Different kinds of Energy

Energy is capacity to do work. There are different kinds energy.

Solar energy, Mechanical energy, Chemical energy, Heat energy, Sound energy, Electrical energy etc. Solar energy is the source of all energies. Energy is released from the Sun as a result of the nuclear fission taking place in it.

Electrical energy has become an indispensable thing in the life of men these days. Almost all the machines are operated only with electrical power. The conventional methods of generating electrical power are hydro electric power and thermal electric power.

With mansoon rains failing and the decrease of fuel sources. We have started thinking about methods of producing electrical energy by some non conventional methods. Air current oceanic current are used to produce power.

Above all their scientists concentrate their work on the production of electrical energy from atomic energy and they have succeeded to certain extent. But the atomic power stations without safety measures lead to the leakage of radiation which cause hazards to living things.

Before we think about new methods of producing energy. Let us first try to conserve energy sources already available. Besides finding new means to produce energy let us conserve the available sources of energy.
