More like electricity creates heat
-
Energy creates heat and electricity is a form of energy.
-
yes, a peltier junction
-
Yes. Heat applied to water → create steam → steam moves → creates pressure → moves the blades of turbines → turbine creates electricity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine
-
some pilot flames on gas pool heaters backfeed milli-volts to energize the coil on the main gas valve.so yes it does.
-
A direct flame or heat coil placed in the middle of a tourmaline crystal produces an electrical current. The ends of the crystal being the positive and negative poles.
-
Wouldn't that be a thermocouple?
-
indirectly, magnetism can create electricity directly though.
-
Geothermal energy, here we come!
-
Of course! Heat can cause water turn into steam which can be used to run a turbine.

no

If you have a lot of heat, then you can do what power plants do -- you can use the heat to generate steam, and use the steam to spin a turbine. The turbine can drive a generator, which produces electricity. This setup is very common, but it requires a fair amount of equipment and space. If you would like to generate electricity from heat in a simple way that has no moving parts, this usually involves thermocouples. Thermocouples take advantage of an electrical effect that occurs at junctions between different metals. For example, take two iron wires and one copper wire. Twist one end of the copper wire and one end of one of the iron wires together. Do the same with the other end of the copper wire and the other iron wire. If you heat one of the twisted junctions (perhaps with a match) and attach the two free ends to a volt meter, you will be able to measure a voltage. Similarly, if you hook the two iron wires to a battery, one junction will get hot and the other will get cold.

Is this a science question, or did you meet someone in a bar last night?
-
All energy sources can be transferred into others, by some medium. With loss of some of it of course.
-
Yes heat is a form of energy you just need to convert from one to another.
-
Yes, but in order to make the heat do work, you must make it flow toward a cooler place, and use that flow to change the heat energy into electrical energy. If you can do that, you can make use of the "thermoelectric effect", and in particular the "Seebeck effect". More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seebeck_effect#Seebeck_effect

Yes.

NO
