Dr Shini and her team are tasked with updating a 1940s aluminium boat and a bicycle sidecar from the 1950s. With none of our engineers having made a boat before, they are soon at odds with each other over what size and shape it needs to be. Having settled on a design, the basic structure is constructed from wood, beforeaircraft designer Ivan draws on his expertise in composite materials to apply a fibreglass coat. Ivan is also paired with electronic engineer Louiza to reinvent a cycle sidecar. The pair come up with the novel idea of creating automated mechanical stabilizers to assist with starting and stopping. But, after some last minute mechanical malfunctions in the shed, how will their customised bike reinvention cope when Shini tests it out in a busy city centre? And will it be plain sailing for their modernised fibreglass boat when it's taken on the water for its maiden voyage?
