What we have here are two examples of machinesâthe human body and the automobileâthat obey one of the most important laws of physics: the conservation of energy. Written in its simplest form, it says that you can't create or destroy energy, but you can convert it from one form into another.
For sustainable energy resources, see Energy conservation. In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constantâit is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. For instance, chemical energy can be converted to kinetic energy in the explosion of a stick of dynamite. A consequence of the law of conservation of energy is that a perpetual motion machine of the first kind cannot exist.
