Photovoltaics, often called solar energy, is the process of converting sunlight to electrical energy.
SOFCs create electrical energy via an electrochemical reaction that takes place across an ultrathin membrane.
And you would have some sort of cycle to derive electrical energy from that.

The sensors pick up the microwaves with an antenna and convert the signal into electrical energy.
This is a device that reacts hydrogen and oxygen together to release electrical energy.
As the buoy moves up and down on the waves, that mechanical energy is turned into electrical energy.

Japan has 51 nuclear reactors producing about a third of its electrical energy.
Thus the pair have invested in Advanced Neuromodulation Systems, developer of implantable devices that deliver electrical energy to treat pain.
The crank-handle drives a dynamo through a clever transmission system, and the resulting electrical energy goes straight into a rechargeable battery.
Put another way, we would have roughly three times the amount of electrical energy we have now for the same cost.
The technology vaporizes (but doesn't burn) garbage with arcs of electrical energy that heat matter inside their beam to 25, 000 degrees.
Additional stations may be included to convert the released thermal energy to other energy forms such as electrical energy and mechanical work.
The third technology is the combination of the first two: that is, the rapid storage and rapid transmission of electrical energy.
Nuclear power has the potential to be the safest means of producing electrical energy, but to be that, some things need to change.
FORBES: A Year After Fukushima Meltdown, Is Nuke Power Any Safer?
It has been estimated that a single bolt of lightning has enough electrical energy to power the city of Los Angeles for a day.
The actual technology used to generate electrical energy has only a weak influence on the cleared price of energy in a large free market of this sort.
Bottom line: There is no way the U.S. economy can enjoy future prosperity without the big three electrical energy sources of clean coal, natural gas and nuclear.
The TDI engine charges the battery while driving in order to store enough electrical energy for EV operation later in the journey-for instance, in an urban area.

To enable this material to store electrical energy, two layers of woven fibres are made into a sandwich, separated by a thin layer of a glass-based insulating material.
The group measured the vibrations emitted in the chests of pigs and sheep during surgeries, and then used those calculations to estimate how much electrical energy would be generated by the harvester.
But the safety of beaming it back--proposals call for converting the radiated energy into a narrow microwave beam, which would then be collected and converted into electrical energy on earth--makes many people uncomfortable.
By cooling such devices with liquids, IBM reckons it can increase the amount of sunlight that can be focused on them without destroying them, thus increasing the amount of electrical energy they produce.
Experts estimate that about 3 percent of the electrical energy consumed in the United States and other developed countries is used to treat wastewater, and a majority of that electricity is produced by fossil fuels that contribute to global warming.
In place of a rechargeable battery, it may use an ultracapacitor a more expensive component that stores electrical energy in the same way as a battery, but can retain it almost indefinitely and is not worn out by repeated charging and discharging.
When a pulse of light is sent into the tumor using fiber optic cable that is threaded into a tumor using a biopsy needle, the molecule absorbs the light energy, converts it electrical energy that then causes tumor cells to self destruct.
