Synopsis:

Energy and the mankind: Energy and entropy in a biosphere, impact of the mankind on energy fluxes in the biosphere. Relationships between energy use, energy sources and level of living. Impact of different energy sources on environment.

Effective use of non-renewable and renewable energy sources in European conditions (advanced methods of coal burning, micro-turbine, cogeneration of electric energy, heat and cold, heat pumps). Minimizing of impact of energy production and use on the environment.

Basics of measuring:

1.Nuclear energy: measuring of ionizing radiation, radiating background

2.solar energy: measuring of solar radiation and its spectral and directional analysis, measuring of effectiveness of solar cells of different types.

3.wind energy: collecting of data and its analysis

4.biomas and its burning: analysis of emisions
