Answer 2

Either A or B, but I would ask the physics people...

Answer 3

A.

A generator is a good choice, but it uses chemical energy (gas powered).

mechanical energy, sum of the kinetic energy, or energy of motion, and the potential energy, or energy stored in a system by reason of the position of its parts. Mechanical energy is constant in a system that has only gravitational forces or in an otherwise idealized system—that is, one lacking dissipative forces, such as friction and air resistance, or one in which such forces can be reasonably neglected.
