First discuss how energy can be converted from one form to another, giving specific examples. All forms of energy can be converted to another form of. For example: “A pendulum is an object, called a bob, suspended by a string or wire for support. If the bob is moved to one side and then released, it will swing back and forth in an arc. At that moment the bob reaches the top of its swing, it stops for an instant, then begins another swing. At that instant of stopping, the bob has 100 percent potential

I. OVERVIEW/ INTRODUCTION As a tropical country, the Philippines has untapped vast potential of solar energy; yet in 1980’s, solar application is beyond the bound of possible solutions in rural, remote areas in the country. Thus in February 27, 1981, Federal Republic of Germany and Republic of the Philippines entered into a contract to develop applications of solar energy in the Philippines. This project was called the Philippine German Solar Energy Project (PGSEP) which was funded by the German

save energy. So, what is the production stagger of flour milling processing machinery? The so-called production stagger is, in fact, be energy use was divided to different processing stage, will be flour milling processing machinery and energy consumption of the production process in the period of use of electricity tariff rate is low, can save our production cost. Then, what specific benefits we can get if we let the flour milling processing machinery production stagger? Now let us try to understand

Evaluation of Green Technology and the Potential for Environmental Benefit It is important to first recognize that for the most part human kind has ceased to acknowledge the sacred commonality we beings share with the rest of nature. How much this may have to do with the idea that by our birth in we have in fact “sinned” ignores the fact that as we are one with nature we therefore have in fact never left the “father”. By first awakening to this fact would of course greatly expedite human kinds

using it. This paper will give an explanation on how energy use is dictated or regulated by law according to the energy policy act of (2005). Energy use is a major problem the world has today, resources are becoming scarce because of our consumption level is more than can be replenished in the amount of time we need it. The law of conservation of energy states that the quantity of energy stored in a system will be constant throughout time. (Law of conservation of energy, n/d) Since energy
