I am working on an experiment that may potentially become a product for sale. I need to find the answer to this most perplexing problem. Thank you for your time.

Kinetic energy can be converted to electrical energy(in a generator) this electrical energy can be converted to potential chemical energy in a baterry that can be converted to thermal energy when it passes through a curcuit with resistance (like an electric heater or a lightbulb (that also gives off light).
heat is kinetic energy... the faster that molecules move within a material the hotter it is
pretty much any type of energy can be converted to any other type with the right mechanism(s). I am guessing the product you are working on is homework:-)

Don't be silly, kinetic energy is energy that is given off when something is moving. It only exists when an object is moving and therefore cannot be stored or recycled. Maybe it would work if you found a way to make the batteries move and use the energy that is given off, but I don't think that it would be possible.
