How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

We take so much for granted. The alarm clock buzzes and we make our way to the bathroom and turn on the light. We reach over and turn the water on and it’s there. We flip the switch on the electric razor. We really do take it all for granted. The en­ergy that flows through the wires to the switch that you flip comes from a device called an alter­nator. Yes, somewhere close to where you live is a power plant where that energy that makes the world go around is created.

Alternators come in all kinds of configura­tions. Your car or truck even has one. That’s right. An alternator is needed to charge the battery and provide electric power for your vehicle. If you have a recreational vehicle (my wife’s idea of really roughing it) you probably use a generator to power that air conditioner that would be tough to live without these days. This device is handy for watching TV, too.
