Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time Episode 3

This week's edition we look at perpetual motion machines and the quest for free power, including one that took place in the bush with a woodsy scientist who didn't understand the implications of friction, wood and a town full of buildings constructed of wood and wood byproducts.
