Step 3 to make electricity | Steam moves and turns the turbine (mechanical to mechanical) |
Step 4 to make electricity | The turbine then turns the generator producing electricity (mechanical to electromagnetic) |
Step 5 to make electricity | The power lines carry the electricity to houses (electromagnetic) |
Mechanical energy | energy connected to motion or moving objects |
