... THE PRINCIPLE OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY Energy can neither be created not destroyed, but can only be converted from one form to another. The result of a non-conservative force is often to remove mechanical energy and transform it into heat energy. Heat energy is the kinetic or vibrational energy of ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
