Early Physics Films Explaining Atomic Energy, Measurements,
Mechanics of Automobile Design, X-rays, Light Radiation, Electromagnetism
and More
This collection of seven vintage physics films displays how the
application of physics and and science in general has been shaping
our world for decades. There are seven films in this collection
with a total run time of 1 hour 25 minutes.
Here are the films in this collection:
1) A is for Atom (1953) - This animated classic takes you on a
tour of the atom and how its energy can be harnessed for the peacetime
application of atomic energy.
2) Around the Corner (1937) - This film explains how the automobile
differential works to help a vehicle safely turn corners without
skidding or losing control.
3) Precisely So (1937) - An exploration of the tools and techniques
used to measure microscopically small quantities of materials.
4) Science in Action: The Flow of Heat (ca. 1956) - This Science
in Action episode explores heat's properties and how it flows through
materials.
5) Taking the "X" out of X-Rays (ca. 1940s) - An exploration
of everything related to X-Rays and radiation and how it is being
used to benefit mankind.
6) White Magic (1940) - An examination of the physics and science
of light and how that knowledge is used every day in practical applications.
7) Electromagnetism - This silent 1920s film explores electromagnetism.
It explores how an electromagnet works, how they are used and the
key role they play in generating electricity and electrical transmission
from hydroelectric sources.
