在一班致力塑造新世界的工程师的推动下,一场工程学革命正在全球各地进行中。他们不断突破科技界限,设计出一部又一部改写人类生活的超凡机器,目标是携手创建一个更洁净、更环保的未来世界。
今集会看看一场风力发电竞赛,风力发电即是利用稀薄的空气产生巨大的能量。工程团队正在英格兰海岸兴建全世界其中一个最大型的离岸风力发电场,恶劣的环境增加了工程的难度。与此同时,一个挪威团队亦在建造史上第一个浮体式风力发电场,好处是可以设置在风力大的深海水域中。
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.
