2) Wind is used to produce electricity by converting the kinetic energy of air in motion into
electricity. In modern wind turbines, wind rotates the rotor blades, which convert kinetic
energy into rotational energy.
4)Ocean Renewable ocean energy (or simply ocean energy) is energy derived from the motion
of the ocean or its physical and chemical state. In the United States, ocean energy can be
generated from waves, tides and currents, as well as from temperature differences in the
oceans.
5) Geothermal Energy is a renewable source of energy taken from the Earth's core. It comes
from the heat generated during the planet's initial formation and the radioactive decay of
matter. This thermal energy is stored in rocks and fluids in the Earth's interior.
6)Biomass (energy) refers to a type of energy that is useful in formal energy terms: plants
transform radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy through photosynthesis.
7)Tidal energy is the energy obtained by harnessing the tides: by using an alternator, the
system can be used to generate electricity, thus transforming tidal energy into electrical
energy, a safer and more usable form of energy.
NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY
SOURCES
Advantages Disadvantages
Ease of extraction. Emission of polluting gases into the
atmosphere that are toxic to life.
High temporal availability.
Possibility of the termination of reserves in
Long chronological continuity. the short and medium term.
Comparatively inexpensive. Decreased availability of raw materials
suitable for manufacturing products
instead of being burned.
MAIN ENERGY PRODUCERS
AND CONSUMERS:
There are a lot of energy producers and
consumers all over the world that mainly use
non-renewable energy sources such as:
1. Oil: This is reserved in some countries such
as Canada, but it is also very consumed by
Japan.
2. Gas: This recourse is reserved in a few
countries like Venezuela and is consumed
in some countries such as Russia.
Even thought there are a lot of countries
non-renawable energy sources for not
saying every single country, there are also
some countries that use renewable energy
sources like:
2ª INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
In the early 20th century, the world entered the Second
Industrial Revolution with the introduction of steel and
the use of electricity in factories. The introduction of
electricity allowed manufacturers to increase efficiency
and helped increase the mobility of factory machinery.
It was at this stage that mass production concepts,
such as the assembly line, were introduced as a way to
increase productivity.
3ª INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
In the late 1950s, a third industrial revolution slowly
began to emerge as manufacturers began to
incorporate more electronics and eventually
computers into their factories. During this time,
manufacturers began to move away from analog and
mechanical technology and more toward digital
technology and automation software.
4ª INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
The last few decades have seen a fourth industrial
revolution, Industry 4.0. It takes the emphasis on
digital technologies of the past decades to a whole new
level with the interconnectivity of the Internet of
Things (IoT), real-time data access and the
introduction of physically networked systems. It
provides a more comprehensive, interconnected and
holistic approach to manufacturing. It connects the
physical with the digital and enables better
collaboration and access between departments,
partners, suppliers, products and people.
