How synchronous generators work?
Synchronous generators are used in many types of power plants to convert mechanical energy of turbines in electrical energy.
Big run-of-river hydropower plants
In this post is shown the operation of big run-of-river hydropower plants. Dismissing necessity of a big reservoir.
Theoretical superconductor at high temperature
A superconductor based in hydrogen can theoretically work at 200ºC, but needs a very high pressure.
How the solar tower works?
The solar tower is another way to use sunlight as heat source to produce steam and spin a turbine. Can produce electricity even during night.
The white tariff system
Today is explained how the Brazilian white tariff system works. This is an alternative form to consumer pay electricity bill.
