Non-Renewable Energy Resources | GCSE Physics | Doodle Science

Doodle Science teaches you high school physics in a less boring way in almost no time!

Script:
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy resources; these are coal, oil and natural gas. They were formed from the remains of living organisms millions of years ago and they release heat energy when they are burned. This heat is used to turn water into steam, which is used to turn a turbine, which then drives a generator to generate electricity. There are downsides however, fossil fuels release sulphur dioxide and carbon dioxide which lead to acid rain and an increase in global warming.

Another form of non-renewable energy is Nuclear. The main nuclear fuels are uranium and plutonium. The nuclei of these large atoms are split in a process called nuclear fission to release a great deal of heat. The heat energy is again used to boil water. The kinetic energy in the expanding steam spins turbines, which then drive generators to produce electricity. Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear fuels do not produce carbon or sulphur dioxide. However, they do have the risk of a fault where large amounts of radioactive material could be released into the environment such as the disaster of Chernobyl in 1986.

Following the recent lockdown announcement and school closure in the UK, I thought I would do my bit to help students working from home.

I have created a discord server where you can ask me any questions from GCSE to A-Level Maths and Physics and I will try my best to answer as many as possible.

This will be an open forum and I encourage you to answer other people's questions if you know you can help. Teaching others is a fantastic way for you to make sure you fully understand the topic too!

Please share this link with as many GCSE and A Level Physics and Maths students!

To the people who need advantages and disadvantages <3. A advantage is that It creates energy, Some disadvantages are that some release sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.

Great drawings and animating! My teacher sent me to this and its really helpful, thank you!

[idfk]

where does it even say the advantages- i hate school 😀

[michaeleasterling]

My class watched this. It was neat! Thanks again

[oii]

This is amazing for year 8 - A star for you!

[jonnehproman]

Just when i fear youtube doesnt have enough badass channels; i find this!

cheers man

[pinkrose]

using this for a science project, very short and helpful tysm :))

[channelgone]

I always liked minute physics and ASAP science video making style because of its simplicity. This was so help full thank you very much.

[devinraealva]

did anyone else science teacher make you watch this

[umerjaved]

How much electrical power is non renewable about Nuclear energy? (In Megawatts).

[lolgarden]

Thank u for make these video they have been helping me with school

[mrnickbig]

Good thing oil IS RENEWABLE, and constantly being formed on seafloors.

[Ogrematic]

We need to invest way more into solar and wind.

[soniazareen]

love this, but it is spoken really fast for younger students to grasp. Any way you can slow it down a bit?

[IInstnct]

Can you do one on how fusion works ? Thanks!

[ShunGoukuSatsu]

I always liked minute physics and ASAP science video making style because of its simplicity. And i can *never* have enough of it, so Awesome! subbed!

[thany]

What about fusion? Is it non-renewable?

[Rainiermix]

nuclear energy is a lot more renewable of a resource than what this video says.
