[FUEL CELLS AND PORTABLE POWER SOLUTIONS]

Professor Don Sadoway takes on the energy problem by arguing for fuel
cells, and explains why hydrogen is not the solution to our need for
portable power. The conversation with the Museum audience is lively and
controversial and takes the concept of science salon/cafe to a new
level. A must see.

Donald R. Sadoway

Department of Materials Science Engineering
Margaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow

[THE ART OF ENGINEERING]

This presentation has two infomercial-like moments with James Dyson and
MIT Dean of Engineering Tom Magnanti demonstrating the innovative Dyson
Dual Cyclone vacuum cleaner-the first and only bagless cleaner. All
vacuuming aside, Dyson tells a remarkable story of inspiration and
innovation, the lessons learned from creating more than 5100 prototypes
and the challenges of bringing a new product to market.
