The future of energy – Did you know?

The video explains how solar power can be used to fly planes, specifically through the use of photovoltaic panels on the Solar Impulse plane. These panels convert sunlight into electricity, which powers the plane's engine. The electricity can also be stored in batteries, allowing the plane to fly even at night when there is no sunlight.

What innovative use of solar power is mentioned in the video?

• Heating water

• Flying a plane

• Powering homes

• Charging mobile phones

What do photovoltaic panels on the Solar Impulse plane do?

• Generate heat

• Convert sunlight into electricity

• Store wind energy

• Produce sound

How is the electricity generated by the solar panels used?

• To power the plane's engine

• To light up the runway

• To communicate with satellites

• To cool the cabin

What allows the Solar Impulse plane to fly at night?

• Backup fuel engines

• Stored electricity in batteries

• Reflective wings

• Wind turbines

What is the main advantage of storing electricity in the plane's battery?

• It improves the plane's navigation system

• It increases the plane's speed

• It reduces the plane's weight

• It allows the plane to fly without sunlight
