Title: ELECTRICITY AT LARGE SCALE
Course: THE MIST€RY OF ELECTRICITY.I > Section: 4. ELECTRICITY AT HOME

In precedent texts we have learnt about electricity production discovery. In the following paragraphs and video you should discover how to produce electricity in a industrial way, in order to satisfy actual people needs in this field.

We already know that electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, heating, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electrical current. But where and how is electricity produced at large scale?

A power station (also referred as a generating station, power plant, powerhouse or generating plant) is an industrial facility for the generation of large amounts of electrical energy.  At the center of nearly all power stations is a generator, a rotating machine that converts mechanical energy (movement) into electrical power by creating relative movement between a magnetic field and a conductor.
