Energy
Different types of energy in constant transformation, different types of energy that surround us. Starting from a short story on energy since industrial revolution to this day, we will deal with traditional and classical renewable energy issues and with those that are still to come. A 90 minute tour will guide visitors to discover energy and its fundaments.
Labs
Methane boilers, pellet stoves, district heating. And you, how do you warm yourself? Your answer can make the difference. Through pie charts we will examine the main heating sources in Italy and in Europe and their impact on climate. And you ….. if you were the European Minister of Energy, which decisions would you make?
From our cells to the Sun, from tides to winds, from petroleum and its brothers to nuclear power: energy surrounds us. But do we have enough energy for everyone? How can we use it without wasting it?
Let’s take a look to nowadays technologies, their pros and cons, to the world energetic balance and to our life style. Without energy nothing works, but we should use it more consciously!
It makes trombone play, it heats our households, it makes oceans move, it helps redwoods grow. It’s energy!
Let’s discover its features on a tour with the help of electronic guides, electrical discharges, basketballs, tea bags. Because energy is everywhere and the Energy Lab is the right place to discover it.
What’s the energy value of what we eat? Do we satisfy our daily energy requirements?
With the help of a self-made calorimeter we will measure the energy content of a chip. Will it correspond to what shown on the package?
PLAYDECIDE! RENEWABLE ENERGY
Why consuming limited resources instead of using proper renewable energy?
An absorbing debate on renewable energy will help us to set up the basis for a more proper and responsible energy consumption.
NEW! DEMOSOFC: THE ENERGY YOU WOULDN’T EXPECT
What’s hydrogen and how does a fuel cell work? What’s the difference between fossil fuel energy production and biogas /methane energy production? Which are the applications and risks?
Through some mockups we will examine DEMOSOFC project technology at SMAT’s Waste Water Treatment Plant in Collegno (TURIN).
