Isothermal bomb calorimeter for analyzing alternative energy sources Digital Data Systems

Alternative energy refers to energy sources, which are not based on the burning of fossil fuels or the splitting of atoms. The renewed interest in this field of study comes from the undesirable effects of pollution (as witnessed today) both from burning fossil fuels and from nuclear waste byproducts. Fortunately there are many means of harnessing energy, which have less damaging impacts on our environment.

Part of the research involves determining the calorific value (energy content) of the alternative energy source.

Institutions performing this type of research include:

Universities
Research Facilities
Government or private industries

These applications are endless. Most refer to methods related to combustible energy. However, the rising cost of traditional energy has resulted in more research. A shroud of mystery surrounds the un-conventional energy research, but we have heard of measuring the energy absorption of leaves during sunshine, measuring the energy contained in production by-products, and measuring the energy in vegetable oils. The calorimeter measures disposable waste in accordance with ASTM D5468-02.
Many institutions are doing research and development on alternative energy source.
