How Sonys Betamax lost to JVCs VHS Cassette Recorder engineerguy 2014-06-17 | In 1976 Sony introduced the Betamax video cassette recorder. It catalyzed the "on demand" of today by allowing users to record television shows, and the machine ignited the first "new media" intellectual property battles. In only a decade this revolutionary machine disappeared, beaten by JVS's version of the cassette recorder. This video tells the story of why Betamax failed. This is one of three videos in a series on marketplace failures of technological objects. http://www.engineerguy.com/failure.
Announcement: New Video Series, new book, and an Event! engineerguy 2023-03-16 | Bill announces a new four-part video series -- forthcoming (hoarseness has delayed recording the final bits and pieces!) -- a new book published on March 21, 2023 called The Things We Make: The Unknown History of Invention from Cathedrals to Soda Cans. He also announces a book launch event on March 30, 2023 for those who preorder a book by March 29, 2023. You can register for this event at engineerguy.com/book-launch. Other Events and Appearances are listed near the end of the video and also at http://www.engineerguy.com/events. Lastly, he notes that, as always, he can be reached at bill@engineerguy.com or via text at 217-689-1461 (use WhatsApp if outside the US).
The Engineering of Droplets and their Formation in a Commercial Inkjet Printer engineerguy 2019-05-22 | Bill describes how the minimization of surface area and inertia compete to form droplets. He then shows how engineers use this knowledge to create precisely-sized droplets in a commercial inkjet printer -- the type used to print expiration dates on food packages.
Nitinol: The Shape Memory Effect and Superelasticity engineerguy 2018-10-25 | Bill demonstrates the temperature-dependent shape memory of nitinol metal. He explains how "twinning" in the crystal structure of nitinol produces the memory effect. He shows a nitinol-based engine that is powered by temperature differences. He closes the video with a description of superelasticity, a phenomenon related to the memory effect, which he demonstrates with a cardiac stent. (This video is dedicated to my second son: born right after the rough draft was finished, and who, thus, delayed the filming of the final video by eight months.)
Britains Giant Airship: R.101 engineerguy 2018-02-06 | You can learn more about Bill's book Fatal Flight, The True Story of Britain's Last Great Airship -- including listening to an audio version for free -- at www.engineerguy.com/airship or here on youtube (see link below).Fatal Flight brings vividly to life the year of operation of R.101, the last great British airship—a luxury liner three and a half times the length of a 747 jet, with a spacious lounge, a dining room that seated fifty, glass-walled promenade decks, and a smoking room. The British expected R.101 to spearhead a fleet of imperial airships that would dominate the skies as British naval ships, a century earlier, had ruled the seas. The dream ended when, on its demonstration flight to India, R.101 crashed in France, tragically killing nearly all aboard. Combining meticulous research with superb storytelling, Fatal Flight guides us from the moment the great airship emerged from its giant shed—nearly the largest building in the British Empire—to soar on its first flight, to its last fateful voyage. The full story behind R.101 shows that, although it was a failure, it was nevertheless a supremely imaginative human creation. The technical achievement of creating R.101 reveals the beauty, majesty, and, of course, the sorrow of the human experience. The narrative follows First Officer Noel Atherstone and his crew from the ship’s first test flight in 1929 to its fiery crash on October 5, 1930. It reveals in graphic detail the heroic actions of Atherstone as he battled tremendous obstacles. He fought political pressures to hurry the ship into the air, fended off Britain’s most feted airship pilot, who used his influence to take command of the ship and nearly crashed it, and, a scant two months before departing for India, guided the rebuilding of the ship to correct its faulty design. After this tragic accident, Britain abandoned airships, but R.101 flew again, its scrap melted down and sold to the Zeppelin Company, who used it to create LZ 129, an airship even more mighty than R.101—and better known as the Hindenburg. Set against the backdrop of the British Empire at the height of its power in the early twentieth century, Fatal Flight portrays an extraordinary age in technology, fueled by humankind’s obsession with flight.Link to Audiobook on YouTube youtube.com/watch?v=97OnTDaLqqk&list=PL0INsTTU1k2Vh4m4jS9oVE7GFga7OLaBZ
The Engineering of the Drinking Bird engineerguy 2018-01-30 | Bill reveals the operation and engineering design underlying the famous drinking bird toy.

The technical achievement of creating R.101 reveals the beauty, majesty, and, of course, the sorrow of the human experience. The narrative follows First Officer Noel Atherstone and his crew from the ship’s first test flight in 1929 to its fiery crash on October 5, 1930. It reveals in graphic detail the heroic actions of Atherstone as he battled tremendous obstacles. He fought political pressures to hurry the ship into the air, fended off Britain’s most feted airship pilot, who used his influence to take command of the ship and nearly crashed it, and, a scant two months before departing for India, guided the rebuilding of the ship to correct its faulty design. After this tragic accident, Britain abandoned airships. Set against the backdrop of the British Empire at the height of its power in the early twentieth century, Fatal Flight portrays an extraordinary age in technology, fueled by humankind’s obsession with flight.This audio recording is released under a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike Non-Commercial License.Book MetadataPublisher Articulate Noise Books | info@articulatenoise.comHardcover | ISBN 978-1-945441-01-1eBook | ISBN 978-1-945441-02-8Paper | ISBN 978-1-945441-03-5 Audiobook | ISBN 978-1-945441-04-2Audience 01 — General TradeSubjectsHIS015070 HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / 20th CenturyTEC002000 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Aeronautics & AstronauticsTEC056000 TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / HistorySCI034000 SCIENCE / History

Fatal Flight: The True Story of Britain's Last Great Airship is written by Bill Hammack and read by the author.Fatal Flight brings vividly to life the year of operation of R.101, the last great British airship—a luxury liner three and a half times the length of a 747 jet, with a spacious lounge, a dining room that seated fifty, glass-walled promenade decks, and a smoking room. The British expected R.101 to spearhead a fleet of imperial airships that would dominate the skies as British naval ships, a century earlier, had ruled the seas. The dream ended when, on its demonstration flight to India, R.101 crashed in France, tragically killing nearly all aboard.

This companion to the YouTube series contains supplemental material to help readers appreciate Faraday’s key insight that “there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of science than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle.” Through a careful examination of a burning candle, Faraday’s lectures introduce readers to the concepts of mass, density, heat conduction, capillary action, and convection currents. They demonstrate the difference between chemical and physical processes, such as melting, vaporization, incandescence, and all types of combustion. And the lectures reveal the properties of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, including their relative masses and the makeup of the atmosphere. The lectures wrap up with a grand, and startling, analogy: by understanding the chemical behavior of a candle the reader can grasp the basics of respiration. To help readers understand Faraday’s key points this book has an “Essential Background” section that explains in modern terms how a candle works, introductory guides for each lecture written in contemporary language, and seven student activities with teaching guides.Author BiosBill Hammack is a Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Illinois—Urbana, where he focuses on educating the public about engineering and science.
