Alternative Energy Institute (also known as AEI) is West Texas A&M University's alternative energy research branch. Formed in 1977, the program is nationally and internationally recognized, and along with research provides education and outreach around the U.S. and the globe. ==History== AEI was founded at West Texas State University (now ''West Texas A&M University'') in 1977 by Dr. Vaughn Nelson, Dr. Earl Gilmore and Dr. Robert Barieau during the 1973 oil crisis. The physics department at West Texas State was already experimenting with wind power and these three individuals took the initiative to found a department to concentrate upon the study of wind. The basic goals of the department were: * To test wind turbine designs. * Improve on current aerodynamic design. * Teach public about the state of wind & solar technology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alternative Energy Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
