What exactly is renewable energy, and how do we capture it? ☀️💨

In this episode of BrainBuzz, Kellyn, Clare, and the crew are brainstorming the answers to your biggest energy questions! From solar power and wind turbines to turning actual rubbish into electricity—we've got you covered.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:
What is Renewable Energy? Nick and Lauren kick things off by defining how we harness energy from reusable resources like the sun, wind, and water.

The Wind Power Challenge: Clare heads into the Think Tank to show us how to build a DIY anemometer using paper cups to measure wind speed! 💨

How Do Solar Panels Work? We visit a massive solar farm with over 37,000 panels to see how photons from the sun excite electrons to create clean electricity. ☀️

Superconductors & Floating Magnets: Check out a mind-blowing experiment using liquid nitrogen to make magnets levitate! 🧲❄️

Trash into Treasure: Discover how decaying waste releases biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) that can be captured and converted into power for your home. 🗑️🔋

Top 5 Crazy Ways to Make Electricity: From using crowded tube station heat in London to recycling nappies in Japan!
