The ASME boiler and pressure vessel code is a de-facto law for building and operating any kind of pressure vessel in the US. Each section of it costs about $700 (or ~$20,000 for all of them), and you may need to buy 7-8 sections because the

The dude is genuinely smart. When it comes time to dive deeply into a technical topic, though, he never really puts in the main channel videos because he knows he's going to lose 90% of his audience at that point.

I hadn't thought of doing this; I just informally tested mine to find I've got a dead zone between ~13kHz and ~14.5kHz. I can hear the sound above and below that range - it fades out, then back in as I move higher in frequency.

What's funny is the math is identical between resistor - inductor - capacitor circuits, spring - mass - damper mechanical systems, and tank - pipe - valve fluid systems. The main difference between them is how you calculate the equival
