Is it possible to produce electric power by electronic means?
Answer:
Photovoltaics is your answer. Electricity produced from the interaction of photons with a semiconductor. ie solar panels.
You could run a turbine on electricity to produce an electrical current...
mechanical or chemical are the only ways I know of to produce electricity
Well, you could use an electrical turbine to produce electrical energy yeah, but it would just be redundant. You'd end up losing energy.
Of course,unfortunately,as my physics teacher said"nothing is for nothing".Ultimately the energy used to generate would equal that produced.
All electricity generating projects do involve the use of electronics but not electricity as fuel.
you can produce electricity from anything that moves but you would use more electricity than you create or else we would do it all the time
You are describing what is commonly known as a 'perpetual motion machine'. They all violate a fundamental law of physics, the conservation of energy. It is never created, only converted from one form to another. Some energy always turns into heat and is scattered throughout the universe.
Yes, but you get less out than you put in.
Motor - generator set
Transformer
Pump water up a hill and then let it fall back through turbines.
Are a few examples.
Solar cells/photovoltaics
An Inverter will convert DC ( Direct current) to AC(Alternating Current) by means of electronics as opposed to an alternator which generates AC from an external mechanical source ie turbine or diesel engine or electric motor.
There would however be losses due to efficiency and conversion factors.
I suppose the resultant power is produced by electronic means but with external help.
