How can such a short safety video have so many cool things? Because we're great at what we do. Now watch this already! Show Less

We hope you'll never be in a position to need a fire extinguisher. But if you are, you should probably know how to use one, since throwing it at a fire won't really do the trick. You'll see a few wrong ways to do this, along with the right one. And there might be some s'mores in here, you never know. Enjoy! Show Less

The testing, evaluation and refinement stage is an integral part of the engineering design process. This video investigates three real-world projects requiring different testing methods, uncovering why testing is crucial to achieve finished products that fit the brief. Engineering students will benefit from interviews with engineers who worked on the Deepsea Challenger life support sphere, the Morph Wheels foldable wheelchair wheel, and the Fliteboard electric hydrofoil.

A critical aspect of design is the selection of materials to make a product. Physical and chemical properties, cost and availability, and social, ethical and environmental impacts of materials are all important considerations. This video explores criteria for selecting the best materials for engineering projects by following three exciting case studies: the Deepsea Challenger life support sphere, Morph Wheels foldable wheelchair wheel, and Fliteboard electric hydrofoil.

Scientists and engineers have made great strides in recent years with prosthetics and orthotics. In this programme we discuss how designers are striving to simulate the anatomy and physiology of missing limbs. Though some prosthetics are simple and minimally functional, others are complex bionic artificial limbs with improved designs, using advanced hydraulics, lightweight materials such as carbon fibre, and computer microprocessors and sensors.

This programme sets out in clear, linear fashion how to take care of hand tools and how to maintain their efficiency. Addressing one tool at a time, the program includes demonstrations of sharpening a chisel, a plane, a cross-cut saw, a ripsaw, and more. The importance of maintaining a sharp edge on cutting tools is explained, including the relationship to safety. Different kinds of sharpening stones and their applications are detailed as well as proper technique at the grinding wheel. Terms are clarified as they are introduced, including honing, grinding, wire edge (burr), flatting, stropping, etc. As well as the more obvious tools (saws, chisels, planes), the program devotes time to others including scrapers, lathe tools, drill bits, marking tools even clamps and the woodworker's vice.
