Cambridge Museum of Technology Grand Reopening This Weekend
Cambridge Museum of Technology is an important industrial heritage site at the heart of Cambridge. Following years of redevelopment, the museum is now hosting a grand reopening event.
Gas turbine, Cambridge Museum of Technology
The old gas powered apparatus for pumping Cambridge's sewers, an absolutely marvelous old piece of engineering. I believe that the boilers at the old pumping station stared out by burning household waste from Cambridge, pumping sewage out of the city, but were later replaced with coke and then gas boilers, and then finally electric pumps.
The site now houses a collection of steam technology, printing press and a some scientific instruments manufactured in Cambridge. Its really worth a visit. I took this video this afternoon at Cambridges annual steampunk meet-up.

Cambridge is a city on the River Cam in eastern England, home to the prestigious University of Cambridge, dating to 1209. University colleges include King’s, famed for its choir and towering Gothic chapel, as well as Trinity, founded by Henry VIII, and St John’s, with its 16th-century Great Gate. University museums have exhibits on archaeology and anthropology, polar exploration, the history of science and zoology.
Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. Cambridge became an important trading centre. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century, although city status was not conferred until 1951.
The University of Cambridge, founded in 1209, is one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The city's skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital and St John's College Chapel tower. Anglia Ruskin University, evolved from the Cambridge School of Art and the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology, also has its main campus in the city.
Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen with industries such as software and bioscience and many start-up companies born out of the university. More than 40% of the workforce has a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average. The Cambridge Biomedical Campus, one of the largest biomedical research clusters in the world, is soon to be home to AstraZeneca, a hotel and the relocated Papworth Hospital.
Parker's Piece hosted the first ever game of Association football. The Strawberry Fair music and arts festival and Midsummer Fairs are held on Midsummer Common, and the annual Cambridge Beer Festival takes place on Jesus Green. The city is adjacent to the M11 and A14 roads, and Cambridge station is less than an hour from London King's Cross railway station.

The #University_of_Cambridge (legally The Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Cambridge) is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge, #United_Kingdom. Founded in 1209 and granted a royal charter by King Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university.[10] The university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the townspeople.[11] The two 'ancient universities' share many common features and are often referred to jointly as 'Oxbridge'. The academic standards, history, influence and wealth of the University of Cambridge has made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world.[12]
#Cambridge is formed from a variety of institutions which include 31 constituent Colleges and over 100 academic departments organised into six schools. Cambridge University Press, a department of the university, is the world's oldest publishing house and the second-largest university press in the world. Cambridge Assessment, also a department of the university, is one of the world's leading examining bodies and provides assessment to over eight million learners globally every year. The university also operates eight cultural and scientific museums, including the Fitzwilliam Museum, as well as a botanic garden. Cambridge's libraries, of which there are over 100, hold a total of around 15 million books, eight million of which are in Cambridge University Library, a legal deposit library. The university is closely linked to the development of the high-tech business cluster known as 'Silicon Fen'. It is the central member of Cambridge University Health Partners, an academic health science centre based around the Cambridge Biomedical Campus .
In the fiscal year ending 31 July 2018, the central university, excluding colleges, had a total income of £1.965 billion, of which £515.5 million was from research grants and contracts.[4] At the end of the same financial year, the central university and colleges together possessed a combined endowment of over £6.4 billion and overall consolidated assets of £12.2 billion.[4] The latter figure was £400 million higher than the previous financial year. By both endowment size and consolidated assets, Cambridge is the wealthiest university in the United Kingdom.[13]
As of 2019, Cambridge is the top-ranked university in the United Kingdom according to all major league tables. Cambridge is ranked the world's second best university by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings,[14] ranked 3rd worldwide by Academic Ranking of World Universities, 6th by QS, and 7th by US News.[15][16][17] Cambridge was ranked #10 in the 2016 and 2018 Nature Index Annual Tables, which measure the largest contributors to papers published in 82 leading scientific journals.[18][19][20] According to the Times Higher Education ranking, no other institution in the world ranks in the top 10 for as many subjects.[21] It is a member of numerous associations and forms part of the 'golden triangle' of English universities.
The university has educated many notable alumni, including eminent mathematicians, scientists, politicians, lawyers, philosophers, writers, actors, monarchs and other heads of state. As of March 2019, 117 Nobel Laureates, 11 Fields Medalists, 7 Turing Award winners and 14 British Prime Ministers have been affiliated with Cambridge as students, alumni, faculty or research staff.[22] University alumni have won 194 Olympic medals.[23]

But one student only able to invite up to 3 people. so you need more cambridge students to accompany you if you are in a large group.

My Home Is My Museum
Artist Caroline Wright invited us to explore and celebrate the domestic, private museums of Cambridge householders in a project titled 'My Home Is My Museum.' The project was commissioned by the University of Cambridge Museums and Botanic Garden for Curating Cambridge. Curating Cambridge was a collaborative arts and cultural season programmed by the University of Cambridge Museums, supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

The steam winch powers the ash railway, used for moving the ash from the main pumping engines' fires. The ash was used to repair local roads.
Computer History Museum TOUR- Part I
We took an exciting trip to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View California surrounding RSA 2016. Our host, Alicia Webb, enjoyed a private tour with Senior Curator Dag Spicer, and learned all about the origin of computer software, data storage, and the use of technology for military defense.
This Computer History Museum tour is Part I of a two part series on SecureNinjaTV. Next week we will take a look at the further evolution of computer technology!

Tesla coil in action @ the Cambridge Museum of Technology [29-10-2011]
This video was shot at the Cambridge Museum of Technology on 29th October 2011. This was the last part of an afternoon showcase of some tesla coils in action, or to describe it in layman's terms it's basically some grown men playing with electricity. This was shot in darkness to enhance the effect of the sparks being emitted from the coil, which had the unfortunate side effect of messing up the quality of the video! This was recorded with my cameraphone, which for some reason decided it didn't want to record in 720p HD like it's supposed to be able to, so I had to reduce the quality to VGA before starting.
