why we cannot produce electricity by trapping heat frm d volcanoes...?

Question

we produce electricity by trapping heat energy from earth..den y we cannot produce electricity by trapping heat energy frm volcanoes....?

Answer 1

That seems a good idea. we have to regulate the heat from Volcano in such a way that heat or steam reaches the site of the power generators It should be ensured that toxic gases are not transmitted in the pipelines or the conveying system for safety of the generator site. The volcano should be kept active to ensure uninterupted power supply

Answer 2

This would be possible but highly unpractical since volcano eruptions cannot be predicted with great enough accuracy and when they do erupt they release all of there power in a relatively quick short burst so they are not an ideal power source. There is however something called geothermal energy which is based on using the heat contained within the earth as a power source and is in effect in quite a few countries one of them being Philipenes which accounts for 27% of the worlds total geothermal energy production (the highest). Ireland is also believed to have a good geological location for geothermal power.

Answer 3

I don't know why I am about to attempt to answer this but here it goes. As far as I know, electricity is conducted from heat Via steam. If you did some how make steam from a massive volcano, it would have to then turn a MASSIVE turbine, and I'm talking seriously massive for something like a volcano, and it then would be sent through hundreds of miles of cabling to a substation that would then have to distribute this power from a remote location such as a volcano. Now, seeing as how more developed countries do not have many active volcanoes, in the least active to take on such a massive endeavor, the less developed countries that WOULD have such volcanoes simply would not be able to fund such a simply massive project, if it were in fact possible. By the way I'm 13 so I could just be stupid and not know what I'm talking about soooo...

Answer 4

It is possible but is a very risky investment for any country. That is because the amount of heat energy coming out is immense and way larger than geothermal plants or for that matter anything else. There is the risk of failure of systems, melting of equipment, life of the workers and also the risk of sudden eruption of the volcano, since electricity can only be produced using an active one. It is certainly possible but is too heavy a risk for a country to invest on.

Answer 5

It is difficult to trap energy from volcanoes. We have no technology at present.

Answer 6

we do. geothermal power. human beings see those as distinctive to volcanoes inspite of the incontrovertible fact that they are somewhat an identical (form of). they won't style a classic 'cone' shaped mountain yet they nevertheless are and do an identical issues. yellowstone nationwide park in u.s. is undemanding for its geisers, iceland for its warm springs. those are 2 of the biggest volcanoes in the worldwide (somewhat yellowstone is larger then each and every of the mountain volcanoes prepare). below those are extensive magma shafts stretching down the to earths mantle. those furnish vast warmth and power. the technological information of generating practicable power from that's oftentimes complicated yet in addition efficient. often from warmth and not from rigidity. to apply the rigidity we would could launch and take care of that rigidity and it may be exceptionally volatile. just to permit you be attentive to how plenty power we are talking with regard to here. sumbawa island in indonesia has a volcanoe referred to as tambora. this erupted in 1815. it grow to be the biggest volcanic eruption in 10000 years and produced an identical power as sixty thousand hiroshima bombs (one hundred fifty cases the size of mount st helens). it killed thousands of thousands with its blast and ensuing tsnuamis. this somewhat led to england (the different factor of the worldwide) to have frost all twelve months around and the skies have been blackened from ash all twelve months around. now if yellowstone suffered an identical destiny it may be over 3,500 cases larger and could definately result interior the extinction of the worldwide as all of us be attentive to it. if we could harness even the slightest of that ability (ie a million% for 1year) we would have sufficient power to run the full of north and south u.s. for 2 many years! apparently sufficient yellowstone does errupt (on a huge scale) somewhat often. each and every six hundred,000 years. the final time it blew? 630,000 years in the past.... seems we are all a splash late!

Answer 7

some countries produce electricity from volcano. eg: ireland

Answer 8

could you imagine that!?



in theory it is possible but literally it's impossible.

can u imagine a giant dome resting on a volcano??

Answer 9

It may not be Commercially viable. But scientists must be thinking of that too ! Good Q.

Answer 10

the answer is yes

but that requires great technical know how and large capital to invest

Answer 11

good question but there is no device which withstands a high temperature up to 6000 c when it explodes
