convectional energy resources?

First of all, I believe you mean "conventional" resources. Coal, along with oil, peat, wood and natural gas is a conventional energy resource. These are all classified as fossil fuels. They are made up of the remains of once living matter. For the present, they are in plentiful supply. However, as with all things on and in this planet, they are NOT in INFINATE supply. Some day we WILL run out of them.Unconventional resources, such as nuclear power and renewable fuels, are being developed as we speak.

Maybe this can help...all you have to do is a search in Yahoo or Google...\n\nhttp://www.think-energy.com/ThinkEnergy/11-14/activities/EnergyTrans.aspx\n\nTry searching for "energy" or "kinetic energy"

I guess that this random kinatis energy is actually heat.\n\nIf you are able too remove the heat from the backside, you could get usefull energy by using a thermopile. By doing that you take advantages of the heatflow from one side to another.

In convection parcels of material move. In conduction it is the energy that migrates.\n\nConvection can only involve heat. Conduction can involve heat and electricity.\n\nConduction happens in solids. Convection occurs in gases or liquids only.\n\nI'll get back to to you....

It has a dynamo inside it, when you wind it up, that is the driving force for the energy.

You take lots of measurements of wind velocity, temperature and barometric pressure at many grid points, each of which defines a "cell" (a small volume of air -- small compared to the size of the hurricane, that is). From pressure and temperature you can estimate density of each cell, and from the cell volume, the cell's mass. Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2.  Compute for each cell and add 'em up.

One of the best ideas is a device that uses the motion of the ocean waves to produce energy.  Also, it would be more efficient to simply burn hydrogen as a fuel source as opposed to trying extract the energy created when it bonds with oxygen to create water.  Another is simply burning garbage, I believe a major metropolitan city in Minnesota created a site to do this in the middle of downtown to show that it could be done with minimal side effects on the people living/working there.

It does not help.  It is the LACK of sufficient conduction in the mantle that forces the core to get rid of its heat by mantle convection instead.  If the mantle conducted better, it wouldn't need to convect, and then there would be no plate tectonic movement at all.

Thermal energy IS heat.

Energy demand will keep on increasing. So there will be substitute sources of energy like solar cell and water. A lot of research is going on to make this alternate sources working and cheaper than the conventional ones like mineral fuels.

joules is energy...im dumb

Thermal energy is heat that comes in 3 forms: conduction, convection, and radiation.  Conduction is when you are cooking on a stove and the heat passes through the metal in the burner and into the pan.  Convection is when air passes over a warm surface and rises or moves because of the increase in energy and takes the thermal energy with it.  Radiation is how the Sun brings energy to the Earth and other planets.  Thermal energy is measured in Joules (J for short) or British Thermal Units (BTUs).  The transfer of heat is measured in Joules per second, or watts, and BTU/hour.\n\nIts use is almost every aspect of our lives, from your body keeping itself warm to cooking to keeping your house warm to chemical reactions that generate heat.  If you want to study thermal energy, you might major in Mechanical Engineering or Physics in college.  I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I am going to take a guess and say the moon.\n\nNo, I am kidding, it's the Sun\n\nSolar energy can be converted in to electricity and heat.

All of this are plus gas,petrol and nuclear energy. Water, wind and sun are called renewable energy resources.

Convection is heat transfer by motion of a heat carrying medium.  It is a process where air or liquid moves the heat from one surface to another.
