Hands-on ROV Skills at Energy Event
The Glasgow Science Centre recently opened the Powering the Future exhibition. It occupies half of Floor 2 of the Glasgow Science Mall, UK, shining a spotlight on one of the biggest challenges facing modern society; the future of the Earth’s energy supply. Through a series of over 60 interactive exhibits, visitors are asked how we can meet increasing energy demand reliably, and at an acceptable economic and environmental cost. The AC-ROV 100 gives visitors the experience of piloting an underwater micro ROV. The budding pilot will be able to fly through an 8-inch pipe which is located in the purpose-built tank.
From feeling the force of wind in a hurricane booth, piloting an underwater ROV and generating power in a dance-off, visitors will learn about ways we can harness energy and recognise the benefits and limits of different sources. From how energy is generated, to how it is transformed, stored and transmitted, you can discover what happens behind your power switch.
