Tim Hunkin (genius engineer who did Secret Life of Machines and owns an amusement arcade of his own machines) talks about his attempt to use wind power for a moving sign at the pier. He explains why wind power for homes is a bad idea due to the large amount of wind required for even low power devices.

From Newsnight on 22/12/06. See http://www.timhunkin.com/a125_arch-windpower.htm for more details on Tim's wind power experiences.

  • Tim Hunkin is brilliant he should be on tv more and make some more Secret Life programmes.

  • Tim is a true legend - he deserves a knighthood for his services to public education and science. It's a sorry tale that guys like him get so little recognition or reward. Tim, if you ever read this - you are the reason I went into medicine and now save lives and educate other doctors!

  • Tim!!!! I'm 30 I'd never heard of you until I came across you and your absolutely superb TV shows on science, you covered everything even now in 2011 pretty much everything you said still stands today you're a genius, if the Queen and Bruce Forthsight can still do TV, you can too!!! You're a ledgend man, I wish I'd have found you soooo much sooner, I love your work and ideas and concepts and ingeniously simple solutions to really complex challenges, love it!! and Rex he's a legend too! Amazing!

  • The interviewer ruined this. Why not just let Tim Hunkin say what he was going to say?

  • Tim Hunkin is really interesting and I don’t know why someone like the History Channel doesn’t use him for more programming!

  • "The Secret Life of Machines" series is amongst the best, educational TV I've ever seen. So memorable and fun.

  • Met Tim at the Pier this week. What a nice man.

  • wow!!! that was vreally quick thanks
