Dr. Ernie Behringer
Physics and Society: Fuel Use and Fuel Efficiency
Description
Please join us as Dr. Behringer describes the pattern of fuel use in the United States and in Michigan.  Because the current pattern of fuel use cannot be sustained throughout the lifetimes of children alive today, we must turn our attention to significantly improving overall fuel efficiency.  One way to do so is to "lightweight" cars to improve their fuel efficiency, as discussed by Amory Lovins et al. in their book, "Winning the Oil Endgame."

Please note that Dr. Marc Ross (University of Michigan at Ann Arbor) will present "Can Light Vehicles Be Safe?" at Lunch Time Physics on April 13!

Noon, 339 Strong Hall

Bring a sandwich!
Juice, pop, and dessert will be provided.
