The best way to educate young people on the production of alternative energy that has never been witness of this writer is the use of kits, books and the PicoTurbine company projects. The company PicoTurbine produces these things to advance the cause of energy (alternative) and young people looking to the future to see that the environment is currently seeded is now that they inherit then. As the Gerry Ford, major said, "things are as they are now that they have always been before." If we want to change the future world for the better, and then it starts here and with the advent of "green" energy systems now
One of the fundamental concepts of PicoTurbine can be reported: tell me, and I will forget. Show me, and I could remember some of them. Get involved, and I will master. Based on this adage proven kits which produces the company come with suggestions for activities for young people in hands-on learning situations. A suggestion of the company is to demonstrate how heat can be produced by wind energy (company specialty) by using "image" for the heater wire. PicoTurbine found that people usually think of energy as being "cold" wind power and are pleasantly surprised to see how the wind can be used for the generation of heat in the House. Another suggestion for project offerings of the company is to have separate groups in the classroom and then compare their respective wind turbines they have built. They can see those that produce electricity more or less; those that starts with the need at least to wind; and for very young children, those who have the most aesthetic.
There is a basic programme that PicoTurbine has in mind for teacher to instill in their students. Renewable, alternative energy sources include solar, hydro, geothermal and biomass in addition to the wind energy produced. When we use many other sources of energy, reduce us the dependence on our country on the supply of foreign oil, which often come from nations that cannot really be called our "allies". Alternative energy is already cost effective when set against fossil fuels that we so depend on currently.
PicoTurbine noted that wind turbines and solar panels is already leaving their leaders enjoy commercial success. Over the past two decades, the cost of photovoltaic cells, expressed in terms of per-watt is spent close to $ 1,000 to $ 4! It was predicted by analysts that by 2015, the cost per watt would only be about $1 (dollar in today ' hui). Students must also be learned about the cost of fossil fuels: pollution and the degradation of the environment. Air pollution from the combustion of fossil fuels has been demonstrated by studies to increase the frequency of asthma attacks, increasing the effects of allergies and even cause cancer. Switching clean, green energy in alternative forms prevent pollution of the air and help to strengthen the environment.
