Man’s greatest innovations is the discovery of electrical power. Where it not for this source of energy we would not have achieved the technology that we now have today. One of the most abundant sources of energy are fossil fuels as it exists in most areas around the globe. More recently nuclear energy, vapour, and wind have been used as a source of power. Time to now examine other ways of producing electricity.

One system that’s used to generate electricity is a huge turbine. These require turning to produce power and there are many of ways that this can be achieved.

The vapour made by burning fossil fuels is enough to turn the turbines that will make electricity. This is achieved by using huge furnaces that heat large amounts of water thereby giving off vapour in the form of steam. Naturally the water is heated by the burning of either coal,gas or petroleum. The quantity of pollution that this causes is harmful to the environment as large quantities of carbon dioxide is released in to the atmosphere.

Water is another resource used to drive the energy producing turbines. Natural water resources are formed and chanelled in to what’s known as a dam. This cachement of water has the intensity to then flow over and move the turbine’s blades that generates the electricity. A far more eco friendly system because there are no discharges of toxic
substances into the air. However, it does adversely damage the ecosystem within the water.

This way of using water generates 90% of the electricity throughout the world that’s made from using renewable resources.

Another viable system to produce electricity using a renewable resource is wind. It is not necessary to have a large wind farm in order to exploit wind power, because enthusiasts are starting their own diy projects to make home power by using wind power which reduces not only electricity bills but lessens pollution in the environment too. This step by step home diy project copies the same method of harnessing wind power to produce electricity with a wind generator.

Some are even portable enough to enable cell phones to be charged..

Nuclear fission also helps to make electricity. This happens when uranium nucei are split into atoms using neutrons. Power is produced by the heat given off from this method which turns the water to vapour that drives the turbines.

Energy can also be produced from bio-gas. In some rural countries such as Bihar in India a new system using human waste is advanced to generate electricity.
