Waste-to-energy is a process that creates electricity or heat by burning waste. It involves incinerating waste to produce energy. Most waste-to-energy processes directly generate electricity through combustion or produce a fuel like methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels. A bow and arrow converts the potential energy in an archer's arm into potential energy in the bent bow when drawn back, and releases that potential energy in the bow to impart kinetic energy to the arrow on release.

2. ? Waste-to-energy or energy-from-waste is the process of
creating energy in the form of electricity or heat from the
incineration of waste source. is a form of energy
recovery. Most processes produce electricity directly
through combustion, or produce a combustible fuel
commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or
synthetic fuels.
3. In the case of a bow and arrow, the energy is converted
from the potential energy in the archer's arm to the
potential energy in the bent limbs of the bow when the
string is drawn back. When the string is released, the
potential energy in the bow limbs is transferred back
through the string to become kinetic energy in the arrow as
it takes flight.
