在一班致力塑造新世界的工程師的推動下,一場工程學革命正在全球各地進行中。他們不斷突破科技界限,設計出一部又一部改寫人類生活的超凡機器,目標是攜手創建一個更潔淨、更環保的未來世界。
今集會看看一場風力發電競賽,風力發電即是利用稀薄的空氣產生巨大的能量。工程團隊正在英格蘭海岸興建全世界其中一個最大型的離岸風力發電場,惡劣的環境增加了工程的難度。與此同時,一個挪威團隊亦在建造史上第一個浮體式風力發電場,好處是可以設置在風力大的深海水域中。
Engineering the Future - Wind
All over the world an engineering revolution is underway. Driven by dedicated individuals intent on shaping a new world. They are pushing technological boundaries to create extraordinary machines that will change our lives. Theirs is a vision of a cleaner, greener world and together they are Engineering the Future.
This film follows the race to generate vast power from thin air - the wind. One of the world’s biggest windfarms is being built off the English coast where the harsh conditions pose great challenges for the team. Meanwhile, a Norwegian team are striving to build the first ever floating windfarm that can be deployed in deeper water with stronger winds.
