Where is most energy lost in coal fired power stations?
Most energy (almost half) is lost as heat via the cooling towers. Hope this helps :)
Where does the wasted energy from a coal power station go?
Most of it simply escapes into the atmosphere !
What drives the electricity generators in a power station?
Electricity is most often generated at a power station by electromechanical generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by chemical combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind.
How does energy get wasted in a power station?
In a conventional fossil fuel plant, most of the lost heat goes literally up the chimney. Since nuclear facilities, most of the heat is dumped into the environment by using heat exchangers that put the heat into large bodies of water or rivers. There are other points of loss, but since about 60% to 65% of the power generated in power stations is lost in one of these two ways, the other losses are negligible.
When a pendulum loses its energy where is it going?
Such "lost energy" is usually lost by friction; most of it is converted to heat, sooner or later.

If there is a lunar station how will it receive power?
A future lunar station is most likely going to rely on sun energy for power. This will most likely demand placement near the poles where sunlight exists around the clock.
Energy loss in conversion from mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Yes, some energy is always lost, in most conversions.Yes, some energy is always lost, in most conversions.Yes, some energy is always lost, in most conversions.Yes, some energy is always lost, in most conversions.
How is energy lost in a laptop?
Most energy is lost through Heat, Light & Sound. Energy will also be lost through kinetic energy, that runs the fans to get the heat out of the laptop. Energy will also be used as Electrical energy to power the components, which in turn, give out heat energy. The pattern goes a little like this: Components: Electrical Energy>Heat Energy>Kinetic Energy Screen: Light Energy>Heat Energy Speakers: Sound Energy

What is the most practical form of energy to power an automobile?
gas (btw im not talking about the nasty kind) im talking the fuel you buy at the gas station.
Most of the energy from the Sun is?
Lost in space.

What is the main fate of energy for most ecosystems?
The main fate of energy is for it to be lost as heat.
