Engineerguy's youtube channel is a real gem, and I wish he made more videos. Every topic he's picked has made the subject matter interesting, even about the really mundane things like baby diaper design. My substitute channels in the meantime have been Practical Engineering and Applied Science, but those two don't really have the level of depth or polish (respectively) as Engineerguy.
- scrollaway 5y agoPractical engineering is up there. I will check out Applied Science. In a similar vein I recommend Not Just Bikes and City Beautiful for city planning details you haven’t thought of. It’s less expert advice and more observations, at least for NJB, but it’s eye opening! And of course, Technology Connections.
- albrewer 5y agoApplied Science is just a really smart guy who works (worked?) at Valve who reads cutting edge research papers and tries to recreate it in his home machine shop / garage. I just discovered Not Just Bikes a few weeks ago, and I'm really digging his content. He complains and rants too much for me to really binge his channel, but I still go back to it for small doses. I'll work my way through his catalogue eventually! I do like Technology Connections, but I'm a mechanical engineer by training so a lot of his videos don't really cover new stuff for me, or it's a 22 minute video for 8 minutes of real content. He tends to go over each concept repeatedly from sliiightly different perspectives each time. Which is cool, but I end up skipping around in the video until he gets to the point.
- scrollaway 5y agoDarn, wish I could have given you something new to watch, always love recommendations! If you're into game design, check out Game Makers Toolkit; and New Frame Plus for animation.
