In this, our final episode of season 4, our junior students, in their "Future Energies" project, talk about one of the most if not the most important topic when it comes to renewable energies and our energy future : the question of energy storage.

Let Natacha, Damian, Matthieu and Ambroise take you on a tour of all the various technologies we have and are workign on that will allow us to storage all the excess energy that is goign to waste, everythign from reversible dams, to inertial and gravitational storage systems to futuristic batteries.

It is a tour de force to finish of another fantastic season of Physics Bytes ! so enjoy!

A slight detour in this episode as we talk about one of the more polarizing topics when it comes to dealign with our carbon emission : the question of Carbon Capture and Storage.

On its surface what is more positive and encouraging that finding and developign technologies that allow us to capture emitted carbon directly out of the atmosphere ! The chemistry and physics behind are fascinating.

However, as you will see, our four experts Gabriel, Alexandre, Luan and Doryan arent necessarily in agreement on whether this is somethign worth investing in or not.

Listen and decide for yourself !

With Hydrogen, we're really looking into the future of our energy supplies.

As Juliette, Lucy, Sara and Solene will explain, Hydrogen isn't just a new form of energy, not just a potential boon for clean energy but also a potential energy vector to rival electricity ... perhaps.

I personally learned a lot about this that I did not expect and i hope you will too.

Dont forget to leave a comment if you have any thoughts or questions on the topic.

Enjoy !

While it's been around for literally thousands of years, geothermal is probably one of the lesser knowns of renewable energies.

Well Lina, Maroussia and Salomé are here to remedy that. They will go over the various forms of geothermal energy that are being exploited today for everythign from individual heating to electricity generation, and go over the good and the not-so-good of this natural energy.

Enjoy!

So, if there's one renewable energy with a lot of ... uh... noise about it, it has to be wind energy. Easy to set up (relatively speaking) , cheap (relatively speaking) and yet controversial.

Tatiana, Matilde and Alicia will go into all the details regarding this important yet divisive renewable energy, about the current state of things, and then they talk about some of the wild (and i mean wild ) new ways being thought up by scientists and engineers all over the world to try and exploit the power of wind !

Enjoy !

So if you're wandering what water is doing here as a a form of 'future' enery, thenyou'd be right, partially.

Water has indeed been a sourse of energy for us literally for thousands of years ... but ... we're talkign about new ways of exploiting this nearly unlimited source of energy to fuel humanity's need for energy and electricity.

Lea, Sovann, Raphael and Elisa are going make their way thorugh all the various forms of electricty production from electricty, from dams, to usign rivers, to tides, to waves ...

You are sure be surprised at some point. Enjoy !

In this, our first episode of the Junior class's "future energies" project, we're goign to talk about one of the most controversial means of producing electricity : Nuclear Energy.

There is no form of energy more divisive, more misunderstood and yet with more potential to help us in our climate crisis than nuclear Energy.

Emma, Celeste, Colombe and Clement will help us untangle all the fact from the fiction around this promising form of energy.

Enjoy !

Einstein's theory of relativity, one of the most revolutionary scientific (and philosophical) ideas of the last century if not of all time ... time dilations ... length contractions ... mixing and re-arranging of simultaneity and potentially cause and effect ... !!!

Rose and Rayan, two senior students, do a wonderful job of giving you an introduction to one of the most fascinating and mind blowing scientific theories of all time!

Enjoy.
