It produces electricity through a chemical reaction, usually by combining hydrogen and oxygen to make water and power. Most fuel cells are powered by natural gas, but fuels from methanol to straight hydrogen can be used. The turbine and microturbine. These are smaller versions of the large turbines that power giant electric power plants. In microturbines, the turbines are also crossed with turbocharged technology from cars and jets.
Air is heated, compressed, and forced through the turbine.
The hot air expands and forces the turbine to turn, and that action produces electricity. It's fairly basic. Winds as low as 5 mph make a propeller spin, which turns a turbine generator that produces electricity. It's coupled with a battery to store power when there is no wind. It uses photovoltaic cells to get energy from the sun and stores it in batteries.
