2011 Lunar Society Boulton and Watt Commemoration Lecture

The 2011 Lunar Society Boulton and Watt Commemoration Lecture was given by Professor Rex Harris, University of Birmingham on Hydrogen, Magnets, Sustainability and the Birmingham Connection at Birmingham Metropolitan College, Matthew Boulton Campus on Wednesday 5th October 2011. The Lecture considers two major threats facing our planet: resource depletion and climate change and the role that hydrogen and magnet can play in producing more sustainable energy. He also shows why Birmingham and its environs could play a pivotal role in the implementation of carbon-free technologies by building upon its manufacturing and engineering history and creating a much needed manufacturing renaissance.
