The Electromagnetic Energy Generator That We Depend On

.

By Dana Goldberg


Every day we are awash in various forms of energy. Sunlight and our home appliances including television, radio and the microwave are all examples that use electromagnetic energy. Electromagnetic energy generators are all around us.

Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is made up of a spectrum of differing frequency waves. At the lowest end of the spectrum are radio waves. Increasing the energy levels of these waves up the spectrum we find microwaves, visible light, x-rays, and finally gamma rays produced in stars.

Anything that emits energy is generating electromagnetic energy. Whether a campfire, a light bulb, a laptop or a nuclear reaction, all act as generators of EM energy.

Every electromagnetic wave in the spectrum comes from atoms that make up the world around us. Energy is neither created nor destroyed, it changes forms. This is what is happening when EM energy is released through a reaction such as fire; energy of the electrons in the atom is increasing as the heat of the fire causes a chemical reaction to take place. This increased energy is released as infrared EM waves, light and heat.

The largest electromagnetic energy generator that effects planet earth is the sun. This massive body, is a relatively smaller example of one of millions of the stars in the universe that create EM energy through intense thermal and chemical and reactions. This EM energy enters the earth's magnetic field to where it is accelerated to produce the Northern Lights also known as the Aurora Borealis.

Besides visible light, electromagnetic generators exist in the form of electromagnetic pulse generators which are capable of producing EM energy that can break up small calcite material such as kidney stones. These pulses of energy also have the effect of destroying sensitive electronics in computers and microprocessors.

Electromagnetic energy generators are a naturally occurring phenomenon that man has refined through science. Whether natural occurrences such as the sun, or through our own technological mechanisms, it's hard to imagine life existing without this component of the physical world.
