It's cool,

Tesla made more than that. Just a suggestion.

Very Nice!

I learned a lot I didn't know about electricity generation. For example, I didn't realize the underpinnings of hydro were so complex. It's not just water flowing over a dam and turbines.

Would love to see some statistics of what fraction of our current power grid is provided by each of the sources shown. Maybe even display an historical time series of that information to see what are the up-and-coming sources, and what sources are on their way out.

Can't wait to share with the kids!

So helpful!

This app has been so helpful in learning about electricity. Before I played around with this app, I didn't know about the Michael Faraday experiment or much about nuclear power plants. It's helped me learn so much and it's a lot of fun to play with! The sound effects are great.
