goes into types of energy and conversion thereof

1. Introduction to Robotics
What are Robots

2. Review
•Mechanism
•Simple Machine
•Energy

3. Today
•Laws of Energy
•Energy Type

4. Definitions
•Energy= Ability to do work.
•1st Law of Thermodynamics = Energy cannot
be created or destroyed (just changes form)
•2nd Law of Thermodynamics = Energy runs
out

5. Energy basics
• Energy = power, which can come from
• Mechanical (Motion)
• Solar (Light)
• Thermal (Heat)
• Electricity (can include electromagnetic)
• Waves (Sound)
• Chemical
• Nuclear
• Elastic

7. Mechanical Energy
• Mechanical = Motion
• Anything that
requires movement
(energy)
• What are some
examples of
mechanical energy?
• HINT: YTIVARG

8. Mechanical Energy
• Mechanical = Motion
• Anything that
requires movement
(energy)
• What are some
examples of
mechanical energy?
• HINT: YTIVARG

9. Solar Energy
• Solar = Light
• Energy that comes
from light or the sun

10. Electrical Energy
• Energy that comes
from electricity
• Where else can you
get electrical
energy?

11. Electrical Energy
• Electrical = Electricity
• Energy that is derived
from electrons and
protons
• NOTE: Magnetism and
Electricity are
connected, both have
invisible fields & produce
waves and carry pure
energy

12. Solar Energy
• Solar = Light
• Energy that comes
from light or the sun
• Any other example
of Solar Energy

13. Thermal Energy
• Thermal = Heat
• Energy that comes
from heat
• There’s also
geothermal energy,
getting energy or
heat from the
ground

14. Chemical Energy
Energy that is derived
form a solution/acid or
base
Battery’s have chemicals
inside and electricity is
extracted from them

15. Chemical Energy
Energy that is derived
form a solution/acid or
base
Battery’s have chemicals
inside and electricity is
extracted from them

16. Chemical Energy
Coals (fossil fuels) are also
a form of chemical energy,
its used to extract heat
from it
There’s also biomass, or
bioelectrical energy that
can be harvested

17. Nuclear Energy
• Energy derived from
Nuclear (fission)
• Fission = the splitting of
the atoms
• It is also related with
ions (ionic energy)
• Is there any dangers to
Nuclear energy?

18. Sound/Wave Energy
• Sound energy
• Energy that is carried by
waves
• NOTE: Light & Sound are
both connected, they are
both waves, waves carry
pure energy

19. Elastic Energy
• Stored Energy that can
expand and retract
• Springs is also included
with elastic energy, like
shock absorbers
• Bouncy balls and rubber
tires that causes bounce
and absorption

20. Create a utopia and include
the following
• Location
• Power Source (form of
energy) and why the
specific power source that
was chosen
• Design & Sketch of it
Work in groups and we will
share our designs in class
Design Your Own Utopia
