Generation of Electricity
Geothermal power is one of the most useful energy sources ever been discovered. Energy from the interior
of the earth usually near a volcano is captured through simple steps. First, cold water is pumped into the
geothermal reservoir causing hot fluids and steam to come up. This vapor will run turbines through
mechanical energy. The rotation of the turbine spins magnets in the generator, is increased in the
transformer and sent over power lines to homes, buildings and industries.
