Continuous Power Generation from Knee Brace
DNTV 2/14/2008 Post a comment When in continuous generation energy harvesting mode, the knee-brace generator generates electricity whenever the knee is extended regardless of whether the knee is accelerating or decelerating.
Lab Tests Show Knee Brace Power Generation
DNTV 2/14/2008 Post a comment When in the generative braking energy harvesting mode, this knee brace isprogrammed to only engage toward the end of the leg¿s swing phase to produce electricity. Subjects wear masks to measure the metabolic energy expended during the test.
NASA Tests Swimsuit in Low-Speed Wind Tunnel
DNTV 2/13/2008 Post a comment NASA Langley has tested more than 60 "tubes" of swimsuit fabric in its low-speed wind tunnel since 2005. Wind tunnel tests produce information about drag that can be directly related to water tests.
The Welland Canal: Driving to St. Catharines
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment A day at the Welland Canal starts driving over to the Seaway offices in St. Catharines. A bulk carrier passes under a drawbridge. Then we see gates opening as a ship exits Lock 5.
History Recorded: Welland Canal Taintor Drives, Gate Winch
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment Here we see the old Taintor drives and gate winch in action. The racks go up. The counterweight comes down. Gears rotate and
the valves open to refill Lock 3 from the reach separating it from Lock 2.
Old Taintor Valve Drives in Action at the Welland Canal
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment Here we get close-ups of the old Taintor valve drives, which includes motors, gears, racks and pions and counterweights with the loud rush of leaking valves in the background. It's history recorded!
Welland Canal's Old Winch System in Action
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment History recorded! Here we see the old winch system that operates the north gates on Lock 3 as a bulk carrier heads west toward Lake Erie. We see the gates in action using this drive, which has about another 45 days to go after 75 years of use.
Lock 7 Control Room, Power Units at the Welland Canal
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment A ship carrying wind turbine blades heads toward Lake Ontario. We take a glimpse at the Lock 7 control room and a below-ground Taintor valve power unit. The video ends at Lock 3, showing a one-of-a-kind Taintor valve and gate mechanism.
Welland Canal Gates in Action
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment Continuing to shoot from the twinned flight locks' center pier, we see a cylinder in action as it opens a gate. Then a tug pulling a barge pulls into Lock 5 in the westbound lane heading toward Lake Erie.
Ships Entering Locks at the Welland Canal
DNTV 2/11/2008 Post a comment A ship enters Lock 4 as we view another ship way up in Lock 7. Seaway Engineer Iqbal Biln explains how the locks work and we see a ship arrestor in action and lock gates closing.
By experimenting with the photovoltaic reaction in solar cells, researchers at MIT have made a breakthrough in energy efficiency that significantly pushes the boundaries of current commercial cells on the market.
In a world that's going green, industrial operations have a problem: Their processes involve materials that are potentially toxic, flammable, corrosive, or reactive. If improperly managed, this can precipitate dangerous health and environmental consequences.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
