Sinopsis

Alternative Energy Sources looks at the different options for replacing fossil fuels. It explores how the energy potential of the oceans can be captured using wave power generators, how solar energy could be captured with solar paint and solar satellites, and how nanocrystals boost photovoltaic cell charge. It discusses the environmental concerns surrounding genetically modifying crops for use as biofuels, whether or not all cars could be run on hydrogen fuel cells, and how underwater kelp forests could be the key to boosting biogas production.

Reseña del editor

"The Science at the Edge" series focuses on developments and theories in science that are of widespread popular interest and give rise to controversy and public concern. Each book focuses on 'how science works' with applications and cutting edge examples, and features details of the development or discovery. They explain the underlying science and techniques, and review the issues and opinions involved (both scientific and non-scientific), all using a variety of examples and evidence. These revised editions include the latest developments in these fast-moving areas of science.
