force of energy
Radiation transfers thermal energy through electromagnetic waves emitted by a hot object. These waves carry energy from the object to cooler surroundings, allowing for heat transfer without the need for a medium. An example of radiation transferring thermal energy is the way sunlight warms the Earth's surface.
Using a material with a high thermal conductivity is best. For example silver and copper both have a high thermal conductivity. If you hold one end of a copper pipe in fire, the other end will heat up quite rapidly.
Thermal energy is the energy that comes from heat. It is the internal energy of a substance due to the movement of its particles at the microscopic level. Thermal energy is transferred between objects through mechanisms like conduction, convection, and radiation.

Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
I suppose you could convert kinetic energy into thermal energy via friction, i.e. a moving object could move along another object, causing friction, which would release thermal energy in the process. I cannot think of a more direct way. -Hazz
Thermal energy is the energy and object or system has due to the movement of particles within. This results in the object or system having an internal temperature that can be measured with a thermometer.
Yes, silver is just about the best conductor there is
The best thesis for a paper on the positive effects of solar thermal energy could be: "Solar thermal energy offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Its ability to harness the sun's energy efficiently can lead to significant cost savings, job creation, and energy independence for communities."
