Description
In this video, designers discuss problems they faced and solutions they found in such areas of design as graphics; animatronics, looking at Jim Henson's Creature Workshop; Handihaler, an inhaler for asthmatics; The Psion 5 handheld computer; Earth Galleries Exhibition event communications; and The Cable and Wireless Adventure powerboat by John Walker.
Description
Behind every invention is a fascinating story. Britt Wray wants to meet inventors to find out what inspires them and what makes them tick. She meets a 15-year-old girl who has created a flashlight powered by the heat of your hand, a quadriplegic doctor who has created a wearable robotic exoskeleton that enables wheelchair bound people to walk upright, and many more.

Description
Engineering Analysis in Applied Mechanics is composed of two basic parts: the mathematical foundations in Chapters 1 through 3 and the final three chapters on specialized topics in engineering physics. Chapters 5 and 6 are devoted to solid mechanics and dynamics. The text surveys the mathematical foundations of applied mechanics. The sections on engineering mathematics includes treatments of simultaneous algebraic and differential equations, matrix...

Jim runs the quality control lab at David Michael & Company, a food flavoring manufacturer. Aliah is a biomedical research technician at The Wistar Institute, a cancer research center in Philadelphia. And Tony, a production mechanic at New Jersey American Water, is the third featured case study in this exploration of applied science and technology jobs. What do all three have in common? They landed their well-paid, technically challenging positions...
Description
In this video, designers discuss problems they faced and solutions they found in the Ford Ka with the Ford Design Team; the Mekong wheelchair by Motivation; Rolls-Royce shaft engine by Geoff Wilde and Rob Howe; RAC control center by Nicholas Grimshaw; ATMs by the NCR design team; and fashion with Ally Cappellino.
Description
What forces are structural materials subjected to? How do materials behave under load? How suitable are they for particular uses? And how are key properties of materials determined? This program examines forces in action, discussing translational and rotational forces and looking at cantilevers. It explains how to measure the properties of materials and looks at stress/strain graphs, Young's modulus, and brittle and ductile materials. It also discusses...
Description
Presenting real an dramatic images, this program explores the forces released by explosions and their impact on materials. It identifies key features of explosions: rapid gas expansion and--with high explosives--shock waves. It also looks at the properties of structural materials, particularly their resistance to being broken apart. It shows how these properties can be measured and used to predict the material's response to forces. It also shows applications...

Follow our expert, high-profile panel of judges as they pick, rank and comment on THE GREATEST EVER's top ten biggest and most powerful marvels of engineering the world has ever seen. Our team puts their picks through the paces, testing out their claims: We crush a large vehicle, shoot at a truck with a machine gun, and demonstrate the fundamentals of hydraulics. Our well-known, eclectic panel then debates and argues the virtues and failings of each...

Description
This video includes actual footage from major manufacturers of robots as well as industries using robots in manufacturing and other processes. In its introduction, the program compares industrial robots to science fiction robots and offers reasons for the increased interest in robots. It then covers basic terminology, fundamental concepts, robot system components, classification of robots, programming, and limitations of robots. A section on industrial...

Description
This documentary looks at the history of product testing. Experts drop, pound, smash, crash, disable, and ultimately break their products to test the marketability of new inventions or document the integrity of or improve existing ones. These professionals test how many bullets a Kevlar vest can withstand.
Description
The importance of error and uncertainty in scientific measurement showcases studies of students estimating and reporting the uncertainties in their measurements. The program deals with these questions: why is measurement important in science? Why is uncertainty inevitable in scientific measurements? The importance of multiple measurements and of averaging the results, outliers, how to estimate the range of uncertainty in a measurement, accuracy, and...
