.

Not exact matches

The battery that supplies all electrical power is charged by little generators built into the rear wheels and the battery should rarely (if ever) need to be charged by external means.

Three tanks at the plant could rupture, leaking water into the plant, and a backup diesel generator and electrical switch gear were vulnerable to flooding in such an emergency.

The generator converts the mechanical energy generated by the blades into usable electrical power.

Since 2003, Discover has been reporting on a biofuel company that turned turkey guts, garbage and old tires into oil, which it sold to refineries for vehicle fuel or to electrical utilities to help power generators («Anything Into Oil,» May 20into oil, which it sold to refineries for vehicle fuel or to electrical utilities to help power generators («Anything Into Oil,» May 20Into Oil,» May 2003).
