Queen wird immer ihresgleichen in der Musikgeschichte suchen: Dieser Film feiert die Band rund um den Ausnahmesänger Freddie Mercury. Er zeigt den kometenhaften Aufstieg der kreativen, aber unangepassten Musiker und zeichnet einen Teil des Lebens des Sängers bis zum sagenhaften "Live Aid"-Konzert nach.
Anhand des Beispiels von Meereswellen vermittelt der Film dem Zuschauer die Möglichkeit, alle Formen mechanischer Wellen zu verstehen. Die Wellen und ihre Interaktionen werden stellvertretend für andere Wellen mit Formeln, Grafiken, Aufnahmen und Animationen verständlich erklärt und dargestellt.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart war ein Genie, das seinesgleichen suchte. Diese Dokumentation zeichnet den Lebensweg des Ausnahmekomponisten nach. Sie führt den Zuschauer vom ersten Klavierunterricht beim Vater über den kometenhaften Aufstieg bis hin zu den persönlichen Niederlagen und Kämpfen des Künstlers.
Kaum jemand mag Wagner und Verdi gleich gern - zu unterschiedlich waren die beiden großen Komponisten: Verdi mit seinen lieblichen Melodien und der lebensnahen Tragik und Wagner mit seinen gigantischen Heldensagen. Der Film trägt zahlreiche Blickwinkel und Meinungen zu diesem spannenden Thema zusammen.
Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde in England die Dampfmaschine erfunden. In 150 Jahren veränderte sie unsere Welt. Mit ihr kamen Licht, Lärm und Energie ins Leben der Menschen. NZZ Format widmet sich dem mechanischen Kraftprotz und stellt fest: Dampfmaschinen waren die Geburtshelfer der Globalisierung.
Ray Charles konnte nicht sehen, doch er lehrte die Welt eine neue Art zu Hören: Wie kaum ein Zweiter kombinierte er Musikstile, die zuvor gänzlich widersetzlich erschienen, und erlebte eine spirituelle Reise durch Berg und Tal, die sein ganzes Leben andauerte. Diese Biografie ist eine Liebeserklärung.
The moon does not shine itself, but only reflects the light of the sun. That is why the phases of the moon depend on it. The film shows how the moon changes in our perception depending on the angle it is at to the sun. At an angle of zero degrees it is new moon, at an angle of 180 degrees it is full moon.
Mass is one of the seven basic physical quantities. This video gives an understandable definition of this quantity, names its unit of measurement and explains how it is related to the force of weight. Colloquially and outside the physical context, mass is also called weight, which can lead to confusion.
This video explains the concept of a magnetic field. It clearly describes some essential effects of magnetism and illustrates the concept of field lines. The film shows what the Earth´s magnetic field is all about, it clarifies geographical and magnetic poles and goes into the phenomenon of declination.
Lorentz force describes the effect of magnetic fields on moving electrons. It acts perpendicularly to the magnet´s field lines and to the direction of the electrons. The film shows how to determine the direction of movement of the electrons using the three-finger rule and where this force is used for technical purposes.
Light travels at very high speed in a vacuum as well as in the air. As soon as it hits a denser material, however, its speed is slowed down. The film explains the refractive index, demonstrates why light rays are deflected in water, for example, and shows what angle is needed for a total reflection.
Levers are simple machines, or more precisely, they are mechanical force converters that magnify the force which is applied. The film explains the law of levers and shows the different forms of levers. Examples of different lever tools are given, such as scissors, tweezers, wheelbarrows, and nutcrackers.
The subject of this video is energy. There is the mechanical, the thermal and the electrical energy. Energy is not produced or consumed, but transformed. The film explains this using the law of conservation of energy. It is shown how one form of energy is converted into another, and the unit joule is explained.
Inertia is a physical property of all bodies. The video explains the law of inertia, according to which all bodies remain at rest or in uniform motion until an external action stops it. We encounter the law of inertia everywhere in everyday life, as the film illustrates with examples such as car and train travel.
Optical lenses are transparent, light-refracting bodies with at least one curved surface. The video introduces the different forms of lenses and how they work and shows their uses. Important terms such as focal point, refractive power and focal length are explained and the two lens formulas are derived.
A electromagnet is made up of a coil with an iron core around which a magnetic field is generated as soon as electricity flows. This film shows how electromagnets can be used, for example as relays for high voltage circuits, for doorbells, in magnetic resonance therapy, and in particle accelerators.
Electricity flowing through a wire generates a magnetic field. If this wire is twisted into a coil, the magnetic fields of the individual turns merge into a single stronger field. An iron core in the middle can intensify this effect. With this description, the video explains the construction of an electromagnet.
The subject of this film is electromagnetic induction. A conductor loop suspended in a magnetic field illustrates how mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy. A brief history of electromagnetic induction is given, the AC and DC voltages are explained and areas of application in industry are shown.
Georg Simon Ohm discovered that voltage and current are interdependent. This video explains electrical resistance, Ohm´s law and the relationships that can be derived from it. The influence of length, strength, and temperature of a conductor as well as the calculation of electrical resistance are further topics.
The electrical resistance is defined as the quotient of the voltage and the strength of the current flowing in a circuit. At the same time, resistance also refers to a component with which a certain resistance can be realized in an electrical circuit. The film explains both terms using understandable examples.
We take it for granted in everyday life that electricity "flows". This video explains electrical circuits and the movement of electrical load carriers within them. It also looks at conductors and insulators, at the effect of negatively and positively charged materials on one another, and at induction.
In this video, the basic functional principle of the electric motor is explained. Among other things, the structure of the rotor, the stator, and the commutator in the DC motor are clearly illustrated. The film then shows the different uses of permanent magnets and electromagnets in the electric motor.
If we perceive something as heavy, this is due to the high mass of the object with its comparatively low volume. The density of an object is defined as the ratio of its mass to its volume. The film uses a number of everyday examples to show how the mass of substances can vary greatly for the same volume.
Optical devices influence the course of light rays through lenses. The film shows how lenses are made in the eye and in visual aids such as glasses. The much stronger lenses of magnifying glasses and microscopes are also examined in detail. It is explained how exactly the multiple magnification is achieved.
Nikola Tesla, Entdecker des Wechselstromprinzips, wollte schon um 1900 Energie drahtlos übertragen und sie so für jedermann frei verfügbar machen. Seine Vision ging nicht in Erfüllung. Tesla ist heute fast vergessen. Diese Dokumentation macht sich daran, alles über ihn herauszufinden.
Taking water as an example, the film explains the different states of aggregation of a substance. Below 0 °C, water is solid – it exists as ice. At its melting temperature of 0 °C it takes on liquid form, and at boiling temperature of 100 °C it changes to the gaseous state at normal pressure.
With the colours blue, yellow and purple, all colours can be produced. This is due to subtractive colour mixing: the colours act like a filter that prevents you from still seeing the original colours. The video explains understandable how the absorption spectrum of the filter makes some colours visible.
Amy Winehouse war ein absolutes Ausnahmetalent. Ihre unverwechselbare Stimme und ihre persönlichen Texte bewegten Millionen Menschen in aller Welt. Ihr beruflicher Erfolg ging aber Hand in Hand mit Drogensucht und privatem Unglück. Die außergewöhnliche und verletzliche Musikerin wurde nur 27 Jahre alt.
