Energy and Power

a device that converts the energy of the sun into electricity

A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell, converts sunlight directly into electricity.

a type of energy generated by splitting atoms to release their stored energy

Nuclear power plants generate electricity by harnessing the energy released from splitting atoms.

the energy produced from heat sources, often used to generate electricity

device used to convert the kinetic energy of flowing water into mechanical energy, which is then used to generate electricity

The hydroelectric turbine harnesses the power of water flowing downstream to generate renewable electricity.

a renewable source that harnesses heat from beneath the Earth's surface for electricity or heating

The geothermal energy plant uses steam from underground reservoirs to generate electricity.

a clean and powerful energy that is obtained by splitting atoms, which then can be used to produce heat, electricity, etc.

a large building in which electricity is made

The massive hydroelectric power plant harnessed the power of the rushing river to generate clean electricity.

a facility that generates electricity on a large scale

The coal-fired power station supplies electricity to the entire city.

energy that is generated from the force of running water

a machine that produces electricity by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy

The hydroelectric generator harnesses the power of flowing water to produce electricity for nearby communities.

a metal pot for stewing or boiling; usually has a lid

a large machine or structure used for producing nuclear energy

The nuclear reactor generates electricity by harnessing the energy from nuclear fission.

a device that converts direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC)

The solar panels generate DC electricity, which is then converted to AC power by the inverter for use in the home.

displaying a lack of refinement or taste, often involving inappropriate content

The comedian's crude jokes about sensitive topics offended several audience members.

a huge wall built to keep water from entering an area or to contain and use it as a power source to produce electricity

The dam controls the river’s water level.

a device that converts fuel directly into electricity through a chemical reaction

Fuel cells are used to power electric vehicles by converting hydrogen gas into electricity to drive the motor.

a large facility used for drilling oil or gas from underground or under the sea

The oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico extracts crude oil from deep beneath the seabed.

a drilled hole or structure used to extract petroleum (crude oil) or natural gas from underground reservoirs

The oil well in Texas is one of the oldest in the United States, still producing significant amounts of crude oil.
