Most clocks run on batteries, but some have internal mechanisms that make chiming or gong sounds. These types of clocks also use batteries and mechanics.

What type of energy is used to run most refrigerators?
Electrical- there are a few that run on heat energy from gas or kerosene.
Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
There are different types of "power plant". Some run on nuclear energy, others don't.
What form of energy is used to run electrical devises at home?
mechanical energy or chemical energy,radiant energy,and electrical energy
Is all the energy in gasoline used to run the car?
No. A lot of the energy in the gasoline is wasted.
What is the energy you use to run machines?
There are several ways to power a machine. For a battery it uses chemical energy and for a car battery it uses chemical energy. There are 2 types of energy:Potential energy and Kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be released. and kinetic energy is energy of motion. There are 7 diffrent types of energy: Mechanical, Thermal, Chemical, electrical, sound and Nuclear energy.
What is the name given to types of energy that cannot be replenished as quickly as they are being used therefore will run out?
The answer is probably NONRENEWABLE fuels.
What are the types of energy used in a car?
Cars run of anything they can get lol............idk u tell me what itt runss offf of.
What types of memory can be used on a 100 Mhz motherboard?
ou can probably run PC100 and PC133 Low Density RAM.
How long does a clock run with potatoes for energy?
=how long?...well potatoes don't have natural energy soo...0 hours to be exact.=
What is the energy needed to run landmark lighting?
Landmark lighting is a manufacturing brand and the energy required to run different types of lightings depend on the size of it, the lightbulbs used, and the electricity and watts available in the household or location.
How is clock tower movement possible without electricity?
The source of energy is the hanging weight(s) in the tower....or a wound spring if a more modern mechanism is used. Think of a Grandfather Clock. It is "wound" by pulling on a chain which raises the hanging weight(s) in the body of the clock. The force of gravity pulling on the weights provides the energy to run the clock. Note however, that you actually input the energy initially, when you pulled on the chain to raise the weight. That rise increased the weight's Potential Energy, which is then slowly converted back to Kinetic Energy as the weight slowly is lowered by the Clockwork mechanism.
Can we utilize gravity and motion of simple pendulum to make a generator?
No... Simple harmonic motion will end (under Earth conditions) on its own. Secondly, gravity is a constant accelerating force. This means that it can only pull downward on an object. The energy 'given' to the pendulum in the down swing is used up in its upswing. (it works against gravity in its upswing) Resulting in a net zero energy in the pendulum. On a side note: An old fashion coo-coo clock does run on a gravity system. The heavy weights pull chains through the works to create the energy to run the clock. Unfortunately, the weights have to be lifted to 'recharge' the clock.
What kind of energy does a machine use?
The energy that is used to make a machine run is electrical energy.
