Energy Defined as The Ability to Do Work

!±8± Energy Defined as The Ability to Do Work

In the world of physics energy is often defined as the ability to do work. For instance the energy of the wind that moves a windmill might create electricity or through a process of gears it might turn a pump for water. A car engine on the other hand will turn a set of gears in a transmission which then turns the tires and makes the car go. We call this energy horsepower and that's how we measure it; horsepower is the ability to do work and it is a measurement stick.

Is there an energy which cannot be defined by its ability to do work? It is hard to say because as soon as you make a statement of a type of energy and its how it does no work someone else can come up with what that energy is doing thus figure out how it can be measured. The human body burns calories and that allows it to do work.

The human brain uses that the energy and it can think, is that work? The amount of energy the human brain uses in the amount of work it's able to do varies from person to person; same with someone's physical ability.

In this case you might say that the human brain is a force multiplier, as it is able to figure out an easier way to do work, saving energy and making other energies more efficient and effective. Thus it is really worth what you put into it. So, feed your body good stuff and use your brain to the best of your ability.

If you take a strong man and give him a banana he may be able to shovel twice as much snow as a small skinny person who also eats the same banana but has a higher metabolism. The problem with defining energy as its ability to do work is that it cannot always be measured and even if we come up with a measurement the conversion rates of energy to work will vary from machine to machine or from human to human.

We have often heard in Communism that people should have equal pay for equal work. But how could we measure the work and no two humans are equal in their ability to do work. If we use methods of piecemeal work like Friedrich Winslow Taylor or JD Rockefeller this is a better measurement. But that would be capitalism not Communism.

In Communism everyone does the best they can or puts in their time and expects that to be good enough. Unfortunately that does not provide the incentive needed to be efficient. Thus communism is a poor method when applied to humans to fully utilize the bio-system, brain or take advantage of the force multiplier.

Defining energy as the ability to work is irrelevant without the efficiency quotient attached. Without trampling on the world of physics or the academia sciences we must never forget that not all things can be measured in such a simplistic way because all things are not equal; they never have been and they never will be. Everything is not as it seems.

My wife and I went to China to see Tom and Sally Conlon who manufactures American style windmills in China. From the Big cities to the very remote Ming villages, we witnessed first hand the need for clean water and how the nonpolluting windmill can provide that water.

Multivaned Windmill

The mutivaned windmill, developed in the United States in the last half of the 19th century, consists of a number of small metal vanes set in a wheel. It was widely adopted by the end of the century, and thereafter its use spread through the world. As standardized, it has a wind wheel 8 feet in diameter with many steel blades set close together. Mounted on a steel tower about 35 feet high, this windmill is usually geared to a pump that can be detached and operated by hand. The mill can pump water from great depths for livestock, irrigation, or household use.

During the early 20th century, a steel tower multivaned windmill rose above nearly every farm in the Midwest and West, but the rapid advance of rural electrification during the 1930's eliminated most of them. However, they still remain in use in India and other developing countries.

Propeller Windmill

The propeller windmill, generally having two or three blades, came into use following the development of the airfoil propeller for aircraft in the 1920's. The propeller windmill typically is used in conjunction with a generator to provide electricity in isolated rural areas. Small propeller windmills provide electric power to a home or farm. Large propeller wind mills are experimental or under development. They provide electric power to a distribution network, as does an electric power station.

Beauchamp Smith, Palmer Putman, and co workers pioneered the development of the large propeller windmill. They built and operated a 1,250 kilowatt wind turbine and generator unit that delivered electricity to the network of the Central Vermount Public Service Corporation during 1941-1945.in the mid 1970's several organization, including the Aerowatt Corporation in France and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, were pursuing the development of large wind generator systems.
