Mechanical energy

Mechanical energy is energy that is produced by the position and motion of a body, can be potential and kinetic.-Kinetic energy is produceed by the motion of an object-Potencial energy is produced when an object move from its stable position of equilibrium.

Electrical energy

The electrical energy produced by the motion of electrical charges through a lead wire.

Electromagnetic energy

Is the energy that is produced from electromagnetic radiation.This energy is

transported by electromagnetic waves. One of this is the luminous energy.

Sound energy

The sound energy is the energy that carry sound waves. It comes from the vibrational energy of

sound focus and spreads to the medium particles that cross in the form of kinetic energy and

potential energy.

a

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy. Is the energy involved in the bond formed between two atoms. Each atom in a chemical compound involves different amounts of energy.

Nuclear energy

Nuclear energy is the energy released in nuclear reactions. We also refer to nuclear energy as the energy by which we get other energies such as

electric, thermal or mechanical energy from nuclear reactions.

Thermal or calorific energy

Thermal energy is heat energy produced by burning a fuel, which may be solid, liquid or

gaseous, also obtained by electricity, by friction, by nuclear fission ...

This energy is generated by the movement of the particles forming the subject.

Thermal energy is the result of adding all the mechanical energy associated with the

movements of the different particles that form and unit of thermal energy is heat.

In the thermal energy, there are 2 types: the heat energy and solar thermal.

Renewable energy

Non renewable energy

Renewable energy

It is called renewable energy to the energy obtained from natural sources inexhaustible, or the immense amount of energy they contain, or because they are able to regenerate by natural means.

Non-renewable energy

Non-renewable energy refers to those sources of energy found in nature in a limited amount and once consumed in its entirety can not be replaced, because there is no production or extraction system viable.

POWER STATIONS

A power plant is a plant where some kind of fuel is used in order to produce electricity.In this way there are: thermal plants (using steam or gas turbines), hydroelectric (using water power by means of hydraulic turbines and generators with automated operation), nuclear, wind (using wind energy) and solar (solar energy).

ABOUT WIND TURBINES THAT PRODUCE FRESH WATER

This report explains the process of how fresh water can be produce from humid air by using wind

turbines. This project is very important, because if it’s carried out, it could solve many problems, for example: islands cannot centralized their water

supply, or some remote communities in arid countries where water resources are scarce.
