      We didn’t actually use AA batteries to charge the theatre- We just used them as a way of showing how much energy the lecture theatre would use, using a quirky unit of energy that people would be familiar with (an AA battery).

      With all of the lights, cameras and technical equipment we had in to record the lectures, the 21,567 AA battteries that Saiful mentioned in lecture 1 would run the theatre for just 1 hour!
