Still from How It's Made S28E09

Summary

Miniature optical fibres, cameras, lights and control cables are installed inside flexible tubing to create medical endoscopes. Moulded horns, microphones, amplifiers and speakers become portable megaphones, while uranium-bearing ore is mined, crushed and processed into a concentrated material that can undergo further preparation for use as nuclear fuel.
