How do you generate electricity using coal - animated video

[@a-a-ron4679]

This should be shown in schools and it should be taught that solar and wind cannot even compare to coal fired power plants. This should be marveled.

[@AdhamOhm]

I drive by a power plant every day on my way to work, and it's amazing to know all this goes on inside that building. I always assumed since I was a kid that the conveyors simply fed the coal straight into the boilers, but I guess that method would get far less electricity and far more pollution out it.

nice upload! I was intrigued on how coal steam works after a friend who works on a coal plant explained some of the process. and this video helped clarify what he was explaining :).

[@tomlivanos5130]

I agree with all the other comments stating that this is a useful video. On my end, I am starting to learn about electricity generation and electricity distribution. I will learn about other (i.e. non-electricity) forms of energy as well. This video was a useful one. Thank-you.

[@SuperNhodge]

@@ironequipment92 HA! that makes it magically disappear, obviously not a problem after that...

I'm not sure what you are saying. Drywall is also bad now? Where does it stop?

[@deezynar]

A power plant converts one form of power, like coal's chemical power, into moving the electricity that's ALWAYS in wires. Also, in alternating current systems such as this, the electricity in the wire never moves more than a tiny fraction of an inch. It moves a bit one way, then it moves back to its starting point, 60 full cycles a second in the US. That tiny movement however is enough to transmit a lot of power. Therefore, you don't "make" electricity. You use it to transmit power.

[@hyderimani1]

excess electricity generated from coal can be used to pump water for irrigation, which in turn will grow trees , which in turn will make wood, from which wood gas and bio-char can be produced.

[@BabarAmeenKhan]

The Best video ever seen on you tube, 6 persons who disliked, are really stupid, dont know about the purpose to make this video Thanks for Downloader

[@zackis480]

i always wondered how they used coal to make power. very cool vid to show how its done. i do believe we should have more coal plants and start shutting down nuklear power plants. i say yes to coal plants. Thumbs up here.

[@CTD121]

Go to about 3 mins into the video. the narrator explains that the steam is sent back to the "furnace" and reheated. It also said "steam enters the first in a series of turbines..." or something like that. Yes, it is a waste of energy to just cool down water without reusing it. This is why they don't.

[@GinaOlivia-zj4zl]

Can I know what is meant by First Energy

[@Saluki388]

@MiKExAUS I think you are confusing two different water systems. The water being sent out to be cooled is not the water put into the boiler. It is sent from the cooling tower through pipes in the condenser that the steam simply flows around to condense the steam back to water. The steam that has condensed flows directly from the condenser through a series of heaters and back to the boiler.

[@creektilghman9187]

I think you can see how to make it on Avasva . This is just an advice ;)

[@edpvideo]

What happens to the coal in the boiler? It has to produce some kind of ash.

[@Saluki388]

Like "mdadnan" said the steam is sent back to the furnace. After the first series of the turbine (High Pressure section) it is reheated in the boiler and gains heat but no pressure and moves to the intermediate pressure stage of the turbine. The steam has to be cooled so it can be pumped into the boiler again as water. Also to help efficiency steam is extracted from different locations of the turbine and sent to heaters to warm the water going into the boiler before it gets to the actual fire.

[@ninthsinner]

Gr8 info and video 👍 thank you

[@edpvideo]

Awesome. Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@jayantpatilfilms]

very good information

[@vlasktom]

When I hauled ash here in Indiana, it was seperated into several grades. Fly Ash (very light and very dry) Filter Cake (not so light. slightly wet) Pozitec (sp?) (Very wet. Dense) Ponded Ash (Ash mixed with water from a pond) Are all these the same thing?

[@AP3Brain]

Good informative video. I like how they are trying to cut down how much electricity generation is bad for the environment.

[@thinkingthingsthru]

He is referring to superheated steam at about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. They need it superheated so that it doesn't condense until it has exits the turbine which has many different stages. This makes the steam turbines very efficient and cuts fuel costs. These huge turbines and central power stations are very efficient and make power affordable and reliable to everyone, not just the people who can afford a Tesla Car(lol). It the steam condenses to water and hit the blading, not good.

