⚡How energy works
From thermodynamics through grid engineering — the physics, the units, and the engineering trade-offs of every major energy source. Six lessons cover energy and power units, combustion and thermal cycles, nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, solar and wind and batteries, and the grid that ties them together. Mechanism-first, evergreen, no predictions.
