The deep circulation of the oceans controls the weather and climate of the earth by moving heat, generating storms and controlling rainfall and droughts.
That's largely thanks to Intel's Airflow Cooling technology, which rearranges all of the heat-generating components in a row and draws in cool air from outside the notebook, instead of within.
Even though the plant shut down the production of electricity, the nuclear reaction keeps generating heat.
As the dispute over the US presidential election drags on, a much bigger debate is generating heat at the Hague climate conference.
With sorghum, the ethanol distillery can put the bagasse (plant stalks) to use as a boiler fuel, generating heat for distillation and steam for electricity.
When co-generating heat and electricity, solid oxide fuel cells can reach combined efficiencies upwards of 85%, which is excellent, but no word yet whether or not the Bloom fuel cell will co-generate heat.
FORBES: The Economics of Bloom Energy's 'Breakthrough' Fuel Cell
Matter falling into them swirls around, and atoms rub together generating heat "like spinning a stick against another piece of wood to start a fire" and producing enough heat to make the material radiate across the electromagnetic spectrum.
Ivanpah is a solar concentrator project, using fields of mirrors, known as heliostats, to concentrate sunlight onto a solar receiver on top of a tower. (This project when finished will include 173, 000 heliostats.) The concentrated sunlight is used to heat water, generating steam which is used to turn a traditional turbine and generator to produce electricity.
FORBES: Google Invests $168 Million In BrightSource Energy Solar Plant
The SanDisk Extreme SSD consumes 30 percent less power than a hard disk drive while generating less heat and noise, making it an ideal solution for notebook users who want to maximize their battery life while computing on the go.
ENGADGET: SanDisk launches Extreme SSDs: $190 for 120GB, $400 for 240GB
Intel couldn't push their design much further without sucking up too much power and generating too much heat.
While earlier chip designs prized speed, while hogging power and generating way too much heat, the new chips are built around cool-running "cores" that can be paired up to get more done.
The argument about the format of the debates may be generating a lot of heat this week but, ironically, it is doubtful whether the debates themselves will change many votes, however they are done.
Yet for all the heat Ms Sotomayor's nomination is generating, she will almost certainly be confirmed by the Senate.
During periods of high demand, the heat pump runs in reverse as a heat engine, expanding and cooling the argon and generating electricity.
As solar panel prices have plunged, developers like Solar Millennium have abandoned solar thermal technology, which uses huge mirror arrays to heat water to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
FORBES: U.S. Solar Market Jumps 69% in Q2 But Likely To Cool Off
Tellingly, about two-thirds of bids for solar energy contracts last year (by electricity generated) were for photovoltaic projects and only a third were for solar thermal power plants, which deploy vast arrays of mirrors to heat liquids and produce steam to drive an electricity-generating turbine.
FORBES: California Reveals Price It Pays For Renewable Energy
We're using more and more carbon-based fuels, generating greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide) that trap heat from the sun in our atmosphere.
Bally and IGT stress tools like player tracking or "heat maps" to show pockets of busy casino floor activity and which games are generating the most profit.
The vehicle is powered by what is essentially a nuclear battery that converts heat into electricity providing power to Curiosity's instruments as well as generating warmth during the frigid Martian nights.
The heat released by the molten salt is used to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
