Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while

Heat Heat is the transfer of energy from a hot object to a colder object‚ such as when toasting a slice of bread. The heat transfers onto the slice of bread which results in warm toast. When the slice of bread is heated‚ many things change; for example‚ the texture turns crunchy‚ the bread hardens‚ and the colour darkens. Where does the toast get its heat from? The toaster. Toaster A toaster is an electric small appliance designed to toast sliced bread by exposing it to heat. When a slice of bread

How does my wind generator work? Every wind generator‚ whether they produce enough energy to power a city or to power a small radio‚ works on these same basic principles... 1. The wind blows 2. The generator’s vane (tail) causes it to turn into the wind 3. Blades attached to an alternator/generator experience the force of lift and begin to spin 4. The spinning creates electricity for us to use directly or to charge batteries Sounds pretty simple eh? Well‚ then how the heck do I build one
