  • TED Ed (Animation) - How do solar panels work? 05012016

    The Earth intercepts a lot of solar power: 173,000 terawatts. That’s 10,000 times more power than the planet’s population uses. So is it possible that one day the world could be completely reliant on solar energy? Richard Komp examines how solar panels convert solar energy to electrical energy.

  • TED Ed (Animation) - The world's biggest battery looks nothing like a battery, 22022021

    Discover the world’s biggest battery! As of 2020, the world’s biggest lithium-ion battery is hooked up to the Southern California power grid and can provide enough power for about 250,000 homes. But it's actually not the biggest battery in the world: a pair of lakes are. How can lakes be a battery? Explore how inventors are rethinking what a battery can be, and how these surprising solutions could help us achieve a sustainable future

  • TED Ed (Animation) - How much land does it take to power the world, 16032021

    Explore the sustainability of fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewable energy and how much space each of these power sources use. No matter how we make electricity, it takes up space. Coal requires mines, and plants to convert it into electricity. Nuclear power takes uranium mines, facilities to refine it, a reactor, and a place to store the spent fuel safely. Renewable energy needs wind turbines or solar panels. So how much space would it take to power the whole world?

  • TED Ed (Animation) - Can 100% renewable energy power the world? 07122017

    Every year, the world uses 35 billion barrels of oil. This massive scale of fossil fuel dependence pollutes the earth, and it won’t last forever. On the other hand, we have abundant sun, water and wind, which are all renewable energy sources. So why don’t we exchange our fossil fuel dependence for an existence based only on renewables?

  • TED Ed (Animation) - Iceland's secret power, 29072021

    Explore how geothermal energy— the heat in the Earth’s crust— is being used to create renewable electricity and power. While the weather in Iceland is often cold, wet, and windy, a nearly endless supply of heat bubbles away below the surface. In fact, almost every building in the country is heated by geothermal energy in a process with virtually no carbon emissions. So how exactly does this renewable energy work? Two primary models for harnessing the planet's natural heat are explored
