When a ship sinks, lots of factors, like the ship’s materials, the water quality, and the depth of the seafloor all play a role in determining how long the ship will last down there - as a result, the Titanic will be gone in fifty years,...

While they are incredible engineering marvels, we don't think about bridges all that much. But there's a good reason we should all be thinking about our bridges, since there's a weird reason that more of them might be at risk of failure...

Mark Shaw demos Ultra-Ever Dry, a liquid-repellent coating that acts as an astonishingly powerful shield against water and water-based materials. At the nano level, the spray covers a surface with an umbrella of air so that water bounces...

Salting roads in the winter is pretty commonplace in areas of the world that see freezing temperatures, but it isn't the only solution.

Steel and plastic are essential to much of our infrastructure and technology. Steel is strong and hard, but difficult to shape intricately. Plastic can take on just about any form, but it's weak and soft. Wouldn't it be nice if there...

This week we’re headed out to sea for some marine engineering. How do we design ships to handle aquatic environments? How do we deal with marine life and corrosion and all of the other problems that come with engineering in the ocean?...

Hot water tanks last for years, but when they're on their last legs, there are symptoms you can look for to determine whether they need to be replaced.

Welcome back to the FLUCTUS channel to witness the plans of the United States to change the engines of its oldest bomber, the B-52. Fluctus is a website and YouTube channel dedicated to sea geeks. Whenever you are curious or an...

¿Por qué envolvemos alimentos en papel de aluminio para cocinarlos? ¿Por qué se oxidan los metales? Las reacciones de oxidación lo explican. Descubre que circunstancias han de darse para desencadenar estas reacciones y cómo...

The RMS Titanic is disappearing. In 20-30 years, the wreck of RMS Titanic might not exist. The so-called “unsinkable” ship sank in 1912, and now, over a hundred years later, due to iron loving microbes eating the ship.

A mixture containing a metal element, made by melting the different elements together.

Why do we cook our food wrapped in aluminium foil? Why does metal rust? It all comes down to oxidation reactions. Discover what happens to cause these reactions, and how to stop them. Chemistry - ReactionsLearning Points. The combustion...

Waterfalls and gorges are closely linked as erosional features. Explore how each are formed and the different types of erosion at work. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. There are four forms of river erosion: attrition,...

We investigate the conditions needed for rust to form. Four iron nails are placed under different conditions. One is half submerged in water. Another is completely submerged in boiled water. One is half submerged in salt water. The final...
