Energy - is the capacity of a
physical system to perform work.
Energy exists in several forms such as
heat , kinetic or mechanical energy,
light, potential energy , electrical, or
other forms. Energy is the ability to
do work. Energy sources could be
classified as Renewable and Non-
renewable.
Renewable-is energy that is
collected from renewable
resources, which are naturally
replenished on a human
timescale, such as sunlight,
wind, rain, tides, waves, and
geothermal heat.
Solar- harvests the energy of the sun
through using collector panels to create
conditions that can then be turned into a
kind of power. The issue with solar is that
while there is plentiful amounts of sun
available, only certain geographical ranges
of the world get enough of the direct power
of the sun for long enough to generate
usable power from this source.
Tidal - energy uses rise and fall of tides
to convert kinetic energy of incoming and
outgoing tides into electrical energy. The
generation of energy through tidal power is
mostly prevalent in coastal areas. When
there is increased height of water levels in
the ocean, tides are produced which rush
back and forth in the ocean.
Wind- The new innovations that are
allowing wind farms to appear are making
them a more common sight. By using large
turbines to take available wind as the
power to turn, the turbine can then turn a
generator to produce electricity.
Wave- Wave energy is produced from the
waves that are produced in the oceans. Wave
energy is renewable, environment
friendly and causes no harm to atmosphere.
It can be harnessed along coastal regions of
many countries and can help a country to
reduce its dependance on foreign countries
for fuel.
Nuclear- it remains one of the major
renewable sources of energy available to the
world. The energy is created through a
specific nuclear reaction, which is then
collected and used to power generators.
While almost every country has nuclear
generators, there are moratoriums on their
use or construction as scientists try to
resolve safety and disposal issues for waste.
Biomass-  is produced from organic
material . Chlorophyll present in plants
captures the sun’s energy by converting
carbon dioxide from the air and water from
the ground into carbohydrates through the
process of photosynthesis. Biomass
generally include crops, plants, trees, yard
clippings, wood chips and animal wastes.
Hydrogen- Once it is separated, it can be
used as a fuel for generating electricity.
Hydrogen is a tremendous source of energy
and can be used as a source of fuel to power
ships, vehicles, homes, industries and
rockets. It is completely renewable, can be
produced on demand and does not leave any
toxic emissions in the atmosphere.
Geothermal- Geothermal energy is the
energy that is produced from beneath the
earth. High temperatures are produced
continuously inside the earth’s crust by the
slow delay of radioactive particles. Hot
rocks present below the earth heats up the
water that produces steam. The steam is then
captured that helps to move turbines. The
rotating turbines then power the generators.
Hydroelectric- The power of the water is
used to turn generators to produce the
electricity that is then used. The problems
faced with hydropower right now have to do
with the aging of the dams. Many of them
need major restoration work to remain
functional and safe, and that costs enormous
sums of money.
Nonrenewable- energy comes
from sources that will run out or
will not be replenished in our
lifetimes. Most non-renewable
energy sources are fossil fuels: coal,
oil, and natural gas. Carbon is the
main element in fossil fuels.
Fossil Fuels-  Fossil fuels provide the
power for most of the world, primarily using
coal and oil. Oil is converted into many
products, the most used of which is gasoline.
Natural gas is starting to become more
common, but is used mostly for heating
applications although there are more and
more natural gas powered vehicles
appearing on the streets.
