Summary Ideas that changed the world - Michael Mosley and team pick 12 inventions and explore how they have changed the way we live our lives. They explain how these inventions came about - from sparks of genius to steady incremental improvements hammered out in workshops - and separate myth from reality in the lives of the great inventors. Power is the first programme in the series. Power tells the story of three of the most transformative inventions of all time; the steam engine, the electrical generator and the steam turbine. Power is part of the innovative BBC history series Genius of Inventions which looks at some of the most important inventions of all time
