Passive Solar and Net-Zero-Energy Homes 32:04 minutes
How much energy can you save with a properly designed house? Would you believe all of it? Trace the trend in passive solar and net-zero-energy homes that are engineered to stay comfortable year-round by exploiting sunlight in winter and shielding against it in summer, with minimal operating costs.
Satellites and Satellite communications 32:25 minutes
Take wireless communications to a higher level: space. First master the rudiments of rockets, orbits, and satellite operations. Then focus on commercial satellite services such as television, radio, Internet, telephone, and navigation. Calculate the ideal orbit for communications satellites, and investigate the workings of the Global Positioning System.
By the end of this course the student will be able to trace the trend in passive solar and net-zero-energy homes, master the rudiments of rockets, orbits, and satellite operations, focus on commercial satellite services such as television, radio, Internet, telephone, and navigation, calculate the ideal orbit for communications satellites, and investigate the workings of the Global Positioning System.
