Modern Marvels takes us beyond the suds of how the modern car wash works to the workings of modern nuclear plants. How we clean our cars to how we produce millions of watts of electricity from enormous generators, find all the answers and ask more questions with the Modern Marvels DVDs. Machines – what would we do without them?