[@maness2112]

Condensing the steam after the turbine reduces back pressure on the turbine to below atmosphere. This helps efficiency by extracting all the energy left in the exhaust steam.

Depends on what FORM of solar energy we're talking about...I've heard that a parabolic mirror and a stirling hot air engine can produce quite a bit

[@krazyknowles]

I have a question why dont they re-use steam (from turbines) and heat that up in the boiler again to a higher temperature, dont you think it is waste of energy to cool down water and then re-use it?

One thing: The heat energy in the steam comes from the chemical energy in the coal. It is not generated as energy can only be created by annihilating matter.

[@nuurgedi]

This is really helpful for all !

[@theyoungster2]

It's definitely more complex and advanced than windmills and solar panels, but there's one problem. Eventually, someone's gonna run out of coal.

[@JashanpreetMr]

Very Nice and helpfull..

[@martinjuulandersen9694]

Why do they have to cool the steam/ water, seems like a waste of energy. Is it because of the expansion via heating thus pressure or?

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

So what's the purpose of buying an electric car (to go green) if you use coal to make the electricity?

[@edpvideo]

Because of the emissions of all the cars on the road dwarf the pollution of the coal fueled power plants. If everyone drove an EV it would be a massive reduction in emissions even with their power being supplied by coal fueled plants.

[@sizwentimane1529]

that a very interesting question, have you ever asked yourself, how is it that we are always breathing n never satisfied or get tired of it?

I believe because water in liquid form has more surface area and can take up more heat, vs steam but that's a pure guess.

edpvideo can u please tell me how did u make this video? I want to make a similar video I will be very thankful if u tell me in detail

[@DrBuzz0]

That doesn't matter. Even if you have a regenerative system you still need to cool the condensor. It's basic thermodynamics. No heat engine is 100% effecient and they all need to be cooled to produce energy. If there are no cooling towers than that means the plant is being cooled by water in a nearby river or other body of water. you can't just "reuse" the steam. It does not work that way. Without a condenser there is no pressure differential.

[@Jemalacane0]

You can, in the Winter at least. It can be used to heat buildings in what is called a combined heat and power system. It's better to do this with natural gas than coal though.

[@joesophie90]

Can anyone answer this: If you had a cable that was long enough to go all the way round the world connected to a light bulb and at the other end a plug, how long would it take for the light bulb to light up or be powered once the plug at the other side of the world was plugged in? Seriously, I would like to know! :)

[@michaelcaplan1589]

electron movement propagates at the speed of light. So divide the circumference of the Earth (in meters) (40075000 m) by the speed of light (300000000 m/s) to get your answer.

[@sulatt4240]

I would like to know the location of this coal plant?

[@thinkingthingsthru]

One of the major things that makes this country great is the availability of cheap, reliable energy which coal, nuclear and NG give us. Renewables gives us none of this Most of the chaep energy plants which still exist were built prior to 1985 and we are living off those today. As these close the poor and middle class will pay much more for energy. Renewable are a tremendous waste of resources because they can't produce power on demand and their capital installation costs are enormous.

[@SleepymanDan]

Some cooling is required by the second law of Thermo, as DrBuzz0 stated above. Still, there is some available energy in the steam after the turbine. However, without the condensor, there is no vacuum created and the gas doesn't move through the turbine as well as it should. Trying to do too much with the steam coming out of the turbine can be likened to a turbocharger in a car. Even though you are using the remaining energy to get more power, you actually end up with lower gas mileage.

[@jimmiewood4071]

I have never worked in one that clean!! Lol

[@edpvideo]

I have to admit, the first time I toured a plant to research one of these animations I was amazed at how relatively clean it was and how few people it took to run it.

[@FrarmerFrank]

Catalyst converters like the one in the Coal Plant filtration system converting Nitous Oxide use chemical Electrolisis to spit up or combine molcules A Co to co2 catalyst converter would leectro-chemically force the extra Oxygen Molocule on the Very stable Carbon monoxide Molocule that results from inperfect combustion ("Perfect Combustion" makes heat and force only)

Follower is off set. 3. It creates energy. You can view design and prototype at mechanicalresearch.info
