Physics energy modules
- Kill-a-Watt: Watts, Amps, Volts (Ohms)
- VOM use: Ohms, Volts, P=VI = V2/r, PF = 1.00
- Tea maker: P=VI, energy = kWh = power x time
- HELCO: cost of 1 kWh, cost for tea
- Solar cookies: cost per cookie
- Starbucks: cost per cup (roast coffee?)
- Power factor: 1.00=ohmic (thermal), < 1.00 LC (motor)
- Lighting: incandescent, CFL, LED Lumens/Watt, cost/Watt, lifespan
- Renewable energy: ROI, TCO solar thermal, PV, wind
- Elab2 telemetry analysis: magnitude, time of day, shape of curve
- Energy hunt: users and outlets
- PV efficiency: W/m2, Watts, area, solar radiation
- PPA solar area: efficiency, W/m2, ROI, TCO
- Wind turbine power: wunderground, KHIKAMUE2, elab2. hpa.edu
- energy audit: TED units, union, cottages
- Solar thermal energy harvesting: flow, temp ∆, solar radiation W/m2
- Super thermos lab: Q = kAt∆T/d, decay rate, Tt = To e-kt
- Energy cost per shower: dorms
- Energy storage: Pb, Lithium, fuel cells, hot water
- Electric vehicles, transportation, EV, PHEV, HEV
- Concentrated solar power: melting rocks, solar oven
