Engineering the Impossible
Just how far can engineering go? This program explores the feasibility of constructing several extraordinary projects such as a Europe to Africa Bridge or a tunnel across the Straights of Gibraltar. Could engineers really construct a mile high skyscraper or floating ocean cities? State of the art computer graphics and real world scientists help explain these technological dreams. Current engineering advances, like a revolutionary new vacuum, make these engineering marvels a distinct possibility!
