If we could lift up the ground beneath our feet what would we see? We would see how the earth works. The earth is a machine its moving parts buried deep beyond our sight. But using the Earth Machine, a vast 3D model of our planet within an aircraft hangar. We can reveal the enormous geological processes driven by a vast heat engine buried 3000 miles beneath us.
