Sentences with phrase «into mechanical energy»

The steam is converted into mechanical energy in a turbine, which powers a generator to produce electricity.

This causes the muscle fiber to change chemical energy into mechanical energy, resulting in contraction of the fiber.

The next year, he put the device inside a model car to demonstrate its conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy.

However, this light energy is not totally dissipated: it is turned into mechanical energy through the twisting of the polymer chains, and stored in the gel.

A prime mover turns a fuel into the mechanical energy used to drive a product; changing prime movers does close to zero to solve the problem.

It converts electricity into mechanical energy.

For example, we can use biomass as a backup power source for mechanical energy production, something pre-industrial millers could not do — before the arrival of the steam engine, there was no way of converting biomass into mechanical energy.

In both cases, an electric motor, which converts current into mechanical energy, briefly reverses its function to become a generator, converting mechanical energy into current.
