Presentation transcript:

 At the traditional power station, fuel is burned to boil water. This water turns to steam, rising to turn a turbine.  The turbine is connected to a generator. The generator converts the movement of the turbine into electricity.

 What is the main material burnt in a power station to create steam? Hydrogen Hydrochloric Acid Coal

Evidently you failed, try again

 Through what process is the power generated? Turbines –> Rotors –> Electricity Electricity –> Turbines –> Rotors Rotors –> Turbines –> Electricity

You wanna try again? Maybe not fail… again?

 Nuclear Power video Nuclear Power video (don’t be dumb, maybe ya scroll down a little bit and ting…)  TAKE NOTES, YOU’LL BE AWESOMELY QUIZZED LATER… YES IT WILL BE AWESOME.

 As of July 2008, there were more than 430 operating nuclear power plants and, together, they provided about 15 % of the world's electricity in  Of these 31 countries, some depend more on nuclear power than others.  For instance, in France about 77 percent of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power Lithuania comes in second, with an impressive 65 percent.  In the United States, 104 nuclear power plants supply 20 percent of the electricity overall, with some states benefiting more than others.

 Instead of burning fossil fuels, at a nuclear power plant they… Use the generators to nuclearfy stuff Use nuclear reactions to heat the water Heat the water using turbines and rotors

Try again, says Lawrie.

 Which well-known television personality works in a nuclear power plant?

You wanna try again? Maybe not fail… again?

No, seriously…

 Today’s wind turbines have an electric generator in their housing.  The wind turns the blades to drive the generator and therefore create electricity.  Wind power is an example of a renewable and sustainable energy source. The wind will never run out and no carbon dioxide is generated

AdvantagesDisadvantages The wind is free and captured with modern technology it can be efficiently The strength of the wind is not constant and it varies from zero to storm force. Once the wind turbine is built the energy it produces does not cause green house gases or other pollutants. Wind turbines are noisy. Each one can generate the same level of noise as a family car travelling at 70 mph. Many people find wind farms an interesting feature of the landscape. When wind turbines are being manufactured some pollution is produced. Therefore wind power does produce some pollution. Wind turbines have a role to play in both the developed and third world. Large wind farms are needed to provide entire communities with enough electricity. For example, the largest single turbine available today can only provide enough electricity for 475 homes Remote areas that are not connected to the electricity power grid can use wind turbines to produce their own supply. Many people see large wind turbines as unsightly structures and not pleasant or interesting to look at. They disfigure the countryside and are generally ugly.

 Which of these is not a reason why some people dislike turbines? Turbines generate too much noise Turbines don’t generate enough power Turbines generate the wrong sort of electricity
