ElI5:how can someone make electricity out of Fire??
In: Physics
You would need a really big fire, like burning your house down big. When the firemen arrive, sneak into the fire engine and plug your device into the cigarette lighter. Electricity!
Another question : can you turn fire(flames) into electricity(lightning) ??
Fire burns stuff and in the process produces heat.
The heat can be used to do things like boil water.
Boiling water gets you steam, steam pushes a turbine and the turbine creates electricity.
Turbines work on the same principle as electro motors just in the opposite direction.
This is the basic principle of power plants that burn coal or oil or tother stuff to create electricity. In fact even nuclear power plants use this method, but instead of fire they use radioactive materials that get hot.
If you’re burning something, use that heat to boil water. This will form steam at a high pressure (given a fixed volume chamber). Use that high pressure steam to do some work, such as spinning a turbine. Use that spinning turbines to rotate a permanent magnet through a coil of wire, and that will induce an electrical current into the coil.
They can use the fire to boil water. And use the steam from the water to spin a turbine connected to a generator.
