tim hunkin
Tim Hunkin's 1987 TV series episode on how vacuum cleaners and related household machines work, remastered and upscaled in 2021. It is part of the six-episode 'Secret Life of Machines' series with hands-on demonstrations of everyday technology.
Recommended as a clear, charming explanation of how machines work, including a demonstration of building an electric motor.
