Welcome back from winter break
Review fall quarter
Preview winter quarter: Electromagnetism
Looking ahead – this week
Jigsaw on Energy App.C: New
technologies
• Weather workshops
Energy Systems, EJZ
Fall  Winter
Energy: mechanical & thermal 
electromagnetic energy and weather
Seminar: power sources for human use 
Sun, climate, and electric power
Calculus: differentiation (rates of changes)
 integration (summing accumulations)
Electromagnetism and the Sun
Electromagnetism:
• How is electrical power generated and
transmitted?
• Electricity & magnetism, AC & DC
Sun, Earth, and Climate:
• Sun emits electromagnetic radiation
• Earth’s climate and weather
• Effects of solar storms on Earth
• Role of the Sun in climate change
Looking ahead – this week
Tonight: Seminar in the CAL (downstairs)
• Tesla video
Tuesday:
• Weather and Electric Charge
Thursday:
• Calculus: Integration
• Seminar: WebX + Sun video
Next Monday:
• 5-minute updates on your research activities
Jigsaw on New energy technologies
A. 374-378: Efficiency + small hydro
B. 378-382: Enhanced oil recovery, clean coal
C. 382-386: Resource recovery + heat pumps
D. 386-391: Wind
E. 391-397: Synfuels + environmental concerns
F. 397-401: Unconventional fossil fuels
G. 402-404: Geothermal
H. 405-410: Energy storage
I. 410-412: Heat storage
J. 412-414: Magnetohydrodynamic generator
K. 418-422: Fuel cells + H economy
Workshops: Tsunamis and Hurricanes
Tsunami energy:
Source = gravitational potential energy
Effect = kinetic energy of water waves
Hurricane energy:
Source = latent heat of fusion of water
Effect = kinetic energy: eye travels, winds swirl
Calculate, and compare to power plant.
