potential to acoustic energy
In a radio, energy transfers through electromagnetic waves. The electrical signal from the radio station is converted into electromagnetic waves, which travel through space and are picked up by the radio's antenna, converting them back into sound waves that we can hear.
Technically, you are "producing" the energy, but I'm assuming you mean what is "storing" it. Clockwork works like this: you wind it up, and inside there is a spring which stores the energy, and as that spring unwinds, it moves gears to convert the energy into motion.~W
When a wind-up toy is released, the energy stored in the compressed spring is converted into kinetic energy, causing the toy to move. This movement occurs as the spring unwinds and transfers its stored energy into the toy's mechanical components.
Wind-up cars work by storing potential energy in a spring mechanism when the car is wound up. When released, the spring unwinds and transfers this energy to the wheels, propelling the car forward. The key mechanisms involved in their operation are the spring mechanism for storing energy, gears to transfer the energy to the wheels, and wheels for movement.
No, solar cells would only extend playing time on a wind-up radio if they are connected to a rechargeable battery that stores the energy produced. Directly connecting solar cells to the radio would only provide power when exposed to sunlight.
RF stands for Radio Frequency, magnetic waves radiate out of the transmitting antenna and are picked up or recovered by the receiving antenna at the receiver.

A wind up radio is a great device if you need a radio and have no electricity or batteries. These come in handy if there is a storm and you lose power or in case of emergency.

It can vary, but wind-up radios can last up to an hour or two on one full wind-up.
A wind-up car works by winding a key or pulling a string to store potential energy in a spring. When released, the spring unwinds and transfers energy to gears that turn the wheels, propelling the car forward. The key components involved in its operation are the spring, gears, and wheels.
Setting up wind mills can be expensive but using the wind energy for everyday appliances can actually save you up to $2000 a year.
Solar powered radios will last far longer than wind-up radios, provided there is adequate sun.
The wind-up radio was invented by a British man - Trevor Baylis. It is wound up by an integral handle, which winds a mainspring (a larger version of the mainspring found in a watch. The spring slowly unwinds, turning an internal generator - which powers the radio. See related links to Wikipedia pages on the inventor - and the radio.
