Future Energies : Storage

In this, our final episode of season 4, our junior students, in their "Future Energies" project, talk about one of the most if not the most important topic when it comes to renewable energies and our energy future : the question of energy storage. Let Natacha, Damian, Matthieu and Ambroise take you on a tour of all the various technologies we have and are workign on that will allow us to storage all the excess energy that is goign to waste, everythign from reversible dams, to inertial and gravitational storage systems to futuristic batteries. It is a tour de force to finish of another fantastic season of Physics Bytes ! so enjoy! -- Credits -- Intro Music : "Feelin Good" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Episode Music : "Mirage" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Future Energies : Carbon Capture & Storage

A slight detour in this episode as we talk about one of the more polarizing topics when it comes to dealign with our carbon emission : the question of Carbon Capture and Storage. On its surface what is more positive and encouraging that finding and developign technologies that allow us to capture emitted carbon directly out of the atmosphere ! The chemistry and physics behind are fascinating. However, as you will see, our four experts Gabriel, Alexandre, Luan and Doryan arent necessarily in agreement on whether this is somethign worth investing in or not.

Future Energies : Hydrogen

With Hydrogen, we're really looking into the future of our energy supplies. As Juliette, Lucy, Sara and Solene will explain, Hydrogen isn't just a new form of energy, not just a potential boon for clean energy but also a potential energy vector to rival electricity ... perhaps. I personally learned a lot about this that I did not expect and i hope you will too. Dont forget to leave a comment if you have any thoughts or questions on the topic.

Future Energies : Geothermal

While it's been around for literally thousands of years, geothermal is probably one of the lesser knowns of renewable energies. Well Lina, Maroussia and Salomé are here to remedy that. They will go over the various forms of geothermal energy that are being exploited today for everythign from individual heating to electricity generation, and go over the good and the not-so-good of this natural energy.

Future Energies : Wind

So, if there's one renewable energy with a lot of ... uh... noise about it, it has to be wind energy. Easy to set up (relatively speaking) , cheap (relatively speaking) and yet controversial. Tatiana, Matilde and Alicia will go into all the details regarding this important yet divisive renewable energy, about the current state of things, and then they talk about some of the wild (and i mean wild ) new ways being thought up by scientists and engineers all over the world to try and exploit the power of wind !
