Termal energy - a branch of thermal engineering; energy based on the conversion of termal mainly into mechanical and electrical energy. Thermal devices, the main part of which consists of a termal engine, are used to convert termal into mechanical energy. The mechanical energy generated in these devices drives various machines (metal cutting machines, conveyors, etc. ) or electromechanical generators that produce electricity. Even without electromechanical generators of termal, i.e. in devices for direct energy conversion, for example, magneto-electrodynamic generators, thermo-electric generators, etc. can also be converted into electricity.
