When you don't have to worry about criteria like that ordinary, mechanical energy rules supreme, and that's dictating where equilibrium lies.

如果你不担心像这样的要求,通常的机械能就占据主要地位，并且决定平衡位于何处。

This is visualizing the process of the conversion of mechanical energy into chemical and electrical energy very nicely.

这一模拟恰到好处地演示了,机械能到化学能和电能的转换过程。

In some sense, that's one reason to associate this as a kind of energy, H just like mechanical energy u or enthalpy H, it's the minimum free energy state that is the equilibrium state under the relevant conditions.

在某种意义下，这是我们把这些物理量称为能量的原因，就像机械能U和自由焓，具有最小自由能的状态在特定的条件下,就是平衡态。

So the two points of interest of research are how does it work this conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy how are we able to bring back lost hair cells to cure deafness.

因此这项研究的两个关键点,一是机械能,是如何转化成电能的,我们能不能通过修复受损的毛细胞,来治疗耳聋。

This conversion from a mechanical energy into a chemical energy can be nicely visualized when one fills a hair cell with a sensitive die that responds to the calcium ions that influx into the cell.

如果在毛细胞中注入,对钙离子敏感的物质,可以精确地模拟,这一机械能到化学能的转化过程。
