Need fuel + input energy (heat to set it alight) + air (oxygen in air to keep it burning)
  1. Stored energy is transferred
    1. Get a useful output energy (eg. heat and light)
      1. Output can be used for movement (transport)
        1. Electricity (coal)
          1. When we eat food, we are able to move and keep our bodies warm
            1. This transfer of energy from the sun, to plants and then to animals is called an energy or food chain
            2. FUELS = SUBSTANCES THAT BURN
              1. ENERGY
                1. plants
                  1. Provide animals with food (fuel)
                  2. SUN
                  3. Have different properties

                      1. Coal, charcoal, wood, gas, crude oil (petrol, paraffin, candle wax, diesel)
                        1. Start-up heat energy - some fuels catch alight easily, others need a lot of heat energy
                          1. Some have more stored energy than others
                            1. Some burn fast, others slowly
                              1. Some produce more harmful waste products
                            2. Eg. match (flammable chemicals + friction)
