Grand Challenges of Engineering
The World needs a clean, cheap and accessible form of generating electrical energy. One of the potential grand challenges of Engineering is to provide energy from fusion.
Why using Nuclear Fusion?
- Abundant fuel
- No Greenhouse gases directly emitted
- Safety
- No long-lasting radioactive waste
Read the following article: How Seawater Can Power the World Stewart C. Prager, The New York Times, published: 10 July 2011, accessed 2 September 2011 (Providing Energy from Fusion)
MATLAB Demos
Although Earth's Topography and Viewing a Penny impressed me, I really liked the interactive environment of the 3-D Surface Plot Demo. The graph is fascinating.
