Abstract
We discuss a mechanism of energy production associated with the acoustic an d MHD shocks produced by colliding and reconnecting flux tubes and present the observational results showing a connection between the dynamic changes in the photosphere and the high velocity and heating events in the transiti on region. We suggest that these processes may provide a constant energy su pply for the origin of the fast wind and help to advance studies of coronal dynamics.
