Question by wilbzion G: Would it be possible that a magnetic motor can be used as an alternative source of electricity?
Example is a 110 v light bulb can light with the use of magnetic motor? can it be applicable with cars too?

Best answer:

Answer by Fast Eddie
Yes, in principle you can use an electric motor to generate electrical energy. You need however mechanical energy to spin the motor.

Question by Chris: Direct Electricity from a fission power plant?
Instead of using a steam turbine to generate power in a nuclear reactor. Why not ionize the fission fuel, then the fission fragments that get spit out after a fission reaction could be turned directly into electrical energy at about 80% efficiency. I’ve heard that this would be the best way to extract energy from the proton-boron 11 fusion reaction, so why not try something like this for fission.

Best answer:

Answer by David D
Sounds wacky. The amount of electrical energy in the ionized fragments is minuscule compared to the energy released in the form of gamma rays and neutron recoil energy.

Question by MrProgramX: Which generates more electricity, coal or nuclear fission power plants?
I was playing a game called “Eco Tycoon Project Green”, and in the game the coal power plants put out twice as much power as the nuclear fission ones. That doesn’t seem right to me, but is it actually true?

Best answer:

Answer by billrussell42
per plant?

In the US, Nuclear plants are in the range of 200 MW to 1.2 GW
Coal plants range from 500 MW to 3.5 GW

Question by Chaos: How many nuclear power plants would need to be in the US to be the main source of electricity?
France gets almost 80% of its electricity from nuclear power plants but it is a small country, so how many power plants would the US need to get around 80-90% of its electricity from nuclear power.

Best answer:

Answer by Beep
Freshman year of college, I was big into the whole let’s-use-nuclear-power for everything. I did the research and wrote a big report on it.

Turns out here’s a bummer:
If we ran everything on nuclear power for the next 12 years, assuming 100% efficiency (which is beyond us) and use of some fuels which we can’t currently harness, we’ll still be out of nuclear fuel by the end of that period.

Like fossil fuels, nuclear fuels are stuff we pull out of the dirt. Once they’re used, they’re used, and that’s it for them.

Hypothetically, we can get fusion going at some point, like our sun does, but that technology isn’t what our current nuclear power plants run on today; that is also beyond us. However, it is a very likely choice for power generation at some point in the future (although probably not the immediate future).

This video can be downloaded here: www.ashdenawards.org Deng won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2007. To find out more visit the link above and check out the Ashden Awards Blog ashdenawards.blogspot.com Deng Ltd, an established engineering company in Accra, has developed a viable and sustainable business model for the provision of solar-home-systems to rural areas where access to grid electricity is limited. Deng has done this by venturing out of the capital and setting up a network of dealers to service the more remote areas. Deng has also set up a training centre for solar technicians in order to further expand the business and ensure the future sustainability of the scheme. The training centre, which has already trained 120 people from various sectors, is in itself a significant driver for growth of the solar PV market in Ghana. Whilst Deng does sell and install PV-powered grid backup systems around Accra, the mission and focus of Deng is in providing solar electricity to rural areas that do not have grid access. Since 1998 Deng has supplied 1000 fixed systems and 6000 solar lanterns to communities across Ghana.
