Summary From the world's biggest mega truck to one of the world's fastest trains...from the world's most advanced aircraft carrier to a revolutionary airship....from a super smart heavy lift ship to an ingenious heavy lift helicopter.... ground breaking CGI animation explodes the machines apart to uncover the extraordinary inventions hidden under their skin that enables the teams who drive, fly and sail them to be at the top of their game.This series transforms our understanding of the machines around us. It takes us inside these machines in close up detail, to explore what helps these elite ships, trucks, trains and aircraft rise above all other machines.This episode uses stunning CGI animation to explode open a 50,000-ton Mega Lift Ship - the MV Treasure - to reveal the extraordinary technology that it depends on to carry a 12,000 tonne oilrig on its back halfway around the world. In Singapore, the oilrig construction capital of the world, this $220 million oilrig has just come off the production line, and oilman Manuel Olea needs it delivered to the Gulf of Mexico pronto. This colossal challenge falls to the MV Treasure - a metal monster longer than two American football pitches, and packing the power of 80 Hummers.
