| 41. | The result is a new kind of actuator, a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
|
| 42. | Nanotube actuators might be built in to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy in extraordinarily subtle ways.
|
| 43. | The purpose of the steam turbine is to convert the heat contained in steam into mechanical energy.
|
| 44. | Where is that mechanical energy coming from?
|
| 45. | Hydropower draws mechanical energy from rivers, tides.
|
| 46. | An alternator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, whereas a motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy.
|
| 47. | Thus mechanical energy is not conserved.
|
| 48. | "This is the first example of mechanical energy being converted into chemical energy by catalysis, " he says.
|
| 49. | Every atom incorporates its own peculiar staircase of discrete quantum mechanical energy levels upon which electrons may rest.
|
| 50. | The viscous dissipation function governs the rate at which mechanical energy of the flow is converted to heat.
