Types of Energy and Their Examples

The video introduces Mr. Send No, a character who can transform into various types of energy. It explains six types of energy: mechanical, radiant, chemical, electrical, nuclear, and thermal, providing examples for each. The video also demonstrates how energy can transform from one type to another through everyday activities, such as eating, exercising, and rubbing hands together.
