radiant energy - heat (infrared spectrum)
nuclear energy - (decay of atoms)
mechanical energy ( potential, kinetic)
heat energy ( mechanical to heat is breaking, or pounding )
sound energy ( acoustic energy or energy of vibrating medium)
chemical energy ( formation of new compounds)

Radiant energy, as well as convective energy and conductive energy, is used for radiant heating.[17] It can be generated electrically by infrared lamps, or can be absorbed from sunlight and used to heat water. The heat energy is emitted from a warm element (floor, wall, overhead panel) and warms people and other objects in rooms rather than directly heating the air. The internal air temperature for radiant heated buildings may be lower than for a conventionally heated building to achieve the same level of body comfort (the perceived temperature is actually the same).

One method of releasing nuclear energy is by controlled nuclear fission in devices called reactors which nuclear chain reactions are initiated, controlled, and sustained at a steady rate, as opposed to a nuclear bomb, in which the chain reaction occurs in a fraction of a second and is uncontrolled.

A hammer is a tool which utilizes mechanical energy to do work. The mechanical energy of a hammer gives the hammer its ability to apply a force to a nail in order to cause it to be displaced. Because the hammer has mechanical energy (in the form of kinetic energy), it is able to do work on the nail. Mechanical energy is the ability to do work.

When you rub your hands together, they get warm. The energy of motion when you move your hands back and forth is changed into heat by friction. Quite often we don't know how much heat energy is produced by the interaction, but we do know that all the kinetic energy your hands put into the interaction (that is now gone) went toward producing the heat. In this case, energy is still conserved, but since we do not know how to count up the heat energy, we can not predict anything useful about this interaction.

For sound energy, voices, whistles, horns and musical instruments are most common examples.

Striking a match, combining vinegar and baking soda to form CO2 Gas, breaking light sticks releases chemical energy.
