What else can I help you with?
Is thermal energy derived from the wind?
If you refer to the definitions: No. Thermal energy is heat energy. Energy derived from the wind is known as wind energy, also as eolic energy.
How is wind energy and thermal energy related?
Both are the inertial energy of moving molecules. Thermal energy being random and wind energy being more ordered in direction.
Does wind turbins convert potentia lenergy kinetic energy or thermal energy into its original potential energy?
Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy. They do not convert energy directly back into potential, kinetic, or thermal energy.
What are some non polluting sources of energy?
Solar, Wind, Water. geothermal,tidal,ocean energy etc
Is wind energy different from geothermal?
Yes. Wind energy comes from the wind. Geothermal (Geo = Ground, Thermal = Heat or temperature) comes from the heat in the ground.
What are natural types of electrical energy?
Hydro, Thermal,Solar and Wind
How is thermal energy transferred around our Earth?
Mostly by wind and current.
Is a windmill thermal energy?
No, a windmill generates mechanical energy by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind to turn a turbine, which then generates electricity. Thermal energy is typically generated by heat sources such as burning fossil fuels, geothermal activity, or solar radiation.
What is a renewable energy resources that does not depend on the sun?
Wind, wave or geo-thermal
Is solar thermal energy widely used?
It's not likely. Only 3% of Americans use sun, wind, water, and thermal energy as sources of electricity.
How is wind a form of solar energy?
Wind is not a form of Solar Energy. Wind energy in terms of windmills are powered by the wind driving a motor whilst solar involves a more chemical process for Photovoltaic cells, and heating for thermal cells.
What is energys source?
An energy source is something that gives off energy. Such as sun, wind, water, coal. Sun is important in producing solar energy, wind is important for wind energy, Water for hydroelectric power And coal for thermal power.
