    Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Act; Geothermal Energy Act; Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Act; Created Synthetic Fuels Corporation to market fossil fuel alternatives. Provided loan guarantees for biofuels and alcohol fuels projects. Revised the Defense Production Act of 1950 to allow federal improvements to energy supply. Created ...

  3. National Energy Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Energy_Act

    The package was a major step in the legislation of the energy field, both the supply and the demand side. The package has soon been followed by Energy Security Act, 8 acts signed by president Carter in 1980. [1] This sequel package addressed energy conservation and development of renewable energy sources.

  4. Energy Tax Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Tax_Act

    The Energy Tax Act (Pub. L. 95–618, 92 Stat. 3174, enacted November 9, 1978) is a law passed by the U.S. Congress as part of the National Energy Act.The objective of this law was to shift from oil and gas supply toward energy conservation; thus, to promote fuel efficiency and renewable energy through taxes and tax credits.

  5. Sisyphus cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus_cooling

    Physical principle of Sisyphus cooling: The atoms are running against the potential energy, become excited into a higher band, fall back into a low-energy state (i.e. from the rather high "blue" state upwards, then immediately backwards to the lower "red" state), always on the left-hand side, from which, after one and a half of the "red" or "blue" period, say, of the laser action, they get ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Security_Act

    The Energy Security Act was signed into law by U.S. President Jimmy Carter on June 30, 1980. [1] It consisted of six major acts: [2] U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation Act; Biomass Energy and Alcohol Fuels Act; Renewable Energy Resources Act; Solar Energy and Energy Conservation Act; Geothermal Energy Act; Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Act

  7. 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 ...

  8. Chemiosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiosmosis

    Electrostatic force caused by electrical potential gradient - cations like protons H + tend to diffuse down the electrical potential, from the positive (P) side of the membrane to the negative (N) side. Anions diffuse spontaneously in the opposite direction. These two gradients taken together can be expressed as an electrochemical gradient.

  9. Marangoni effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marangoni_effect

    The effect of the Marangoni effect on heat transfer in the presence of gas bubbles on the heating surface (e.g., in subcooled nucleate boiling) has long been ignored, but it is currently a topic of ongoing research interest because of its potential fundamental importance to the understanding of heat transfer in boiling.
