Examines the theory and practice behind gas and steam turbines.
Vibrations occur in most mechanical systems. The different types of oscillations which cause vibration are analysed and the concepts of damping and resonance are explained. The application of these ideas in...
Discusses the latest developments in theoretical physics. The goal is to unify the four forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force into a single law. Einstein died...
Energy can be stored in a flywheel or a spring and used for a variety of practical purposes. Shows a flywheel used in an experimental train to store and release energy, and of dampers and springs in action....
Two examples of dynamic analysis connected with motor cars are analysed in terms of free body diagrams. The first is the action of a single piston in an internal combustion engine. The second is the motion...
Velocity diagrams are an important tool in helping to solve problems in engineering. Shows two vehicles approaching a cross-field as an example, and presents and analyses some examples of engineering...
Components of structures fail in various ways - under tension, by compression, under shear or by buckling. Simple models and animation are used to illustrate these failure modes. Three balsa wood structures...
Traces the design and building of the Docklands Light Railway in the East End of London, looking at the project in terms of the hard systems. Discusses the situation posed by the decline of the London Docks...
Explains the management of nuclear waste from its production to final disposal. In Britain much of this takes place at Sellafield where high level waste requires special treatment and the most modern...
The hard systems method is applied to the process of choosing the optimum light rail system for the area. Choices had to be made on the route, type of system, station designs etc, and to help in the...
