The firstpaper studied policy issues related to retail power beaming, while a second dealt witharchitecture options and costs. The third paper in this series has shown that the optimalarchitecture will probably be one where stratospheric buoyant platforms will serve to capture anddistribute power coming from terrestrial plants either directly or via space satellites.

The course is structured with two 2-hour lectures/week for seven weeks; there is no laboratory component.The project-based course attracts full- and part-time graduate and undergraduate students withdiverse academic and CAD backgrounds, and therefore the

Juniors in a mechanical systems laboratory class were able, in teams of four,to develop an analytical model, conduct experiments, and commission their design. The exerciseintegrates subjects from fluids (e.g. frictional pressure drop, pump curves, parallel circuits),technical writing, and engineering economics.For the pipe system presented here the optimum pipe diameters were 1.6 and 1.2 centimeters forthe upper and lower branches respectively. The balance between the initial costs of the pipingand the operating and initial costs of the pump produces a minimum total cost of $1,263 at
