Many Types of Energy



Water Power
  • Moving water produces energy
  • Moving water is a source of clean renewable energy and a reliable energy source which converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity
  • It is the oldest method by which renewable energy has been harnessed by the human race 
  • I saw a miniature dam by Mud Bay 
Fossil Fuels
  • Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas come from the ground and can be turend into energy
  • They are a non-renewable source of energy


Nuclear Power
  • Nuclear energy is a clean, safe way to make electricity. It does not burn any fuel like coal so there are no pollutants released into the air.
  • It uses however, a fossil fuel, uranium.

Wind Power
  • Turbines create electricity from wind.
  • It is a renewable form of energy because we never run out of wind.
  • The windmill was the first form of technology. 
  • Wind is a source of clean renewable energy
  • Scientists use wind tunnels to learn what shapes move fastest.
            

Solar Power 
  • most solar power comes from the sun 
  • poor countries use solar panels
  • solar panels on the roof provide heat and hot water
  • satellites use solar power panels for power.
