Building Greener Cities
Cities are one of our greatest inventions, they bring us together and drive wealth - but as more of us flock to live and work in them, we need to find ways to make them greener, more sustainable and efficient places to live.

Cities are one of our greatest inventions, they bring us together and drive wealth - but as more of us flock to live and work in them, we need to find ways to make them greener, more sustainable and efficient places to live.
Physicist Dr Niraj Lal explores some of the engineering solutions driving change. To see how we’ll keep our growing population moving he visits the construction site of the largest public transport system ever undertaken nationally and discovers how engineers are finding ways to replace concrete - one of the biggest CO2 emitters in the world – with greener alternatives.

Electrical Safety
In "Electrical Safety", we first look at the dangers of electric shocks by actually demonstrating an electric shock. We then look at the safety features built into our homes and electrical devices that keep us safe from electric shocks.
Voltage, Current, and Resistance
In this episode, we look at how electrical equipment is designed to use the right amount of current for the voltage supply that it's designed for. After a brief recap on electric current, we look at what voltage is and how it is measured. we then...Show More
In this episode, we look at how electrical equipment is designed to use the right amount of current for the voltage supply that it's designed for. After a brief recap on electric current, we look at what voltage is and how it is measured. we then look at the concept of resistance. At a simple level, some materials are conductors and some materials are insulators, but not all conductors conduct equally well. The amount of current that flows in a household appliance depends on the appliance's resistance Show Less
