Energy Systems The Energy systems course at HudsonFalls will be a laboratory study of energy technology as a resource of society. Emphasis is placed on the most recent technological developments related to each energy source from the very primitive to the most sophisticated. Laboratory endeavors will center upon research activities, experimentation, the design and fabrication of projects, scale models and mockups which utilize or demonstrate generation and application of energy. The primary focus will be on the different forms of alternative energy. As our fossil energy forms are becoming depleted, it is imperative that our community be knowledgeable about the past, present and future energy sources, as well as their influence and interrelationships with technology.
