# Energy
## Microsim To Do — 150 priority articles
These are the 150 articles selected from the Energy sheet as the **coolest, easiest, most interactive** candidates to ship as microsims first. They are grouped by the Energy microsim patterns from P5 JS EDITOR §4 (Pattern A — classical-mechanics constructions; Pattern D — thermodynamic state diagrams and cycles; Pattern E — phase transitions and equilibria; Pattern V — vector fields; Pattern K — stock-and-flow / energy balance), with crossover groups for statistical mechanics, heat transfer, renewable systems, advanced mechanics, and quantum/relativistic energy. Each item links to its (future) Obsidian page; the corresponding microsim is saved to the same slug in the p5.js Web Editor. As microsims ship, check the row.
*Slug note:* where Wikipedia uses URL-encoded characters (e.g., `Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation`, `Maxwell%E2%80%93Boltzmann_distribution`), the Obsidian page uses the human-readable form (`Schrödinger_equation`, `Maxwell–Boltzmann_distribution`). The spreadsheet retains URL-encoded slugs for outbound web links.

**Total:** 150 articles · A: 35 · D: 28 · E: 12 · V: 8 · K: 15 · Stat-mech: 12 · Heat transfer: 8 · Renewables: 12 · Phase-space/advanced: 10 · Quantum/relativistic: 10
**Cross-room overlap:** ~25 picks have direct counterparts in [[Engineering]] (the four steam-engine/Newcomen articles, Heat engine, Carnot, Heat pump cycle, ICE, the eight renewable systems, and Combustion all show up in Engineering's queue too) and in [[Geometry]] (the harmonic-oscillator phase portrait, parametric thermodynamic surfaces, and field-line visualizers all import Geo Pattern D parametric machinery). Energy is the *producer* room for `gauge.js`, `stock_flow.js`, `state_diagram.js`, and `vector_field.js` — write those first, since the rest of the queue (and several Engineering picks) compose against them.

## MicroSim spec
- **Recommended sim type:** stock-flow balance
- **Microsimmability score:** 66/100
- **Layout:** drawing region (canvas) on top; control region (sliders/buttons) below.
### Parameters (tunable controls)
- `Energy input rate - 0 to 100 kW`
- `Loss coefficient - 0 to 1`
- `System heat capacity`
### What animates
Energy flows into a [[System|system]] whose stored energy (temperature) rises while losses bleed it out, and an energy-balance bar shows input, storage, and loss staying reconciled.
### Learning objective
See how an energy balance partitions input into storage, useful output, and loss.

> Energy (from Ancient Greek  ἐνέργεια (enérgeia) 'activity') is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light. Energy is a conserved quantity—the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed; matter and energy may also be converted to one another. ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy))
<!-- BEAUTY-PASS-MEDIA:END -->
The first **E** in GENERATIVE.
The Energy room covers classical mechanics, conservation laws, [[Thermodynamics|thermodynamics]], statistical mechanics, and energy systems — 1,090 article rows in the Energy sheet of `Real G.E.N.E.R.A.T.I.V.E.xlsx`, organized under three parent hubs (Energy, History_of_thermodynamics, History_of_energy). Editor conventions for Energy sketches are documented in section 4 of P5 JS EDITOR; reference textbooks are catalogued in energy textbooks. Energy is also the room that *defines* the canonical `gauge.js`, `stock_flow.js`, `state_diagram.js`, and `vector_field.js` shared modules consumed by Engineering, Nuclear, and others.

## Microsims
*This section is specific to Wikitube.* [[Energy]] is one of the four flagships of the Matter & Energy Cluster (`_registry/plans/MATTER_ENERGY_CLUSTER_SECTIONS.md`): the sections below follow the Wikipedia pair's skeleton in the pair's order and each carries one three.js microsim from the shared `/matter/` set — built once by its owner flagship, placed wherever the concept recurs. Every sim is pending until the set deploys; the live cards replace these rows through the set generator, never by hand.
