ElI5:how can someone make electricity out of Fire??

In: Physics

Answer 1

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.
