Electricity Is a Secondary Energy Source

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge. It is both a basic part of nature and one of our most widely used forms of energy.

Electricity is actually a secondary energy source, also referred to as an energy carrier. That means that we get electricity from the conversion of other sources of energy, such as coal, nuclear, or solar energy. These are called primary sources. The energy sources we use to make electricity can be renewable or non-renewable, but electricity itself is neither renewable or nonrenewable.

Electric airplane progression



More examples of popular electric RC airplanes
The variety of electric powered planes available is vast and growing all the time. It's very easy to become overwhelmed by the choice (my eBook makes choosing easy!), but shown below are a few recommended examples of popular Ready To Fly electric rc airplanes...



The Firebird Freedom, from HobbyZone, is a very different style of airplane with a distinct pod-and-boom design. The Firebird range is a popular one with beginners to the hobby.



This J3 Cub is a very popular scale subject and it's gentle flying characteristics and stability make it perfect for beginners.




This attractive Super Decathlon makes a great 3 channel aerobatic trainer, its brushless motor and Li-Po power giving it excellent performance, yet the high wing design giving it the stability needed by beginner pilots.




This Ambassador, from Megatech, follows on from the successful Freedom Flyer but features a powerful outrunner brushless motor and Li-Po battery pack. A great 4 channel trainer and suitable as an all-round electric rc 'sport' flyer.
This E-flite Apprentice 15e took electric rc trainers into a new age, being the first such RTF trainer to be sold with 2.4GHz rc technology. A very popular choice with new rc pilots looking to get serious from day one.




This scale ME Bf109G is a low-wing faster electric airplane, modeled on the famous WWII German warbird. A great plane for when you've got a few hours under your belt, these ParkZone warbirds are excellent planes. This Messerschmitt isn't available as RTF though.

"Electric Trains" redirects here. For the 1995 Squeeze single, see Electric Trains (song).
An electric locomotive is a locomotive powered by electricity from an external source. Sources include overhead lines, third rail, or an on-board electricity storage device such as a battery, flywheel system, or fuel cell.


Electrically propelled locomotives with on-board fueled prime movers, such as diesel engines or gas turbines, are classed as diesel-electric or gas turbine electric locomotives because the electric generator/motor combination only serves as a power transmission system.

Lightning results from the buildup and release of electrical energy between positive and negative charges between the earth and a thunderstorm. A single lightning bolt can be as hot as 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit - hotter even than the surface of the sun. This rapid heating and cooling of the air creates a shock wave which we hear as thunder. Lightning will usually strike the highest object in area. This includes trees, antennas, a boat on a lake, or a person standing in a field.

Maria Cristina Falls is a waterfall of the Agus River on the island of Mindanao. It is sometimes called the "twin falls" as the flow is separated by a rock at the brink of the waterfall.[1] It is a landmark of Iligan City, nicknamed the City of Majestic Waterfalls, because of the presence of more than 20 waterfalls in the city. It is located 9.3 kilometers away southwest of the city proper at the boundaries of Barangays Maria Cristina, Ditucalan, and Buru-un. Well-known for its natural beauty and grandeur, the 320-feet98 meters/320 feet high waterfall[3] is also the primary source of electric power for the city's industries, being harnessed by the Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant.

The guy in the video is Richard Gryzch who claims that this is the world’s first solar charged electric motorbike that can travel up to 50 miles on a full charge and hits a top speed of 9o mph.

The Solar Flyer as it’s called by Gryzch has taken him more than two years to build and to finance his project sold his other motorcycles and even a house.
