Equipment

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents, presentations or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource show a range of...

Faraday Film

This short film from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) is one of a series of clips which were produced to demonstrate the properties and use of a range of smart materials.

This remarkable clear material, which has the thickness and feel of a sheet of acetate, is coated on one side with an...

Whether we realise it or not, smart materials are making a real impact on everyday life. Kettles that change colour when they boil, garments that plug into MP3 players and batteries that 'report' their condition are all examples of the application of materials exhibiting 'smart' behaviour.

Flywheels in Engineering

This publication, from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), looks at the topic of flywheels and how they can be used to store or smooth energy flows. The book initially provides information for students on the following topics:

• The energy-storage system
• Cyclicity of supply
• Energy and...

Gelwax

This short film from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) is one of a series of clips which were produced to demonstrate the properties and use of a range of smart materials.

This unusual gel may be combined with fragrance compounds, such as aromatherapy oils, to produce air fresheners. However, some...

Generators

Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents, presentations or for use with an interactive whiteboard.
