Description
1. The first part of the video features the designer of the 'Pink vacuum cleaner' which uses the cyclone principle to produce a more powerful cleaning machine. -- 2. The second part of the video lo...oks at Mark Sanders' portable bike. -- 3. The third section looks at a robotic arm known as the 'Puma', it demonstrates spot welding and spraying. Peter Evans explains how the joint movement servo system works in a loop where a computer output system is amplified, which drives a motor which turns some gearing which moves the joint.
