The invisible engineering of everyday life

Make heat, logic and electrical work visible. Explore why a cold room has a warm side and what insulation actually changes.

Everyday TechnologyInsulation and heat transfer

How can insulation keep warmth in—and heat out?

Open a house wall. Swap its added layer, make it thicker, and reverse the temperatures to see why insulation helps in winter and summer.

Everyday TechnologyRefrigerators and heat pumps

How does a fridge move heat out of a cold space?

Look through a cold room and follow its refrigerant loop. Count the heat removed and the work added, then try putting both sides in the same room.

Machines & MotionElectric motors

How does electricity make a motor spin?

Power a motor. Reverse its direction. Add a load and watch speed, current and turning force find a new balance.
