The Dropper Popper shows energy transformation, when the popper is flipped inside out the popper now has elastic energy, when the popper is dropped the gravitational energy turns into kinetic energy. One example of energy transformation is in the Industrial Revolution, in the 19th century it introduced belt-driven machinery shops powered by factory water wheels. With a power driven rotating shaft, power transmission was used for manufacturing, and machine shops. Belt driven tools are still used to this this, for example the bicycle that transforms chemical energy into mechanical energy, the body eats and turns that energy into powering the bicycle.

Another form of transformation of energy is the bicycle which was invented in 1817 by the Germans. The bicycle transforms chemical energy (food) into mechanical energy (when you pedal). The bicycle is a very popular way of transportation and it also a healthy way of living.
