    This document provides an overview of the exhibits at the National Luke Lawson Energy Museum. It summarizes each exhibit including solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, biomass, fossil fuels, and nuclear/geothermal energy. Each exhibit describes how the energy source works, whether it is renewable or not, its connection to the sun, and potential drawbacks. The museum aims to educate visitors about various energy sources through interactive displays and explanations of how each harnesses energy and turns it into electricity.

    SOLAR ENERGY BOOTH

    Solar energy is used by separating an electron from the rest of a solar atom and running it through wires to power electric devices.

    Solar Exhibit
    Solar energy has few drawbacks besides some areas not having enough sunlight

    Solar energy directly comes from the suns rays Solar energy is renewable because the sun wont burn out in the near future.

    Solar energy was first invented by Alexandre Edmond Becquerel. Building the first photovoltaic panel at the young age of 19.

    Wind Exhibit
    WIND ENERGY BOOTH
    Wind energy is renewable since wind does not stop moving on Earth.

    Wind energy is used when wind turn the blades on a windmill which turn a generator inside the windmill to produce electricity.

    Wind energy can have drawbacks such as the fact that it wont generate electricity when the wind is not blowing

    Wind is connected to the sun because changes in heat from the solar radiation cause the wind to form.

    HYDROELECTRIC BOOTH

    Hydroelectric Exhibit
    Hydroelectric power is renewable because the water cycle continues constantly on Earth. iPod

    One of the drawbacks of Hydroelectric power is that water turbines arent convenient for most urban areas Hydroelectric energy is used when moving water spins a turbine which generates electricity.

    Electricity The sun causes water to evaporate which starts the water cycle.

    TIDAL BOOTH

    Tidal Exhibit
    Tidal power is renewable because the tides never stop. The Sun controls the tides through its gravitational pull. A drawback of Tidal power is that most areas near the ocean are public beaches, making it hard to find a place to place a tidal turbine

    Tidal energy is used by setting up turbines specially made to use the energy from moving waves to generate electricity similar to Hydroelectricity.

    BIOMASS BOOTH

    Biomass Exhibit
    Biomass is renewable because waste/ food is readily available on Earth. TV Biomass is used by taking organic matter (animals, plants, waste, etc.) and burning that as fuel to turn a generator, like renewable fossil fuels.

    The sun is linked to Biomass because the sun provides food for plants which is the food for animals which is food for other animals.

    Biomass can cause pollution when burned like other things, but it is significantly less pollution than non-renewable options. Electricity

    Fossil Fuels Exhibit


    FOSSIL FUELS BOOTH
    The suns energy is stored in ancient organic material which become Fossil Fuels over thousands of years. When these are burned the suns energy is released Fossil fuels are non-renewable because it takes far longer for them to be created than it does to use them up iPod

    The major drawback to Fossil Fuels is that they cause a lot of pollution an arent renewable. The world uses 82.4 million barrels of oil each day.

    Fossil fuels are used by burning them to turn a generator. Electricity

    Nuclear/Geothermal Exhibit
    NUCLEAR/GEOTHERMAL

    EXHIBIT

    Nuclear energy is used by creating nuclear fission from uranium pellets, and using that heat to turn water in to steam which turns a turbine. Geothermal energy uses heat from the Earth to turn water in to steam and turn a turbine like Nuclear energy.

    Geothermal is renewable because the heat in the Earth is readily available and not actually used up during the process of making energy. Nuclear energy is nonrenewable but will last a long time because the uranium is technically limited, but lasts a long time.

    Nuclear energy causes a small amount of pollution while Geothermal energy needs certain conditions to be harnessed in an area.
