Electricity - such a fundamental cornerstone of modern life that we don't give it a seconds thought. We assume that it will always work and be there for us. And with the exception of an occasional bad storm interrupting electrical power, this is almost always true.

But it wasn't always this robust. This film collection explores the origins of electricity and electrical science and shows how that early science developed into the robust network of electricity generation and products that need electricity that we all take for granted.

This very early educational film about electromagnetism was filmed in the late 20s. It explains how electromagnets work and their relation to electricity. It then shows how a generator works and how the generator works with the transformers to allow long distance transmission of electricity. The film is a combination of animations and period elecrical production equipment.

This film is all about what happens when there is too much demand for electricity at a given time. It explains how when demand exceeds supply, it can cause the circuits that protect the system to "break" and cause an energy crisis or blackout. It looks at where we are getting our energy and shows how the demand for energy grows each year and puts more and more strain on the system. It also explains how the American public and government look at electrical generation with ambivalence and rounds off the presentation with a promotion that America be energy self sufficient by 1985.
