The Unseen World and Other Essays Thus, a stone poised on a cliff, while it exerts no power which can be utilized, has, nevertheless, what is called potential energy. Aeroplanes This integration caused a conversion of the potential energy in the brain-cells into kinetic energy, and there resulted a discharge into the blood-stream of activating internal secretions for the purpose of producing muscular action. Origin and Nature of Emotions There is no potential energy conferred either by the removal or by the approach of the wire, and the only power really transformed or converted, in the experiment, is muscular power. Faraday as a Discoverer Since 1870 the potential energy on the German side of the corner-stone has increased in an unprecedented degree, and this huge energy has been consistently converted into concrete military and naval forces. What Germany Thinks The War as Germans see it This adaptation to environment is made by means of a system of organs evolved for the purpose of converting potential energy into heat and motion. Origin and Nature of Emotions In this sense, and this sense only, can the heat be said to be converted into gravity, or more correctly, into potential energy of gravity. Faraday as a Discoverer In fever, then, we have diminished intake of energy, but an increased output of energy—hence the available potential energy in the body is rapidly consumed.
