Energy Energy Ambient energy exchange (AEE) describes a theoretical device which converts ambient or background energy into a different form and stores it for a particular use. It is usually associated with nanotechnology and is still very much in its infancy, not even being recognised by some technologists. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ambient energy exchange"
Animal traction refers to the use of draft animals (also draught animals) to provide motive power for vehicles or machinery. It is believed to be the first significant non-human source of power. ...more on Wikipedia about "Animal traction"

In astrodynamics a characteristic energy () is a measure of the energy required for an interplanetary mission that requires attaining an excess orbital velocity over an escape velocity required for additional orbital maneuvers. The unit of the characteristic energy is km2 s-2. ...more on Wikipedia about "Characteristic energy"
Clean coal is coal chemically washed of minerals and impurities, sometimes gasified, burned and the resulting flue gases treated with steam and reburned so as to make the carbon dioxide in the flue gas economically recoverable. The carbon dioxide will then be sequestered by some means (several are being explored - see Carbon dioxide sink). ...more on Wikipedia about "Clean coal"

In demand response (DR), electricity customers reduce their consumption at critical times. This is different from energy efficiency, which is performing the same services but using less power. In demand response, customers shed loads in response to a demand from the utility. Services (lights, machines, air conditioning) are cut back for a few hours or a day at a time. An alternative is to start an on-site generator to supplement the power grid. ...more on Wikipedia about "Demand response"

Energetics is the scientific study of energy flows under transformation. Because energy flows at all scales, from the quantum level, to the biosphere and cosmos, energetics is therefore a very broad discipline, encompassing for example thermodynamics, chemistry, biological energetics, biochemistry and ecological energetics. Where each branch of energetics begins and ends is a topic of constant debate. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energetics"

Energy is a measure of being able to do mechanical work. It is a fundamental concept pertaining to the ability for action. In physics, it is a quantity that every physical system possesses. This quantity is not absolute but relative to a state of the system known as its reference state or reference level. The energy of a physical system is defined as the amount of mechanical work that the system can produce if it changes its state to its reference state; for example if a liter of water cools down to 0 °C or if a car hits a tree and decelerates from 120 km/h to 0 km/h. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy"
Energy conservation is the idealistic or economic practice of reducing the use of energy. This is done in two ways: ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy conservation"
Energy development is the ongoing effort to provide abundant and accessible energy resources through knowledge, skills, and constructions. When harnessing energy from primary energy sources and converting them into ever more convenient secondary energy forms, such as electrical energy and cleaner fuels, both quantity (harnessing more energy) and quality (more efficient use) are important. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy development"
The energy industry is a generic term for all of the industries involved the production and sale of energy, including fuel extraction and manufacture, energy generation and energy distribution, in whatever form. Modern society consumes large amounts of energy, and the energy industry is crucial to the maintenance of society in almost all countries. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy industry"

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58) is a statute which was passed by the United States Congress on July 29, 2005 and signed into law on August 8 2005 at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Act, described by proponents as an attempt to combat growing energy problems, provides tax incentives and loan guarantees for energy production of various types. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy Policy Act of 2005"
Energy quality refers to the contrast between different forms of energy, and the propensity of energy to convert from one form to another. The concept refers to our empirical experience of the characteristics, or qualia, of different energy forms as they flow and transform. It appeals to our common perception of the heat value, versatility, and environmental performance of different energy forms and the way a small increment in energy flow can sometimes produce a large transformation effect on both energy physical state and energy form. For example the transition from a solid state to liquid may only involve a very small addition of energy. Methods of evaluating energy quality are concerned to develop a system of ranking energy qualities in hierarchical order. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy quality"

The Energy Tax Act (Public Law 95-318) was a law passed by the U.S. Congress in 1978 as part of the National Energy Act. It was a response to the 1973 oil crisis and promoted fuel efficiency and renewable energy through taxes and tax credits. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy Tax Act"
An energy-credit, sometimes called an energy certificate, is a hypothetical unit of currency used in a technocracy, or technate as the movement likes to call it. Unlike traditional money, energy-credits cannot be saved or earned, only distributed evenly among a populace. The amount of credit given to each citizen would be calculated by determining the total productive capacity of the technate and dividing it equally. The reason for the use of energy-credits serves to ensure equality among the technate's citizenry as well as prohibit a spending that is beyond the productive capacity of the technocracy. ...more on Wikipedia about "Energy-credits"
According to an EU Directive most white goods and light bulb packaging must have an EU Energy Label clearly displayed when offered for sale or rent. The energy efficiency of the appliance is rated in terms of a set of energy efficiency classes from A to G on the label, A being the most energy efficient, G the least efficient. The labels also give other useful information to the customer as they choose between various models. ...more on Wikipedia about "EU energy label"
Fluidized bed combustion (FBC) is a technology used in the design of so-called clean coal power plants. FBC can also be used for other solid fuel power plants, such as biomass plants. Fluidized beds suspend solid fuels on upward-blowing jets of air during the combustion process. The result is a turbulent mixing of gas and solids. The tumbling action, much like a bubbling fluid, provides more effective chemical reactions and heat transfer. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fluidized bed combustion" Things go better with http://www.shortopedia.com. shortopedia
