Energy Experimental Kit

1. Energy Experimental Kit Renewable Energy Oil & Gas Gas drives water out Gas from liquid and solid Gas pressure drives oil out of the ground Strong suction apparatus Deep pump like in the oilfield Water can transmit force Raising oil with water A force that pulls toward the outside The centrifugal pump’s trick How much force does the pump have? Using a water column as a pressure gauge Corners use up force Problems with the long line The narrower the faster Troublesome gas Viscosity’s effect The pump has to struggle Protection against temperature changes Gas under pressure Captive pressurized air Electronic alarm circuit Electronic gas pressure control • Matt black versus glossy white • Updraft power station • Solar radiation concentrated • Wind and resistance • Lift in the airflow • From airfoil to wind turbine • Assembling the wind-electric power station • The optimal pitch • Large number of blades – small number of turns • Testing other blades • From stand-alone turbine to wind farm • Voltage from the solar module • Current from the module • The solar module does work • Modules like it cool • Solar modules are weather-sensitive • Power from the waterwheel • From the waterwheel to the water turbine • Current from the hydroelectric power station

2. Energy Experimental Kit • Power Generation • A power plant in trouble • Circular distribution • Two power plants • The solar cell as power plant • The hand generator as power plant • Caution, reflux! • The electrical reflux valve • Two houses – one short circuit • An overload network • Parallel or in series • Power Transmission • A simple circuit and the direction of the current • Light is something you have to work for • Lots of work – plenty of power! • Alternating current by hand I • The changeover switch • Alternating current by hand II • Line loss – direct current • Power Distribution • How is heat generated? • Heat’s wanderings • Heated air expands • Making steam • Binding carbon dioxide
