Wind Energy- the name says it all. Wind must be present for there to be any kind of power output. When there is wind, a generator is turned, not at a very fast pace, and produces a fair amount of electricity. If you have noticed, there are usually many of them put together in a given area, which is not a very pleasant sight. The transport of this energy is not easy as well, at least not efficiently.
Water Energy- based on the constant flow of water, it is a more reliable source of energy. Dams and rivers are the main sources of energy, as there is almost constant flow of water (winter months in some areas do tend to freeze the water, making this source unstable for some regions) More energy is produced because of the constant flow of water. Dams are able to wear down and, if not treated and maintained properly, break apart, causing overflowing of water in areas around ground zero.

What energy does a computer transfer?
The energy used to power a computer is Electrical Energy.
What are the main energies an escalator is converted into?
It converts electrical energy into kinetic energy (and some thermal energy).
What are the advantages and disadvantages of electrical current?
Advantages of electric current : This is the energy source which can be easily converted into other energies like heat, mechanical, light etc very easily. Very convenient to use and environment friendly as no pollution is caused by its use at the consumer end. Disadvantage: It can sometime prove fatal and its transmission lines used to carry current looks ugly
What are the input and output energies of a fridge?
These are the energies that are used at different times for the fridge. There will be different energy levels depending on how hard it works and if the door is open or closed.
What is the ultimate source of energies of fossil fuels dams and windmills?
The sun!!
What are the 10 energies?
Kinetic, Sound, Potential, electrical, magnetic, nuclear, chemical, light, thermal and mechanical.
How is mechanical energy different from energy conversion?
Not all the time. Many time they are the main energies being interconverted. Its basically where electrical and magnetic energies coming into play when they are of no use.
What is the same between mechanical energy and electrical energy?
The same thing between mechanical energy, and electrical energy, is that both types of energies, have energy particles flowing through conducters, from the energy source, out to the place where the energy is likely needed.
What is energy that results from chemical changes is?
well what had happen was..... it makes generate heat, electrical, mechanical, and sound energies
What type of energies are there?
There is Light, Kinetic, Gravitational Potential, Sound, Electrical, Chemical, Heat, and Elastic energy.
What energies is a toaster?
electrical
What is meant by coupling magnetic field in electromechanical energy conversion?
Coupling field is link between electrical and mechanical energies in electromechanical energy conversions. If the output is mechanical (motor), coupling field reacts with input electrical energy in terms of Back EMF which opposes the input. Coupling field absorbs energy from electrical system, converts and delivers mechanical energy. If output is electrical (generator), coupling field reacts with input mechanical energy in terms of Magnetic Drag which opposes the input. Coupling field absorbs energy from mechanical system, converts and delivers electrical energy.
What kind of energy is potential and kinetic?
Both are Mechanical energies
An objects mechanical energy is?
the sum of its potential and kinetic energies :)
What are the seven different types of energies?
thermal nuclear chemicals mechanical light electrical sound
What are the two energy involved when you bang on drums?
Mechanical and sound energies
If you add an objects potential and kinetic energies you get its mechanical energy?
Yes
