S4 – combined heat & power January 17, 2008
Posted by mrmackenzie in : Energy Matters , add a commentWe started looking at the Energy Matters topic this week with a focus on energy efficiency. One of the newer ideas we discussed was combined heat and power, where energy normally wasted in an industrial setting finds an application in heating a residential area. A similar scheme called Caithness Heat and Power was installed in Wick last year.

Generating Electricity March 13, 2007
Posted by mrmackenzie in : Energy Matters , add a commentSomeone asked me about the animation I used last week when we were looking at the generation of electricity. The file is a java applet, this means you will need to install java on your computer if you do not have it already. You can view the animation here. If it won’t run for you, try downloading the free java software.
