and carbon dioxide are converted to energy and oxygen, is the basic function used by plants worldwide to create their own fuel. For every other creature on the planet that cannot create their own sustainable energy, we rely on a food chain that begins where this process ends (Mader, 2010, p. 87). It is not surprising, then, that mankind has attempted to emulate this formula by harnessing the sun’s power to supply the earth with a clean, sustainable energy source akin to how nature enables an

Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. Earth's geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of minerals. The geothermal gradient, which is the difference in temperature between the core of the planet and its surface, drives a continuous conduction of thermal energy in the form of heat from the core to the surface. Geothermal

According to Greenpeace ( 2010 ), “With current technology, renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and geothermal can provide 96% of our total heating demand – accounting for almost all of our primary energy demand.” (The Solutions, para. 1 2010). By putting these resources to work preservation of our planet for future generations

Energy Agnese Strayer University Dr. Andrey R. Pavlov Science 110 April 21, 2012 We recognize energy through the concepts of force and motion. When work is done on an object, it gains energy. Energy is made of two types, potential energy which is stored energy and kinetic energy which consists of moving energy. Food is stored energy. It is stored as a chemical with potential energy. When your body uses that stored energy to do work, it then becomes kinetic energy.(Integrated Science, 2008)

an internal combustion engine that uses air as the working fluid. The engine extracts chemical energy from fuel and converts it to mechanical energy using the gaseous energy of the working fluid (air) to drive the engine and propeller, which, in turn, propel the airplane. THE GAS TURBINE CYCLE The basic principle of the airplane turbine engine is identical to any and all engines that extract energy from chemical fuel. The basic 4 steps for any internal combustion engine are: 1. Intake of air (and
