In a micro CHP a fuel source such as natural gas is used to generate electricity, and the excess heat from that operation is used to heat a home and in some cases water as well. The efficiency of converting fuel to useful energy may be as high as 90 percent.
Electricity is typically generated by rotating a wire coil through a fixed magnetic field, using the kinetic energy to induce a current in the wire. Any source of mechanical energy can be used to spin a generator or alternator.ome people can check on how their electricity is being generated by using a magnet on their conductor. While electricity can also be safely generated by placing two unique co â¦ nductors into water that is salty or simply by just touching two unique conductors together and a sparkling light will then appear.
