Overview:
Energy conservation states that energy cannot be gained or destroyed but instead is transferred from one form to another. Understanding how energy is transferred from one form to another allows engineers to design efficient applications using energy. We know that many sources of energy won’t last forever and that many sources have negative consequences on the environment. In the past, individuals were forced to harness power that humans or animals created from the energy stored in food or from surrounding resources like wind, flowing water, heat from the sun, or combustible materials like wood. This section is designed to provide you with an opportunity to investigate thermal energy and alternative energy applications. You will explore and gain experiences relating to solar hydrogen systems and thermal energy transfer through materials.
