Energy Encyclopedia VR

Experience energetics in virtual reality!

The Virtual Reality extension of Energy Encyclopedia showcases detailed, technically accurate 3D models of energy facilities. In this virtual exposition, you can explore over 20 animated, cross-sectioned, and scaled-down models. Additionally, you can visit 8 life-size power plant sites in person. The exhibits cover five stages: Nuclear Fission Energy, Nuclear Fusion Energy, Solar Power, Hydro Power, and Wind Energy.

You will learn the operating principles of various types of power plants, including their major components and how they function.
