Smart Grease
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.
Smart grease is a particularly sticky and viscous gel with almost magical shear characteristics. It can be used in prototype...
This series of short films from the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP) was produced to demonstrate the properties, and use, of a range of smart materials.
Smart materials are materials that have one or more properties that can be significantly changed in a controlled fashion by external stimuli, such as...
Smart Wire
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.
'Smart wire' is a shape memory alloy (SMA) which changes its length with a useful pulling force when a small current is passed...
An introduction for pupils and students to 'smart' materials with special reference to shape memory alloy (SMA) in wire form. The book examines the fascinating characteristics of SMA wire and gives examples of applications. It shows, for example, how a linear actuator can be made from wire and activated just by...
Solar Heating and Power
Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents and 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 are related to...
Solar Thread
