His whole channel (called Technology Connections) is probably my favorite one on YouTube, can’t recommend it enough! My favorites are his series on refrigeration and heat pumps, for example this one: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7J52mDjZzto https://youtube.com/watch?v=7J52mDjZzto Edit: to clarify, this article is based on an old Technology Connections video, and the creator of that video has lots more!

Technology Connections is hands down one of my favorite Youtube channels. Another guy worth mentioning that tickles the brain cells in a similar way is Isaac Arthur: a guy that breaks down science fiction into science fact, and explores what we could actually do someday in the future, and pokes fun at the stuff that will probably never happen but has become familiar tropes anyways. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZFipeZtQM5CKUjx6grh54g If you want another down to earth (ahem) channel that also explores tech, there's Tech Ingredients who has done crazy things like build the ultimate (and certainly weirdest) speakers, his own epoxy, his own thermal paste, his own whiskey with his own still, his own compressorless fridge and AC, his own rocket motors.... https://www.youtube.com/user/TechIngredients https://www.youtube.com/user/TechIngredients

  Isaac Arthur is almost certainly a pseudonym paying homage to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke

  Thanks, I wasn't aware of those two! Riffing on those, I can also recommend DIY Perks. He makes pretty stunning electronics projects. https://www.youtube.com/c/DIYPerks https://www.youtube.com/c/DIYPerks

    I might just come forward and recommend NighthawkInLight. He does not upload as frequently as some of the other channels mentioned here but his videos tend to have a much higher production value for some just as interesting topics of science and technology. https://youtube.com/c/Nighthawkinlight https://youtube.com/c/Nighthawkinlight

Seconded, I learned a ton about A/V systems from him. He has excellent technical content. Learning about how the old electromechanical juke boxes worked was fascinating. I can also recommend Applied Science. He explains the concepts behind numerous concepts and applies them to a home project in his garage. Such project include: Home made electron microscope Chemical glass strengthening Robotic cookie maker Creating X-Rays Messing around with supercritical CO2 https://m.youtube.com/c/AppliedScience/videos https://m.youtube.com/c/AppliedScience/videos He does all sorts of random shit and it is absolutely wonderful

  Applied Science is amazing, +1 highly recommended. Well, to both.

  For A/V stuff, I went looking for an understanding of how color works in video systems, and ran across this gem from Captain Disillusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTKP0Y9MVus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTKP0Y9MVus His whole channel is great, though there's not a ton there, it makes sense given the staggering amount of work that goes into the visualizations of each one.

  His videos is an amazing demonstration of a general scientific engineering process: "At the 84:th attempt I started to see some promising results..."

I watched a few videos from his channel and always amazed/wondered how can he has so many vintage items and deep knowledge of/around them. I really enjoy his presentation skill and sense of humour.

  The jokes are painfully corny. But everything else about his channel is gold.

    I'm a pretty corny person, so I enjoy them. Not laugh-out-loud funny, but at least smile-worthy. I do really enjoy his presentation style, and the technical content is well-written and fascinating.

Love his channel! My favourite videos are the ones about dishwashers.

    He won me with the video about why hurricane lamps look like they do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tURHTuKHBZs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tURHTuKHBZs
