Local Heroes: Royal Institution Special

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

In the last programme of the series, Adam Hart-Davis celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Royal Institution - made famous by pioneering scientists Michael Faraday and Humphry Davy.

Hart-Davis makes an electric motor from a meat-pie tin and shows how it was proven that when horses gallop there is a point when all four feet are airborne. A new series is planned.
