  2. Direct energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

    A significant amount of the energy released by fusion reactions is composed of electromagnetic radiation, essentially X-rays due to Bremsstrahlung. Those X-rays can not be converted into electric power with the various electrostatic and magnetic direct energy converters listed above, and their energy is lost.

  3. Climate variability and change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_variability_and_change

    The locations of the seas are important in controlling the transfer of heat and moisture across the globe, and therefore, in determining global climate. A recent example of tectonic control on ocean circulation is the formation of the Isthmus of Panama about 5 million years ago, which shut off direct mixing between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

  4. Physics of firearms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_firearms

    From the viewpoint of physics (dynamics, to be exact), a firearm, as for most weapons, is a system for delivering maximum destructive energy to the target with minimum delivery of energy on the shooter. [citation needed] The momentum delivered to the target, however, cannot be any more than that (due to recoil) on the shooter.

  5. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

    Neither direct measurements nor proxies of solar variation correlate well with Earth global temperature, [57] particularly in recent decades when both quantities are best known. [ 51 ] [ 58 ] The oppositely-directed trends highlighted by Lockwood and Fröhlich [ 51 ] in 2007, with global mean temperatures continuing to rise while solar activity ...
