This site presents a selective history of ‘the interaction between technology and the body’. It incorporates automata of the 16th-18th centuries, photographic and cinematographic records of bodies in motion from the late 19th and early 20th centuries (Marey, Muybridge), and contemporary examples of ways in which science is mapping the outer and inner workings of the body, including the Visible Human Project. Previously available at: http://access.tucson.org/~michael/Intro.html, this site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine.

Test Tube is a website featuring videos produced by Brady Haran, filmmaker-in-residence at Nottingham’s Science City. Since 2007 his weekly posts have followed the highs and lows of life as a scientist, showing the reality of life in the lab, from the joys of discovery to the disappointment of funding rejection. The archive contains some 300 videos, and the University of Nottingham, which overseas the project, has extended Test Tube and it remains an ongoing project.

An imaginative and extensive use of animations to visualise concepts concerning acoustics and vibration, constructed by Dr. Dan Russell using Mathematica software. The animations and other, static diagrams accompany informative texts illustrating such topics as Basic Wave Phenomena, Sound Waves and Radiation from Sources, Room Acoustics, Vibrational Modes of Continuous Systems, Optical Ray Tracing, and Matter Rays. Among the delights are the acoustics of baseball bats, and vibrational modes of an electric and acoustic guitar. The site also contains GIF animations and brief movies (using RealPlayer), including the celebrated Tacoma Narrows Bridge, "when engineers don’t account for resonance when designing structures". Guidance on permitted use of the clips for educational purposes is given on the web site.

This two minute MPEG animation features a flyby that starts in outer space, then plunges into the ocean reaching its deepest point and ends by leaving the earth’s atmosphere again. The high quality animation was created by NASA and has been broken up into seven small parts and can be downloaded using Real. The site is part of the Ocean Planet exhibit at the Smithsonian.
