Wind is all around us on earth and in a different form, out in space; a powerful force which shapes our environment and which increasingly, we are trying to tame and harness. With Bridget Kendall to explore some aspects of wind, Dr. Max Platzer, the distinguished aerospace engineer, once involved in Nasa's iconic space launches, who is now focused on how to harvest energy from the powerful winds of the world's oceans using a massive fleet of sailing ships with the ability to convert wind energy into hydrogen. Earth and space meteorologist Professor Chris Scott from Reading University in the UK, who tracks the solar winds which come to us from space to probe how they affect us on earth and who has new research linking wind with lightening. And from Boston in the USA, artist Nathalie Miebach, who weaves extraordinary sculptures out of storm data she takes from weather stations.
