PHYS 104: Sustainable Energy - Lab
This course addresses methods of producing sustainable energy, especially those that are carbon-neutral and have a decreased impact on global warming and climate change. Energy generation from wind, water, solar, geothermal, fusion and fission processes, and biofuels will be discussed. Examples of these types of energy production methods will be demonstrated in the lab and at Geneseo's eGarden field station. Student experiments will be performed each week and there will be a final project assigned to small working groups.
