How We Got To Now : Cold - Ep 5 Of 6
Man conquered fire almost half a million years ago but only in the last two hundred years have we learned how to make things cold. Steven Johnson kicks off this incredible journey from North America's first and only ice hotel.
Heating, Ventilating, and Air-Conditioning
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality.

How air conditioning works
To beat the summer heat, we turn to air conditioning. But that sweet, cool relief isn’t magic: it’s the science of heat transfer and the chemistry of refrigerants.

Inside the Plumber's Toolbox
The video describes each tool, their benefits, demonstrates their proper use and describes the type of job for which they are most suited. Safety precautions and industry tips are provided.
Inside the Welder's Toolbox
This program demonstrates the safe way welders work with fire, gas, and molten metal. It also profiles the tools used by welders to perform a variety of tasks, including the specific tools and equipment for OFW, GMAW, GTAW, and SMAW, along with a variety of general tools and safety items.
Safe Work Practices in Welding
Learn to identify the work-specific hazards associated with welding including electrical safety, light and heat, confined spaces, manual handling, and metal fumes and gases.
Everyday engineering : understanding the marvels of daily life. Wastewater disposal and treatment.
What happens to the 150 gallons of water that the average person uses and then sends down the drain each day? Delve into wastewater disposal and treatment. Among the details you investigate are the S-shaped trap in a waste pipe and the toilet.
Welding Metallic Materials - Part B
Part B of this program examines gas metal arc welding (MIG), determination of pre-heat and the post heat treatment of welds, narrow gap welding, flux cored arc welding - gas and self-shielded, plasma transferred arc welding, friction stir welding, oxy-acetylene welding and thermit welding. The program shows, with the aid of computer graphics, how the processes work - their advantages, limitations, and typical areas of application of each process.
Welding Metallic Materials - Part A
This is Part A of a two-part programme on welding processes typically used in industry.The programme examines the production of stick electrodes, manual metal arc welding, submerged arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding (TIG) - manual and automated, keyhole gas tungsten arc welding, resistance welding including projection and spot welding, laser beam welding and electron beam welding.The programme shows, with the aid of computer graphics, how the processes work - their advantages, limitations and typical areas of application of each process.

Feature film - Absolute Zero

Air-conditioning, refrigeration, and superconductivity are just some of the ways technology has put cold to use. But what is cold, how do you achieve it and how cold can it get? The two-part special follows the quest for cold from the unlikely father of air-conditioning, the court magician of King James I of England in the 17th century, to today's scientists pioneering super fast computing in the quantum chill near absolute zero - the ultimate extreme cold at minus 273.15C.
