Building Bridges (Ultimate Classroom lesson)

Here's an excerpt of the second lesson I gave to the teams during Episode 1 of Ultimate Classroom!

Dang, the production value gone into this show is insane.

Does anyone know where I can see it if I live in India

[@leynenslucker2991]

@@kartikmotwani8348 I think it's a tv show in a channel called "Studio 10", if you can get your hands on that channel via VPN, or social media search, you might be able to see this show. Good luck buddy :))

Thanks

EDDIE BE MY TUTOR PLEASE

[@abhijeetgupta.3483]

Love u sr frm india🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@Kage1128]

What they should do is give points to the team that used the minimal amount of resources while maintaining functionality

[@minetech4898]

True. Though I'm not sure I want to drive over some of those poly bridge bridges, lol.

[@ArtanisKizrath]

@@minetech4898 I was just gonna say. This is like Poly Bridge IRL

You're intriguing the next generation of civil & structural engineers. 👏👏👏

The best teacher in the world 🤩

[@cubertmiso]

I love Richard Feynman's teachings. For me he is the best teacher and father figure. Thankfully there are so many good teachers that can be found from the internet.

[@travistan9985]

now i'll be the best poly bridge player in the world

[@AchtungBaby77]

Eddie Woo is brilliant. His enthusiasm and passion for science, engineering and mathematics is infectious! 😅

[@onebloodyidiot]

Duuudeee!!! HE HAS UPGRADED like my Pokimon!

[@HeinrichDixon]

@3:40 - The design shown and discussed is NOT a "suspension bridge". It is a 'cable-stayed bridge'. A cable-stayed bridge has the deck connected DIRECTLY to the top(s) of the tower(s), usually in many places (as seen in the video). These cables are all at different angles, depending on their distance from the tower. A suspension bridge has cables strung BETWEEN towers and the deck is connected to these cables, NOT directly to the towers. The cables between the deck and the supporting cables are all vertical. 🍌🙂

[@solapowsj25]

Rantings? These are not engineering designs by any chance, but for introducing the concepts to students. When it comes to engineering design, the representation includes 3-D and internal structure with fine details which surely cannot be shown here. This is certainly a very useful video 🎥.

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

My effort to explain the difference between cable-stayed and suspension is to use the examples of a tent with a pole in the middle, and a laundry line. The laundry line has clothing suspended which you could imagine being attached to a plank at the bottom. The plank is suspended. A pole in the middle of a tent is held vertical by means of strings (cables) attached to stakes around the periphery & by the fabric of the tent, all of which stay the pole. Now imagine the floor of the tent being held up by the cable-stayed pole.

[@HeinrichDixon]

@@antonomaseapophasis5142 It took a little thought and visualisation, but I think your explanations work. 🍌👍🙂

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

@@HeinrichDixon I think I would add your point about cable-stayed cables being at different angles, at different points And suspension cables being vertical In fact the idea of my explanation occurred when on a tour by boat on the Hudson narrated by an engineer for the Cuomo bridge at Tarrytown. He kind of skipped over an explanation of cable-stayed vs suspension (George Washington bridge) because he had been tasked with the tour guide job at the last moment, and his colleagues, from their experience, assured him he was not going to be able to explain the two concepts.

the posture of all these kids is terrible

[@Auditas]

Not surprising, the more time you spend looking down at your phone or a screen, the more you have that forward head posture, forward shoulders, etc. Very hard to correct, takes a lot of discipline coupled with good strategies.

[@lisas7206]

Eddie! I think the natural look is best for you. 😆😆

[@cubingaxolotl1918]

Hi Eddie woo, I am a p6 kid. I understand your lessons very well!

[@cubertmiso]

4:25 in the first bridge the pressure/arrow points down and opposite forces balance out. But why the arrow points up in the cable-stayed-bridge and not down? Pillar takes the weight of the cables down and not up. So I'm missing something.

[@GoatAficionado]

Damn mr woo came far from drawing on a whiteboard

Now if only we could watch Ultimate Classroom outside of Australia....

You know you are famous when 10,000 people watch a video you upload in less than 12 hours. Not to mention half the world is literally asleep when you upload it.

[@solapowsj25]

Thank you🌹.

Hi eddie thanks for the classes

[@divya3921]

Thank you Eddie for this awesome video

[@zpoxy]

Eddie Woo is a legend ❤️❤️❤️

[@Rohit1947347]

This kind of class will encourage student to understand the concept and apply it in real life.

[@djvelocity]

You are *a phenomenal teacher!* 🤔😮😳

[@GooogleGoglee]

Miss the old lessons videos

[@suduvo8664]

want to watch whole episode

I'm not sure about bridges, but many old domes over buildings are actually parabolas, because people didn't know better back then. And they still hold, because the shape is a good enough approximation. BTW, VSauce has taught me that it's called "Brachistochrone", what's the difference?

[@noonxie7163]

Not to sound weird but tie me with those chains ( respectfully ofc)

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Why I read the chapter on hyperbolic trig functions.

[@funshortvids9612]

I am studying this right now at school.

[@BohonChina]

This curve of bridge (Catenary) is very famous and it was studied by many mathmaticians such as Newton.

We need more shows like this

[@alirezaghaffarian9038]

Just a suggestion here. Why don't you look into IB mathematics and try to make a few videos based on that curriculum? It would be great for a lot of people!
