DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENERGY 1.

hydropower It is called hydroelectric power or hydropower to that obtained from the use of kinetic and potential energies of the flow of rivers, waterfalls and tides. It is a type of green energy when environmental impact is minimal and uses force without reprisals water, otherwise it is considered just a form of renewable energy. It can transform very different scales exist for centuries small farms where the river current moves a blade rotor and generates an applied movement, for example, in rural mills. However, the most significant use are hydroelectric dams, although the latter are not considered forms of green energy by producing high environmental impact. When the sun warms the earth and generate air currents, makes the water of the seas, mainly evaporate and ascend through the air and move into the mountainous regions, to fall as rain. This water can be collected and retained by dams. Part of the stored water is let out to move the blades of a turbine mesh with a power generator. 2. radiant Energy Is the energy possessed by the electromagnetic waves such as visible light, radio waves, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), etc.. The main feature of this energy is propagated in a vacuum without any material support. It is transmitted in units called photons, these units called photons act like particles also must be as it would raise the physicist Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity 3. light energy Light energy is carried by the light that is manifested on the subject in different ways, one of which is to tear the metal ions can behave as a wave or like material but more often is that they move as a wave and interact with matter in a material or physical. Your speed is celersima, moves at 300,000 km / s but this is only through a vacuum, because it passes through a material medium such as water or air it slows down when traveling through the diamond (adamus in Greek which means invincible to be very hard and scratch all other minerals) is just your speed 144.000 km / s with a temperature of 0 degrees kelvin would be frozen, what happens is not yet reached that temperature, only some chemical reactions has been touched but has not been reached.

4. electric power Electrical energy is called the form of energy that results from the existence of potential difference between two points, thus establishing an electric current between the two-when placed in contact through an electrical conductor, to obtain work. Electrical energy can be transformed into many other forms of energy such as light energy or light, mechanical energy and thermal energy. Its use is one of the foundations of the technology used by humans today. Electrical energy is expressed as electrical current, ie, as the movement of negative electric charges or electrons through a metallic conductor cable due to the potential difference being applied to a generator at its ends. Each time a switch is operated, closes an electrical circuit and generates the movement of electrons through the lead wire. Moving loads part of atoms, which is desired by the corresponding transformations, eg when the power reaches apolisher, is converted into mechanical energy, heat and light in some cases, thanks to the engine electrical and mechanical parts of various equipment 5. energy theme It is called thermal energy to the energy released as heat. Can be obtained from nature, from chemical energy, through an exothermic reaction, as the combustion of fuel for a nuclear fission reaction or fusion; by electrical energy by Joule effect or thermoelectric effect, or by friction as a residue of other mechanical or chemical processes. You can also take advantage of natural energy that is in the form of thermal energy, such as geothermal or solar thermal. The thermal energy can be transformed using a heat engine, either into electricity ina power plant, or into mechanical work, as in a motor car, airplane or boat. The thermal energy involves obtaining an environmental impact. The combustion releases carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Current technology in nuclear power leads to radioactive waste that must be controlled. They must also take into account the use of land for power plants and pollution risks for accidents in the use of the materials involved, such as oil spills or petrochemical derivatives. 6. wind Power Wind energy is the energy from wind, ie, the kinetic energy generated by the effect ofair currents, and is transformed into other useful forms for human activities. The wind comes from the Latin term aeolicus belonging or relating to Aeolus, god of the winds in Greek mythology. Wind energy has been used since antiquity to move boats powered by sail or operate the machinery of mills to move their blades. Today, wind energy is mainly used to produce electricity through wind turbines. In late 2007, worldwide capacity of wind generators was 94.1 gig watts. [1] As the wind generates about 1% of global electricity

consumption [2] represents about 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 9% in Spain and Portugal, and 6% in Germany and Ireland (Data 2007). Wind energy is an abundant, renewable, clean and helps reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from power plants by replacing fossil fuel-based, which makes it akind of green energy. However, the main drawback is its intermitencia. 7. sound energy Is the energy that carry sound waves. Sounds more intense the more energy they carry. 8. nuclear power The term nuclear energy is used in Spanish with two possible meanings: firstly to describe the form of energy that is released, either artificial or spontaneous, in nuclear reactions and on the other hand, the utilization of the energy released for obtaining electric, thermal and / or mechanically, either by peaceful or warlike. [1] These reactions occur in the nuclei of some isotopes of chemical elements, the most known fission of uranium-235 (235U), with the operating nuclear reactors, andmore common in nature, within the stars, the fusion of two deuterium-tritium (2H,3H). However, to produce this type of building energy nuclear reactions can be usedmany other isotopes of various chemical elements such as thorium-232, plutonium-239, strontium-90 and polonium-210 (232Th, 239Pu, 90Sr, 210Po, respectively). The two most investigated and worked to obtain nuclear energy are massivelyprofitable nuclear fission and nuclear fusion. Nuclear energy may become out of control, as in the interior of stars, leading to nuclear weapons, or controlled nuclear reactors which produce electrical energy, mechanical energy or thermal energy. The materials used as the design of the facilities are completely different in each case. Another technique, used mainly in batteries of enormous length for systems thatrequire low power consumption, is the use of radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTG or RTG in English), which exploit the different decay modes to generate electricity in systems thermocouple from the heat transferred by a radioactive source. The energy released in these nuclear processes often appear as moving subatomicparticles. These particles, slowed in the art that surrounds them, produce thermal energy. This thermal energy is transformed into mechanical energy using external combustion engines such as steam turbines. This mechanical energy can be usedin transportation, such as in nuclear ships, or to generate electricity in nuclear power plants. The main characteristic of this energy is the high amount of energy that can be produced per unit mass of material used in comparison with any other type of energy known to man. 9. chemical energy Chemical energy is a manifestation of energy. Specifically, it is one aspect of the internal energy of a body and, although it is always in the field, we are only displayed when there is an alteration of this intimate. Currently, chemical energy is moving automobiles, ships and

airplanes, and generally, millions of machines. Both the combustion of coal, fuel oil or steam engines like the oil in the strait and narrow space of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine, chemical reactions. Coalgasified fuel and combines with oxygen in the air react with it and become soft and slowly, in the case of coal, or instantly and rapidly in the case of petrol into the cylinders of engines. The gas mixtures swollen considerably and rapidly expand and instantly communicated to the engine's pistons its translational energy, strength or movement alive. When tucked in the coal or firewood, gasoline and oil in an atmosphere of inert gas, eg nitrogen gas, neither the first nor the last exploit would burn in the cylinders. Nitrogen does not react with those bodies and mixtures of gas and nitrogen or burn or explode. Finally, mention the most recent and spectacularapplication of chemical energy to achieve what for centuries was his dream of thereturn trip to outer space and the moon, and the placement of different types ofartificial satellites certain orbits.
