The film explains the conversion of mechanical energy and thermal energy using examples like a bouncing ball and gas molecules. It discusses the principles of kinetic and potential energy, the ...

Our invention (the Mechanical Motion Rectifier based Railroad Energy Harvester) can harness 200 watts of electric energy from train-induced track deflections to power the track-side electrical ...

The mechanical energy is caused by the attractive force of the electromagnet. Now imagine a circle of electromagnets that you could turn on and off one after another.

"Mechanical energy—such as the kinetic energy of wind, waves, body movement and vibrations from motors—is abundant," said co-author Michael Dickey, a chemical and bimolecular engineer at NCSU.

The mechanical power density of the new material is on the order of 1 watt per kilogram. The idea of harvesting energy from a moisture gradient, rather than typical sources like light, heat, ...

Collecting energy from various small mechanical processes has always been something that’s been technically possible, but never done on a large scale due to issues with cost and scalability.

Well, a team of engineers at Ohio State University is looking for answer to that question with structures that resemble trees, but actually create energy when they move in the breeze.

All engineering majors are required to complete nearly one year (48 weeks) of cooperative education experience. For students in the energy and environment option, your co-ops are expected to take ...

Luke Walker, one of the team’s electro-mechanical engineers, said he intends to devote his career to climate-change mitigation by using carbon-free energy technologies. “This project provides the ...

Applicants should possess a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering with a minimum GPA of 3.000 on a 4.000 grade scale or equivalent. Students that do not hold ...

Physical Science, Transfer of Energy: Energy is a property of many substances and is associated with heat, light, electricity, mechanical motion, sound, nuclei, and the nature of a chemical ...
