 Energy
Explained
Energy is in everything.
It makes everything happen.
We buy energy, sell energy, eat energy, waste energy, talk a little about conserving
energy, fight over energy -- and kids use it to chase pigeons. You can't understand
animals, biology, physics, chemistry, electronics, volcanoes, or any field of
science, engineering, or economics, without understanding how energy behaves.
At this website you shall become the enlightened energy know-it-all. The basics
are here. The wonder is here.
Who knows where this knowledge will lead you?
Follow the links on the left, and start exploring.
Educators can link to all the energy pages through this page and navigate
from here. Just close each window when you're finished. |

Things
Change (Thanks to Energy)
 Energy
is about change. Nothing happens without energy.
It can be transferred from place to place. It can change form - be transformed
you might say. Every time energy moves or changes, something happens. Something
gets hotter or colder. Something moves. Something falls, breaks, blows up, rusts,
or crumbles to dust. Someone takes a breath, gets a thought, reads a web page
and laughs.
 To
study energy is to study what happens when energy moves or changes. If you know
the basics you can predict the future. We engineers do it all the time - and we're
often right. When we're not, everyone knows about it, especially when things explode
or fall with a bang.
Start exploring. Use the links in the left column. Close each page when you're
finished with it and you'll be right back here. Or follow the links at the end
of each page, to the next window.

ExcessiveSelf-Praise
for
FT Exploring Energy Pages |
"In my never humble opinion,
the FT Exploring web site pages on energy contain the absolute best explanations
of basic energy concepts ever written anywhere. I can't stop reading it over and
over. I also can't stop buying posters because I know it helps support this site."
Dr. Galapagos - Know-It-All
Tortoise
(and web site author)
"Finally, an absolute mind-boggling thriller. I never knew energy could be so
exciting. Please, please make this into a movie. I'll buy the DVD now."
