I know it’s the short list…
…”Other energy conversions
There are many different machines and transducers that convert one energy form into another. A short list of examples follows:
Thermoelectric (Heat → Electric energy)
Geothermal power (Heat→ Electric energy)
Heat engines, such as the internal combustion engine used in cars, or the steam engine (Heat → Mechanical energy)
Ocean thermal power (Heat → Electric energy)
Hydroelectric dams (Gravitational potential energy → Electric energy)
Electric generator (Kinetic energy or Mechanical work → Electric energy)
Fuel cells (Chemical energy → Electric energy)
Battery (electricity) (Chemical energy → Electric energy)
Fire (Chemical energy → Heat and Light)
Electric lamp (Electric energy → Heat and Light)
Microphone (Sound → Electric energy)
Wave power (Mechanical energy → Electric energy)
Windmills (Wind energy → Electric energy or Mechanical energy)
Piezoelectrics (Strain → Electric energy)
Acoustoelectrics (Sound → Electric energy)
Friction (Kinetic energy → Heat)
Heater (Electric energy → Heat)
Light bulb (electricity → light)”…
ADD MICROWAVE TO THE ABOVE.
THERE’S ANOTHER ONE, LET’S SEE IF YOU CAN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.
THERE ARE MORE… BUT MAYBE THE LIST WOULD BE TOO LONG???
:~)
