Kinetic energy, i.e., motion energy or the corresponding mechanical work, is converted into elastic energy in such a way that it can be fully released again when required.

Metabolic energy used during walking can be partly replaced by power input from an exoskeleton2, ... We built a lightweight elastic device that acts in parallel with the user's calf muscles, ...

In this lesson, students look more closely at the released energy that travels in the form of waves, called seismic waves. It is this released energy that puts human beings and human structures in ...

In fact, studies over the years have concluded that between 40% and 50% of the energy you need to run is recycled from stride to stride through this elastic energy storage-and-return mechanism. At ...

Computer simulations indicate that Himalayan megaearthquakes must occur every 1,000 years or so to empty a reservoir of energy in southern Tibet not released by smaller earthquakes, according to a ...
