DESCRIPTION:
(from Science Channel's press release, October 2018) Every mystery and danger of the sea is a technological challenge waiting to be overcome. From deep-sea danger to mega holiday cruises, helping rivers flow, and harvesting power, a new Science Channel eight-episode series dives in deep to unlock the ultimate challenges of extreme maritime environments. MEGA MACHINES: SEA GIANTS premieres Thursday, October 11 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. MEGA MACHINES: SEA GIANTS highlights the new tools and technology that are pushing the limits in the world's most unruly bodies of water. The series looks at a state-of-the-art ocean miner used to extract the salts used to manufacture modern plastics. Two new multi-mission fireboats in Long Beach, California that can project water or foam 600 feet and higher than a 20-story building. The world's biggest tidal turbine used to harness water as a source of unlimited energy. A heavyweight dredging project in Charleston, South Carolina that if successful, will completely transform its harbor, allowing this southern city to boast the deepest port on the Eastern Seaboard. |
