If I recall correctly, the Sears tower design was inspired by the architects' smoking habit (cigarette boxes)

And it looks like garbage in comparison

Very interesting ... thank you

FAZLUR RAHMAN KHAN. That's the engineer who designed the sears/willis tower. PUT SOME RESSPECT ON HIS NAME!

so genius that it spills everywhere

Why does it always open on the right side?

Thanks

It actually jars me that everyone seems to agree that its a second class lever. That free body diagram makes zero sense.

You sir are a national treasure!

Read "Slide Rule" by Neville Shute Norway which describes the damnable arrogant stupidity of the government built R101 compared to the private R100. The analysis is worth of another video from you.

Well... that was a non-sequitur

The video is just brilliant. Accessible and straight to the point. Really makes one smarter.

My grandfather was an electrical engineer with Inland Steel. He did the electrics in the sears tower during construction! He was an amazing man & I'm happy to see it still thriving on the skyline!

Thank you

People need this kinda gentleman who know their things

Exquisite video. Thank you. I do have one question. Your models and animations have steam passing through the turbine so as to hit the convex surface of the turbine blades. I have seen turbine blades in models and drawings all my life, and always assumed the steam hit the concave surface of the blades first. That just seemed intuitive to me. Was that an oversight, or is the perhaps some subtle detail of aerodynamics I'm overlooking.

It doesn’t matter if it’s over 15 floors I’m not going any higher. I have a part-time delivering state products and I’m telling the corresponding reciprocate to come meet me in the lobby because I am not traveling to the skies for their office. I’ll send it up in the freight elevator and you wait for it at the top. Lmao

Let si if a B25 crash in the 2, which one will survive ? We know the answer of that one

Like the leaning tower in downtown San Francisco. 29" off plumb at the top! Never could have happened in 1931. Or the falling balconies at the Hyatt New Orleans. Be an engineer but get a brain first.

My dad was a top-notch engineer for Bechtel and fluor corporation and a few other companies he loved his job and unfortunately a computer replaced him he worked in San Francisco for Bechtel for almost 10 years

Thank you for this video

Sir I wish you endless and genuine health wealth company purpose and happiness

Oh...really? Lis Pendens

What is the relationship between photorealism and engineering?

I’ve worked in the construction industry for almost twenty years, and I can tell you that this method is used all the time. Builders often ignore the drawings/specifications in favor of their tried & true rules of thumb. Of course, they don’t tell any of the Engineers this.

i actually stop to think about that almost every time i open a can 💀

This guy needs to make more content!

3 million pounds is about 1350 tonnes.

My dad was a top-notch engineer for Bechtel and he worked for floor corporation

Amazing video. You rock!

What about the World Trade Center?

Prefamulated, Amulite

PIGSTALK nice

Great video! In summary, evaporation occurs in the head of the bird when it wets its beak. Therefore, the head of the bird becomes colder due to evaporation. Water always flows from high to low pressure. In this case, the tail has the higher pressure since the water begins to slowly work its way up the tube. Temperature and pressure are directly related. If the temperature drops, the pressure will too. As stated before, the water will flow towards where the pressure is lower, causing the weight of the bird's head to increase, dip back into the water, and repeat.

I draw stick figures. Thats what I got for ya.

It will always be the sears tower

A measuring tape, or ruler, is the scientific method. A story stick is engineering. A cord compass for radius is engineering.

HEY, ITS THE SODA CAN GUY!!

मी आत्ता 63 वर्षाचा आहे. लहानपणी वडिलांनी एक जोडी आणून दिली होती. मला खूप उत्सुकता होती की हे पक्षी कोणी तयार केले असतील आणि तो किती हुशार असेल. संपूर्ण माहिती दिल्याबद्दल धन्यवाद 🙏🏻

"Bundled tube"

Didn't the empire state building survive getting hit by a plane.....

I love this.

I figured this out a long time ago by opening a can quietly

Bro forgets the antenna

Love how this guy just causally has 1.4M subs and post like twice a year.

lol am not the only one who think he sounds like John Cena ?😂

Wow, levers and fulcrums..... better stop what you're doing and appreciate the pop top... the lever that started it all... Coca-Cola

yeah, but the real designers are the architects... isn't it

Truly the best explanation of engineering that I've heard. Should be shown to students in STEM classes everywhere.

Is this Chuck from Better Call Saul? Thought he died in a house fire!
