Powering the Future
Explore Solar, Wind, Water, Biomass, and the Engineering of Renewable Energy Systems
How can sunlight, wind, moving water, and organic materials be used to produce useful energy?
Powering the Future introduces young readers to the basic science and engineering principles behind renewable energy systems. It explains how engineers use natural energy resources and design technologies to convert, transfer, and manage energy.
Readers will explore:
The book explains renewable energy concepts through clear examples that connect scientific ideas with technologies found in the real world. Readers can discover how solar panels convert light into electricity, how wind turbines use moving air, and how flowing water can drive turbines and generators.
The book also introduces the engineering process behind energy systems. Engineers must consider available resources, materials, efficiency, environmental conditions, system requirements, and safety when developing energy technologies.
By exploring different renewable energy sources, young readers can develop a better understanding of how energy is produced and transformed and why engineers use different technologies for different environments and applications.
Powering the Future provides an introduction to renewable energy engineering for young learners who are curious about science, technology, energy, and how engineered systems work.
Explore the science of energy. Understand the engineering behind renewable energy systems.
