potential energy (redirected fromStored energy) Thesaurus Medical Encyclopedia potential energy n. The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy. ...
Thermal energy: This type of kinetic energy relates to the motion of atoms and molecules within a substance. Potential Energy Potential energy is stored within an object due to its position or condition. Gravitational energy: Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because ...
This may be too short a period to circumvent the problem by converting to other energy sources, so advance planning is a necessity. The only practical means of avoiding the problem of thermal pollution appears to be the use of solar energy. (Schemes to "air-condition" the earth do not ...
MECHANICAL STORED ENERGY\nPOSITIONING ACTUATORABSTRACT OF THE INVENTIONA motor driven actuator, providing continuous positioning\nof an output shaft, and employing energy storage which allows the\nshaft to return to a predetermined position on failure of the\ninput power source or other predetermined oc...
the walls of containing structure are subject to temperature changes due to changing outdoor conditions, which would result in temperature gradients within the grain bulk. These temperature gradients are often the cause of fungal growth in the stored grain. To simulate this condition in the test bi...
Position the TV so air can circulate freely on all sides. • Do not stack objects on the TV. • If you place the TV on a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation. • If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier to the TV, place it on the top shelf so the heated air...
The energy from the source is harvested by changing the element, after the exposure to the signal, so as to obtain a modified condition. The energy is stored by mechanically locking the element in modified condition and the stored energy is converted to work by not exposing the element to ...
(i is x, y or z) is an elasto-plastic sectional coefficient found from the yield condition of a simple load, E is a Young's modulus (longitudinal elastic coefficient), H is a work-hardening ratio, γ is the ratio of the area of an elastic area to the area of a plastic area. #...
(typically 70% to 90%) is used to fill or expand the bag from its folded position of essentially zero volume to its full volume, and then the remaining small minority of the energy (typically 10% to 30%) is used to raise the pressure of the bag above atmospheric after the bag has ...
condition; and wherein after one of said single switching circuits has been detected as being defective, said control circuit responds to said disconnection by: setting both of respective switching elements of a single switching circuit of each of said DC-to-AC inverter circuits, other than said...
