All modern devices transform energy from one mode to another. Consider a portable generator: it transforms chemical energy into rotary mechanical energy, into electrical energy. For this discussion, explore these different modern devices.

Device is Deisel engines.

1. Describe the chain of energy transformations that occur within the device.
2. Point out in the chain where you think useful energy is wasted. We will address losses and efficiency in later units.
