  1. Energy and Power By: Reynaldo Garza Jr. Roel Cantu Jr. Christian Gonzalez

  2. Technology • Technology is the use of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems, especially in industry and commerce • It’s also known as electronic or digital products

  3. Energy and Power • This technology deals with the energy used in the modern world, such as • Chemical Energy • Fossil Fuels • Food • Wood • Batteries • Electrical Energy • Heat Energy • Geothermal Energy • Light Energy • Solar Power Cells • Nuclear Energy

  4. Chemical Energy is energy stored in a substance Chemical Energy

  5. Chemical Energy • A battery contains chemical energy. When needed, it can be released, then converted into electricity

  6. Chemical Energy • Wood is also a good example of Chemical Energy • When wood is burned, it releases Chemical Energy, therefore creating a chemical reaction, thus creating fire

  7. Chemical Energy • Food also contains chemical energy. When the food is digested, it is converted into potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy.

  8. Electrical Energy • Electrical Energy is the movement of electrons from one atom to another

  9. Electrical Energy • Electrical Energy can be created from • Nuclear Energy • Hydroelectric Energy • Light Energy • Geothermal Energy

  10. Electrical Energy • When Electrical Energy is created, it is then converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion

  11. Wind Energy • Wind Energy is using the kinetic energy of the wind to rotate a motor, which creates electricity

  12. Wind Energy • In California, there are lots of strong winds, which can power many windmills and create eco-friendly wind energy

  13. Heat Energy • Heat Energy is the energy created from the motion of particles in an atom

  14. Heat Energy • Heat Energy can be created from a geothermal power plant to be converted into electricity

  15. Heat Energy • A geothermal power plant is a power plant that uses the Mantle’s Heat to create Energy

  16. Light Energy • Light Energy is energy from the sun which can be converted into electricity

  17. Light Energy • A solar-power panel uses light energy to create electricity

  18. Light Energy • Most calculators rely on a solar-power cell to work properly

  19. Nuclear Energy • Nuclear Energy is created as atoms of certain material are split • This is called nuclear fission

  20. Nuclear Energy • When nuclear fission occurs, a large amount of energy is created, which can then be transferred into electricity

  21. Shell Gasoline • Shell Gasoline makes gasoline for most transportation vehicles including cars and trucks

  22. GE • GE is a leading energy producing company • They have made a 120 cart train drive 200 miles on one gallon of fuel

  23. MVEC • MVEC stands for Magic Valley Electric Cooperative • MVEC is an electric service company here in the Rio Grande Valley

  24. Energizer • Energizer is a leading battery producing company

  25. Falcon Dam • Falcon Dam is a hydro-electric plant, which uses running water to make electricity for people in the Rio Grande Valley
