rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country. Inthe 1970‘s, President Jimmy Carter advocated the development of energy education programs tochange students‘ perceptions of energy and alter patterns of

tried toproduce a FC that could convert coal or carbon to electricity directly. These attempts failedbecause not enough was known about materials or electricity. In 1932, Francis Bacon developedthe first successful fuel cell. He used hydrogen, oxygen, an alkaline electrolyte, and nickelelectrodes. In 1952, Bacon and a co-worker produced a 5-kW fuel cell system. The large boost inFC technology comes from NASA. In the late 1950’s NASA needed a compact way to generateelectricity for space missions. Nuclear was too dangerous, batteries too heavy, and solar panelstoo cumbersome. The answer was fuel cells. NASA went on to fund over 200 research contractsfor fuel cell technology. Both the alkaline and polymer electrolyte fuel cells have

Ther-mal Energy Conversion (OTEC), which, among other things, is the transformationof the huge sources of thermal energy trapped in oceans into electrical energy. Theenergy mechatronics laboratory will ask broad questions about the performance ofparticular OTEC plants, the required infrastructure for this technology, the eco-nomic environment needed to make this technology viable, and the use of OTECfor hydrogen generation. OTEC is an area that was an emerging alternative energy source in the 1970’s,but research petered out as a result of the price for oil dropping by 1980. But now,with the price of oil surging, a renewal of interest in OTEC has begun [2, 3, 4].Much of the research emphasis is occurring outside of the U.S. But what is

EducationEnergy efficiency emerged as a dominant societal interest in 1973, the year of the first Arab oilembargo, when the continued availability of energy resources was called into question. Today,attention is returning to the analysis of fossil fuel depletion that was begun by M. King Hubbertin the 1950’s, which shows that conventional oil and gas resources will be exhausted by themiddle of this century.It now seems likely that replacement energy supplies will fall far below present levels and thatall energy supplies will become expensive enough to limit their use. These changes will occurduring the working lives of today’s engineering students. The only reliable solution is toradically improve the efficiency of our energy usage. The present

components and ensuring all the specs were correct. Figure 5: Base design The final aspect of the design process was to create our own custom-fit solar moduletransportation unit in a second wagon. We came up with the idea to cut notches into plywoodpieces to create “fingers” that would support the individual modules and keep them separatedduring transportation. The pieces of plywood would be held in place by shelf support brackets.Then, to ensure the stability of the modules we would secure 2×4’s around the perimeter of theplywood. The end 2×4 was designed with a wing nut to be able to open and close the back endto remove and replace the modules for use. Pipe insulation sleeves would be used to cushion

When the electric power supply is disconnected, the electric machine then acts as a generator.(3) Tachometer The tachometer is used to measure the flywheel angular velocity in RPM. A digital tachometer, ACT-1B [14], displays the rotational speed in RPM or RPS using a speed sensor providing a single (or multiple) pulse(s) per revolution.(4) Supercapacitor The rate voltage of the selected supercapacitor is 5.4V.
