E LECTRICAL GENERATION By: Casey Sherwood

M ACANICAL Mechanical energy is generated by wind turbines and water flow. aboutpicture

B IOMASS ( FOSSIL FLUES ) You can burn biomass(fossil flues) like coal, oil or natural gasses to release heat steam. aboutpicture

N ATURAL GASSES Burn these to release them into a turbine that is connected to a generator. aboutpicture

URANIUM You can split uranium atoms to release nuclear energy that is used to heat water to produce steam that turns a turbine. aboutpicture

P HOTOVOLTAIC ( PV ) You can use a photovoltaic (PV) cell to convert the sun’s energy directly into electricity. AboutPicture
