Energy
Details
Energy is the ability to do work and is measured in Joules. Energy can be converted from one form to other forms but it cannot be created or destroyed. It is best if we can convert energy efficiently. If an electrical generator converts 100J of Kinetic Energy to 30J of Electrical Energy, it has an efficiency of 30%. The other 70 Joules are not destroyed but may be converted to Sound or Heat Energy. The important forms of energy in renewable energy systems include Kinetic, Potential, Radiant, Electrical and Heat Energy.

WATER POWER
You have always wanted to know how energy is won from water? Then this is the section where you want to be. Here you will get more information on our water wheel in Ochsenhausen, a five meter high water wheel which we have built on our own, and which produces 2kW peak power all around the clock.

WIND POWER
Wind produces energy: This section leads you to the wind turbine in Bad Saulgau. It not only produces energy from air, it also has a lot of intelligent measuring systems on board that show us what is happening in the surroundings of the wind turbine.
