How It's Made

Season 28 Episode 10: Hollow Disk Pumps, Palm Sugar, Yachts

Closely spaced rotating disks are machined and installed inside pump housings to move liquids containing delicate or suspended material. Sap collected from palm trees is filtered and slowly reduced into concentrated palm sugar, while moulded hulls receive engines, navigation systems, plumbing, electrical equipment and fitted interiors to become luxury yachts.
