Machines in Motion

on BBC Two England

by Professor Leonard Maunder
The Royal Institution's 154th Annual Christmas Lectures for Young People A six-part series on why and how things move, especially machines. 5: Fluids and Flight
In recent times there has been swift progress in fluid mechanics, and its application to machines. We see how air keeps an aeroplane up, how steam or gas drives turbines to power electric generators or to produce thrust in jet engines, and how golfers and cricketers take advantage of aerodynamics.
