Clean energy visionary Lei Zhang loves the Gobi Desert — the most Mars-like place on Earth. Why? Because of the promise it holds to provide the free, abundant solar and wind energy to fuel humanity’s next leap forward. Sharing the story...

Every 24 hours, wind generates enough kinetic energy to produce roughly 35 times more electricity than humanity uses each day. And unlike coal or oil, this resource is totally renewed each day. So how can we harness this incredible...

Wind is an ever increasing source of power worldwide, which means wind farms continue to be constructed. And choosing where to place those farms seems straightforward, but it might not actually be best to place the in the windiest places!

Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel, we discover how massive offshore wind farms and oil rigs are built, operated, and maintained in some of the world’s harshest environments.

Pupil outcome: I can create content for a digital product to meet specified criteria. Key learning points: - Content should be carefully chosen to engage an audience and communicate with clarity. - Information found on the internet may...

Pupil outcome: I can describe rotations using the standard unit of degrees when compared to a right angle. Key learning points: - Some objects rotate or spin and this is measured in degrees - Rotation can be more than a right angle >90...

Pupil outcome: I can describe how renewable energy resources can be used to generate electricity. Key learning points: - Renewable energy resources will not run out because they are replenished more quickly than we use them up -...

Today, Helper Cars are ready to build a new wind turbine. The logging truck has to deliver three blades for the turbine. The police car and the monster truck come with the logging truck and monitor the safety. The blades have arrived,...

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy is neither created or destroyed - just converted from one form to another. This means that we cannot make energy from nothing and energy does not just disappear. Energy, however, can...
