Types of Energy
Mechanical
-
Kinetic
Kinetic is the energy of motion, there are many forms of kinetic energy like vibrational, rotational, translational.
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is obtained by splitting the atoms of certain elements in order to set free the saturated energy. It was first used in the 1940's during the World War II. It is now used to control power generation and for the production of bombs.
Tidal
Is produced by the creation of the ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides, this is a renewable source of energy
Thermal Energy
This energy is created when the molecules of certain body begin to move rapidly, which generates heat. It can be considered a type of kinetic energy.
Biomass
Solid biomass (ex:wood and garbage) can be burned directly to produce heat. Biomass can be converted into biogas or into biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. These fuels can then be burned for energy.
Hydroelectric
Electricity is produced from generators driven by turbines that will transform the potential and kinetic energy from water that falls from a high altitude
Hydraulic
Water is stored at a high altitude so it has potential gravitational energy, later it falls to a lower level transforming that way to kinetic energy and it can be transformed into electric energy in a hydroelectric plant
Eolic
The Eolic energy si the conversion of energy in which turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical or electrical energy that can be used for power.
Solar
More energy from the sun falls on the earth than the energy is used all around the world. This solar energy allows to transform the sunlight to energy. The most commonly used for solar technologies are solar water heating, passive solar design for space heating and cooling, and solar photovoltaics for electricity.
