The differences vary anywhere from pitching style to field length. First off, softball pitchers use a windmill motion. This means that they move their arm in a clockwise rotation and release the ball at their hip. The next difference is field size. A regular fast pitch softball field in high school, college, and professional is two hundred feet long. The…

The steam is guided through a pipe which is used to rotate the blades of a turbine. This is very similar to the windmill; the heat energy from the steam is then turned to mechanical energy. This rotational energy caused by the high pressured steam turbine is used to generate electricity from an attached…
