Energy Conversion
Energy Conversion
Some ideas, forces, machinery, devices, systems, and products explaining energy conversion in a visual are explored.
Starting with Nuclear Energy, stored in the nucleus of an atom and released as nuclei are split,
It shows how it transfers into Heat Energy produced from the fission as kinetic energy of the fragments of the fission and the KE of free neutrons. It shows how it is used to heat water and produce steam that under pressure causes turbine blades to turn. The next step was to depict it transfer into Kinetic Energy. The turning of the turbine makes the coil of wire turn in a magnetic field.
Finally, it follows how the transfer into Electrical Energy produced by electromagnetic induction and then transmitted to the National Grid to be transported around the country. Objects and devices being powered by each type of energy are shown. Those are mostly black and white, but each force is color-coded and product is shape-coded.
