When we look around our homes, sheds and garages we see an array of household objects that with one click of a button or twist of a knob will spring to life, and - most of the time - do exactly what we want them to. But how on earth do these objects work? To find out, James May (fuelled by endless cups of tea) heads into his workshop with thousands of little pieces to assemble some of our most beloved and recognisable objects from scratch to see what it actually takes to get them to work.

There is technology in almost every aspect of our lives. How Do They Do It exposes this technology and gives you an in-depth look at how things work. From airport baggage handling to space shuttle lift off, How Do They Do It will show you how it all happens.

By using CGI to "explode open" everyday machines to reveal their individual parts and inner workings, MACHINES: HOW THEY WORK explores the hidden working of machines of all shaped and sizes - from parking meters and car washes to fire hydrants and escalators. Plus, the series heads into the factories where these machines are built to meet the larger than life characters who design and construct them.

Get ready to dive deep into the inner workings of the world we live in. How Stuff Works takes you on a journey through the fascinating mechanics of everyday life. From the technology that powers our devices to the science behind our favorite foods, no topic is too big or too small. Join us for an eye-opening exploration of the stuff that makes our world go round.
