Bingo!! Give that man a Cigar!!

The term for a device that transforms - or "Changes" - energy from one form to another is a Transducer.

The Pickups on an Electric Guitar are Transducers, because they change the vibrating magnetic fluxes created by the strings, into corresponding levels of electricity [in AC form].

Speakers are Transducers, since they convert electrical energy [once again, AC], into corresponding sound energy.

An Incandescent lamp is a Transducer, since it converts any type of electric power into light energy [heat, white and UV light].


To answer the REDOX question:
If serious - the REDOX reactions are how things rust, plus what occurs with "Contact Potentials" that get created when dissimilar metals become contacted [like Aluminum and Steel, or Iron]. When we run across this in the field, it's when we have to wrap a section of Aluminum Flex that is, or may, become contacted to other metallic pipes - like copper water lines.
REDOX reactions are the principle operations of Electrochemical cells [batteries].

If Joking - That's probably the best answer [Linked Image]


Now to Neutrinos:

They are so amazing to me because they defy some laws of physics!!
They penetrate dense matter without any loss of energy! They can, and do, blast right through planets - earth included - without losing any speed, nor losing energy levels.
They travel instantaniously, rather than over some related time. When they leave a star, they travel to some other receiving point at almost the same time - that point can exist light years away! And they do this even after going through a planet!
They exist in relatively straight line fashion, rather than in a Wave formation like Photons do.
Photons may bounce around inside a star for thousands and even millions of years before finally escaping - where Neutrinos escape instantly.
Finally, they travel so much faster than light it makes Photons look like Turtles!!

I am trying to figure out why they are needed in Nature! [Linked Image].
