Abstract :
The author gives a summary of Einstein´s Special Relativity limited to the kinematical part I which deals with the dilation of time or slowing down of moving clocks and the contraction of length of objects moving in space, relative to an observer at a resting reference point. Lastly, Einstein´s relativity is applied to illustrate current energy conversion engineering applications (solar energy conversion, laser weapon recoil velocity)
