Energy education via online video

If you mainly visit YouTube for videos of pranks, plane crashes, and funny skits, you may be surprised to find there's a channel devoted to educational material from universities and independent educators. Some of the offerings on the Youtube.com/edu channel are devoted to energy issues. A particularly interesting section of the channel is offered by Stanford University. Its Energy Seminar videos are produced by Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment and Precourt Energy Efficiency Center. They are comprised of an interdisciplinary series of talks primarily by Stanford experts on a broad range of energy topics. Examples include solar geoengineering, global transition to electric vehicles, fuels from sunlight using nanomaterials, and many others.

The channel is here:

And for something a little more entertaining on an energy topic, try this video from the Engineer Guy on how to make a tungsten filament for an incandescent light bulb: http://www.engineerguy.com/videos/video-lightbulb.htm
