√ In the electric eel, some 5,000 to
6,000 stacked electroplaques are
capable of producing a shock at up to
500 volts and 1 ampere of current (500
watts).
√ The electric eel has three abdominal
pairs of organs that produce electricity:
the Main organ, the Hunter's organ, and
the Sachs organ. These organs comprise
four‐fifths of its body. These organs are
made of electrolytes, lined up so that
the current flows through them and
produces an electrical charge.

Course Description (Course # ECH3010‐42)
The subject of "Energy and the Environment" is dealing with basic fundamentals of energy‐
related engineering, effective ways of utilizing non‐renewable energy sources such as coal
and oil, renewable energy technologies such as photovotaics (solar cells), fuel cells and
hydrogen energy. Working principle and materials for various solar cell technologies are
also introduced in detail. Along with renewable energy technologies, equally important are
the quantitative analysis of the contamination of the atmosphere and surface waters by the
toxic byproducts of energy use and the development of technologies to reduce the
contamination. Finally, evaluation of the basis for global warming, analysis of its effect and
possible solutions to solve the problems are discussed in this lecture.
Course Goal
To explain the basic concept of energy and energy‐related technologies; to develop
effective ways of utilizing non‐renewable energy; to develop effective methods for high
efficiency renewable energy‐related technologies by analysis of their working principle and
structures
