Far more concrete is produced than any other man-made material. Annual production represents one tonne for every person on the planet. It is an incredibly versatile material, and is used in almost all major construction projects. It does, however, have two serious problems which may threaten its use in the future.
In this Professorial Lecture Peter Claisse discusses the issues surrounding concrete production.This is also available to view on CUTV - Coventry University TV.

Peter Barron is an enigma; he left one of the best and most high profile jobs in British television journalism – Editor of Newsnight – in the summer of 2008 of his own violation. He jumped ship to the digital world of Google where he is Head of Public Relations for the UK and Ireland. Peter’s spell at the helm of Newsnight was the longest since the programme’s creation and the most creative – he brought in blogs, vodcasts and more.
In this Coventry Conversation you can hear Peter talking about the future of digital innovations.

Apologies about the sound, but we simply had to show you this lecture given by Dr Alex Moulton.
Dr. Moulton’s professional life has been devoted to the research and development of innovative designs.
He developed The Moulton Bicycle, introduced in 1962, and pioneered small-wheeled, full-suspension thinking which was acknowledged as the most radical change in bicycle design for over 60 years. Over 150,000 were made and they still hold world and national speed records, testimony to their fundamentally advanced design.
He is also responsible for car suspensions from the rubber cone spring on the BMC Mini, to the Hydrolastic Austin 1100 and its successor, the Allegro (in collaboration with Sir Alec Issigonis) and the Hydragas on the Austin Metro, Rover 100 and MGF.
Between them, these systems have been fitted to some 8 million cars.
This lecture covers how his innovations in engineering have gained him a Queens Award, the CBE, 3 honorary doctorates, and have made him an icon for budding engineers. You can also watch it on Coventry University TV
