What energy transformations occur in a Ferris wheel?

well there's the motor which is Electricity to kinetic and Heat, sound(Wasted Energy), the lights which are electrical to light and heat. and there's a lot more but these are the important ones

In a Ferris wheel, energy transformations include the conversion between gravitational potential energy at the top and kinetic energy at the bottom. The forces at play affect the angular velocity and angular momentum, demonstrating conservation of energy, yet some energy is dissipated as heat thus requiring an external energy source to maintain motion. ;

A Ferris wheel transforms electric energy from its motor into kinetic energy to rotate. The kinetic energy is further converted into gravitational potential energy as the seats rise, and back to kinetic energy as they descend. Some energy is also converted into heat and sound due to friction and movement during operation.
