Energy is one of the most important factors in today’s living. Energy is used for many reasons. For example: helping maintain the flow of businesses‚ transporting goods and services to different places. Most of our daily activities‚ if not all‚ require some type of energy. According to the Energy Project‚ “We need energy for everything -- to power our homes‚ drive our cars‚ use technology and even to feed and clothe us.” Even the resources we use on a daily basis‚ such as our phones or the Internet

find new energy sources. Because present energy sources are running down. So‚ alternative energy is so popular in these days. Because it has no danger to human life like nuclear powerplants‚ it is free to use and it has no waste. There are three types of alternative energy sources: Solar‚ wind and water. This report will be about solar energy. Its purpose is giving some information about solar energy to mechanical engineering students and engineers and calling attention on solar energy. The

things and The Sun’s Energy Most of the energy we use is from the sun. This energy from the sun is called solar energy‚ plants convert it into energy‚ and animals eat plants and convert that into energy. Humans eat plants and animals and convert those into energy; humans also use solar energy to create electricity. How exactly then is the sun’s energy converted into a sustainable energy source? One process is photosynthesis. In plants‚ cells called chloroplasts collect energy from the sun and use

Nuclear energy Nuclear energy in scientific terms defined as the inhaustible energy derived from the nucleus of an atom by the process of nucleus break up through nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear fission is a process where the nucleus of an atom splits and releases radioactive materials such as uranium which are used in many ways. Nuclear fusion is a process s when the two atoms of an element get together and large amount of heat is generated. in this way the nucleus releases tremendous

What is wind energy? Wind energy is energy that is created by using the wind to generate power. It is a form of kinetic energy that can be transformed into mechanical energy or electricity. What is solar energy? Solar energy is energy derived from the sun. Used synonymously with solar power‚ it is the ability of the sun to convert sunlight into electricity. What is geothermal energy? Geothermal energy is energy generated from the heat beneath the Earth’s surface. It is a renewable energy because it

The Role of Energy in the Body M1 Your body needs some kind energy to keep it functioning and working properly; Our bodies inherit the energy they need from food through metabolism. Metabolism is the chemical reactions in the cells that transfer the fuel from food into the energy needed in everyday life to complete daily activities. Energy is needed to get rid of oxygen from certain areas in our bodies and remove it from our bloodstream. Energy comes from; Fats Carbohydrates proteins Without
