Field Trip Reflection

On Thursday, October 11th, our Physics class (along with power mech class) went to Brandon to check out the Hydro plant and ACC. In my mind, what stands out as the most interesting part of the Hydro plant was seeing inside the burner where all the coal is burned, and just feeling/seeing the intesity of the fire. The most interesting part of ACC was checking out the different classes and seeing familiar faces, because that isn't something you get to do on a daily basis. I think that if we had checked out different colleges/universities as well as ACC that it would've been more beneficial to me, because the part we viewed was pretty much different variations of power mechanics only. On this trip, I learned that the majority of the smoke that you see from Hydro plants is actually just water vapour, and it isn't pollution at all.
