If you’re a mechanical engineer, the material covered in this video on the basics of bolted joints probably won’t cover any new ground. On the other hand, if you aren’t …read more Continue reading The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts
Sometimes a kid wakes up on Christmas morning and runs downstairs, only hoping to see one thing: a shiny new wind tunnel. This past December, that’s exactly what [SparksAndCode]’s son …read more Continue reading Homemade Toy Wind Tunnel Blows (Really Well)
Strength. Rigidity. Dependability. The ability to bear weight without buckling. These are all things that we look for when we build a mechanical structure. And in today’s Retrotechtacular we take …read more Continue reading Retrotechtacular: Understanding The Strength of Structural Shapes
Tis The Season, for those who are so inclined, to loft themselves to the top of a steep snow-covered hill and then go downhill, really fast. And if something gets …read more Continue reading Ski Lift Design Does The Impossible
Ask any electronics hobbyist or professional what the simplest building blocks of electronic circuits are, and they’ll undoubtedly say resistors, capacitors, and inductors. Ask a mechanically-inclined person the same question …read more Continue reading Building Blocks: Relating Mechanical Elements to Electronic Components
We have to admire a YouTube channel with the name [Less Boring Lectures]. After all, he isn’t promising they won’t be boring, just less boring. Actually though, we found quite …read more Continue reading Engineering the Less Boring Way
