Fast and powerful, they come in a hundred shapes and a thousand colors; to some, motorcycles symbolize freedom; to others, they simply stand for trouble; episode race back in time and see how, for over a hundred years, motorcycles inspired riders.

S8, EP39 "Limos"

Limousines have been stretched to greater and greater lengths--as has the notion of what can be done inside them; you can have a rolling disco in a stretched SUV, go for a rumble off-road in a monster truck limousine, or take a direct hit.

Modern Marvels

S14, EP10 "Mad Electricity"

Each flip of an electric-light switch attests to the genius of Nikola Tesla, creator of the alternating current (AC) system; the Tesla coil; energy-efficient bulbs.

Celebrating ingenuity, invention and imagination on a grand scale, "Modern Marvels" tells the amazing stories of the doers, dreamers and sometime-schemers who create everyday items, technological advancements and man-made wonders. From the Statue of Liberty to distilled spirits, and canals to bridges, no subject seems out of reach. Science, technology, electronics, mechanics, engineering, architecture, industry, mass production, manufacturing, and agriculture are just some of the many topics that have been covered during the long-running series.
