All Technologies

The machines that convert, move and store energy, from the steam engine that opened the fossil age to the solar cells, batteries and heat pumps of the transition now underway. General engineering outside energy conversion stays with the technology atlas; a machine belongs here only when converting, moving or storing energy is its purpose.
