Catching the Wind
This exhibition focused on wind turbines and the elements necessary for optimal performance. When installing a wind turbine you must take in consideration the wind strength and power. The exhibit also showcased which of the museum’s turbines were running and also how much energy was being produced by each of the active ones.
Conserve at Home
This exhibition focused on conserving energy at home. The exhibition had a section named “Whats Watt” which allowed victors to view and compare the energy levels of household electronics/appliances. Another part of the exhibit focused on preserving heat and alternative ways to keep heat from leaving your household. I found this especially interesting because I was able to walk away with a few tips that will help me reduce my electrical bill once the weather begins to drop in Boston.
Energized
The final exhibition focused on the energy that we need in our every day lives and on how we can use alternative energy sources because coal, oil and gas will eventually run out. The exhibit shed light on wind, solar, water and other sources of self-replenishing energy and other ways to save and consume clean energy.
