Robert and Jack spend the day with a staggeringly clean example of one of the very earliest electric cars: A 1901 Waverly Model 22. Built at a time when EVs outnumbered ICE cars, it is an incredible insight into the genesis of the electric car – but what happened? Why didn’t EVs catch on the first time around? Bobby and Jack go for a (very slow) drive to try to find out.
How Wave Power Could Be The Future Of Energy
The ocean has an incredible amount of power potential. China’s brand new Wave Energy Converters has been making a lot of news recently. While this ocean power device isn’t the first of its kind, its sheer size represents a breakthrough for this underutilized but potent branch of the renewable energy family tree. What is wave energy generation, and how does it compare to other renewables like solar panels and wind turbines? And if wave energy is so great, then why is it lagging behind solar, wind and others? Let’s dive into the ocean of renewable energy, where the waves may hold more untapped potential than the sun. Maybe the surfers were right all along.
Scientists Control Human DNA Using Electricity | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Scientists from a university in Zurich have released a paper detailing their experiments in controlling human DNA using electricity. They have showed the proof of concept for an “Electrogenetic” interface. the researchers say the technology will help advance medical wearable devices, and could help them apply gene-based therapies. Is this the future of wearable medical devices? Palki Sharma explains

What is electricity? – Science for Kids – Episode 1
Educational video for children to learn what electricity is and how it is produced. Before electricity was invented, people used candles for light. Now, with just a push of a button, we can light up our houses. Not only that, with electricity, we can power trains and amusement park rides! We can create electricity by using the energy from natural resources around us like fossil fuels, wind (eolic energy), water (hydraulic energy) or even the sun (solar energy). Energy transported through cables and wires or it can be stored in batteries. This video is an excellent resource for elementary school.
