give one example of meachanical energy being converted into electrical energy?

STEAM TURBINE IS THE BEST EXAMPLE\n in this process steam rotates the turbine convert heat anergy to mechanical energy, and then mechanical turbine rotates the dynamo which creates electricity.

Heat energy.\n\nThere is water (or a water mixture) cooling the core directly.  This water is radioactive.  You then have coils running in the water which have other water (protected from the radiation) coursing through them.  This water gets the heat transfered to it and turns to steam.  The steam runs turbines that turn a magnet core in the center of a copper coil that in turn produces electricity.\n\nHope this answers it for ya, feel free to email me!

Solar cells convert the solar energy into elctricity and this electrical energy can be used for cooling

A normal chemical battery or pencil cell converts the chemical energy stored in it to electrical energy.The reactions between zinc and copper sulphate produces the reqiured energy.\nAbout stryroform...well frankly speaking I dont have the slightest idea...but u can try \nwww.answers.com\nmaybe it will help u

Kinetic Energy:\n\nKinetic energy (SI unit: the joule) is energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion. It is formally defined as the work needed to accelerate a body from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that speed.\n\nIn simple cases, this work (and thus the kinetic enrgy) is equal to:\n\n    Ek =.5(M*(V^2))\nwhere m is the object's mass and v is the object's velocity.

Of course energy is transferred  in energy transformation . How heat can be transferred in mechanical energy transformation or chemical energy transformation . There are  different type of energy like mechanical energy , heat energy, chemical energy and nuclear energy .  The Energy transform in  form of  qunta. Minimum energy transferred will be   h f ( frequency) . h is Planck's constant .

Look, energy is conserved, period.  It may be in the form of PE, KE, heat, etc., but it is always conserved.  My best guess is that whatever experimentalists you're thinking of probably neglected to consider heat effects of some other energy drain/source.\n\nBy the way, I think you now hold the record for the worst spelling and punctuation ever on Yahoo! Answers.

Basically energy derived from steam or heat escaping from deep underground.  Kinda like harnessing "Old Faithful".\nHTH

Almost all power plants use some heat source (coal, natural gas, nuclear pile, geothermal heat, concentrated sun rays) to generate steam. The steam turns turbines. The turbines turn generators.\nGenerators generate electricity which is where electromagnetism comes in. A simple model is this: when you move a magnet around a wire you see a current induced in the wire. Now a generator moves a whole bunch of coils of wire around magnets (or moves magnets inside lots of coils of wire) and thus uses electromagnetism to generate electricity.

Yes, if it's converted to energy.  E=mc^2

Technically a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is usually called a transducer unless it is generating power at which point it is usually called a generator.\n\nSo a generator is a spinning magnet in a coil of wire. Spinning the magnet generates electricity in the coil. Examples of transducers include phonograph needles, sonar crystals, and BBQ grill lighters. These use a piezoelectric device to convert mechanical energy to electricity.

Actually there are lots of instances of energy being converted into mass. The simplest case is pair production, when you have a high energy gramma ray pass close to an atome there is a chance that the photon will interacte at create an electron poistron pair. In doing so the photon losses energy equal two the combined mass of the two paricles,1.022 MeV.

not quite sure what you are asking but:\n\nfirst form of energy was human power (brute force)\nthen came fire (heat energy)\nwind power for flour mills\nsteam power\nelectricity (then the different forms of generating it, coal first, gasoline, nuclear, wind, solar etc)

Energy can take the form of heat, light, vibration, momentum or sound. It can also be stored as potential energy. Anytime you interconvert among these forms of energy, you can say it is "transferred". Chemical reactions can include some or all of these, with chemical bonds representing stored potential energy.\n\nIn nuclear reactions, you can say that energy and matter are interconverted as well.
