Open energy-system models are energy-system models that are open source. [a] However, some of them may use third-party proprietary software as part of their workflows to input, process, or output data. Preferably, these models use open data, which facilitates open science.
The high electric field causes the air around the high-voltage terminal to ionize and conduct electricity, allowing electricity to leak into the air in colorful corona discharges, brush discharges and streamer arcs. Tesla coils are used for entertainment at science museums and public events, and for special effects in movies and television.
At high concentrations, a deviation from the nearest-neighbour model is observed, and variable-range hopping is used instead to describe transport. Variable range hopping can be used to describe disordered systems such as molecularly-doped polymers, low molecular weight glasses and conjugated polymers. [ 3 ]
The Dexter energy transfer rate, , is indicated by the formula: = ′ [] where is the separation of the donor from the acceptor, is the sum of the Van der Waals radii of the donor and the acceptor, and ′ is the normalized spectral overlap integral, where normalized means that both emission intensity and extinction coefficient have been adjusted to unit area.
The SET rate follows the inverse of the fourth power of the distance [2] = where is the donor emission lifetime; is the distance between donor-acceptor; is the distance at which SET efficiency decreases to 50% (i.e., equal probability of energy transfer and spontaneous emission).
The triboelectric effect (also known as triboelectricity, triboelectric charging, triboelectrification, or tribocharging) describes electric charge transfer between two objects when they contact or slide against each other. It can occur with different materials, such as the sole of a shoe on a carpet, or between two pieces of the same material.

While not technically power transmission, energy is commonly transported by shipping chemical or nuclear fuels. Possible artificial fuels include radioactive isotopes , wood alcohol , grain alcohol , methane , synthetic gas , hydrogen gas (H 2 ), cryogenic gas , and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
