what kinds of energy r there?

kinetic, gravitational, spring, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, heat, nuclear, light, and chemical.  (There are 10 altogether.)\n\nPlease see this web page:\nhttp://www.fi.edu/guide/hughes/energytypes10.html\n\nI hope this helps. :)\nANON

Energy can exist in many form... \nConsidering the forms of potential energy:\n* Chemical energy - energy locked up in a chemical form such as natural gas, or petroleum can be sent by oil tanker or gas pipeline. \n* Nuclear energy so an atomic bomb can also be sent on a rocket.\n* Potential energy say in a catapult transferred to a rock or a cannon ball sent into the sky and it comes down at high speed somehere else.\n\nHowever I presume you were talking here about electric energy, so this is sent down wires, either with low power as in a phone conversation or high power for power distribution.\n Light is a form of electromagnet radiation and can be sent via a laser beam through the air. Radio waves, Heat, microwaves, X rays etc. are also forms of electromagnetic radiation at different frequencies and can also be sent through the air with the need for wires.\n If the question was how can I get electricity in my house without having a generator or being wired up to the electricity grid then Nicolas Tesla was the pioneer of this using ultra low frequency electromangent waves based at Wardenclyffe Tower, Long Island a century ago. The idea was to inject the energy into the earth directly closing the circuit through the conductive upper atmosphere. Unfortunately he ran out of funding before this could be fully demonstrated.

Most likely Energy in Joules. We need a context though.

You are quite right that what is meant by the term energy is at best often ambiguous, and saying energy can convert from one form to another is unhelpful because it introduces "flavours" of energy. This confusion has historic origins - at one time, different forms of energy were thought to be different and it was not obvious that they were interchangeable of equivalent.\n\nThe easiest way to think of it is this.\n\nThere are two ways in which a particle can be said to have energy.\n\n1. it is moving (including vibrating)\nthis accounts for many of the things you think of as energy - heat is vibrating molecules, electricity is moving charge etc, and of course a speeding bullet has "kinetic energy"\n\n2. it is in a potential\nthis means it is being pulled by one of the forces of nature (gravity, electrostatic or strong nuclear) - if it "gives in" to this force it will accelerate (ie move) and have energy of type 1, and hence this is often called potential energy\nthis accounts for things like the energy in chemical bonds, nuclear energy, the energy in springs etc\n\nNow you can see that you can convert energy associated with moving to energy in a potential. For instance, if i fire a bullet in the air, first the chemicals in the explosive react. This means the electrons rearrange to have a little less energy in the potential created by the nuclei, and this energy is release. The released energy is converted to the energy of motion of the bullet. The bullet flies into the air against the force of gravity and it gain gravitational potential energy as it rises; it also slows down so it is losing kinetic energy.\n\nOne of the triumphs of science was to show that all of these energies are the same - i.e. that none is gained or lost.

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.

E=mc^2  Wow!  This mean that you can transform energy into a mass as it goes at the speed of light squared.  In other words, if you were to take two objects and both collide at the speed of light, what will be left is only energy in a form of light, fire, etc.  Cool!  Other forms of energy are as mechanical energy, electrical energy, light energy, thermal energy, chemical energy etc.

Well, if you get something with the second to lowest potential energy in the world, that energy can go to the lowest potential energy thing in the world and that's it.  Otherthan that, no.  And there's nothing inherent in the material, unless you're talking about chemical reactions, in which case, I just don't know what those two things are.  I hope that's clear.
