====================== I don't see why nuclear energy is not considered conventional -- the western nations in general have nuclear power plants to produce nuclear energy. The power plants have been run for decades and nuclear power is a mature technology. I would consider it conventional. What I think is unconventional is when someone claims his "new" method can produce more energy than what he puts in -- basically getting a free lunch, like a perpetual motion machine. ====================== == ==

Is nuclear power is non conventional energy?

Nuclear power is considered a conventional source of energy because it has been used for several decades on a large scale to generate electricity. Non-conventional sources of energy typically refer to renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower.


Which one is not conventional source of energy?

Any energy source that is obtained from animal or plant matter, excluding fossilised material, is considered biomass energy. So, anything that's not that, including oil, coal, gas, and nuclear energy.


Is atomic energy a non conventional energy?

Yes, atomic energy is considered a non-conventional source of energy. It is derived from nuclear reactions, specifically fission or fusion processes, and is different from conventional sources like fossil fuels or renewable energy sources.

How convert conveniotional energy into non conventional energy?

You don't. There is no difference in the type of energy, between the "conventional" and "non-conventional" types. What makes energy conventional or non-conventional is the SOURCE - a conventional source being one that has been used for a long time.


Images of conventional source of energy?

Conventional sources of energy include coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. These sources produce electricity through processes like combustion or nuclear fission. The images can include power plants, fossil fuel extraction sites, and nuclear reactors.

What are conventional bombs?

The conventional bombs are the non-nuclear ones. They use a exotermic chemical reaction to obtain a sudden release of great amount of energy. In such weapons, nuclear fission and fussion are not significant source of energy, and radiocativity is not used as part of its offensive power. Regards, Mario/Brazil


What are conventional source of energy?

For electricity the main conventional fuels are coal and natural gas, and hydro power would also be considered conventional. Nuclear probably not, though it has been in use over 50 years now. For transport and the chemical industry, oil is the main conventional fuel


What are the conventional source of energy?

Conventional sources of energy include fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear energy. These sources have been traditionally used to generate electricity, power vehicles, and provide heat for residential and industrial applications.
