  18. “Science explains how things work, it doesn’t always answer why they exist”*…

    Still, it’s cool to know how things work. In a continuing series of “tear-downs,” Bryan Macomber obliges in the most elegant of ways…

    Are you curious why a clicky Pen… clicks? How a Zippo Lighter flips open? Or what lives inside a Pez Dispenser?

    I’ve illustrated tear-downs and break-downs of everyday products that you may have taken for granted. Let’s take a look inside and understand how they work. Click around, have fun and maybe learn something new!…

    An illustrated celebration of the engineering around us: “Mechanical Pencil.”

    * (Paraphrase of) Isaac Newton

    As we muse on the mechanical, we might recall that it was on this date (according to most sources, though a few cite the 12th or the 19th of June) in 1902 that Philadelphia restauranteurs Frank Hardart and Joe Horn opened the first Automat in the U.S. A cavernous, waiterless establishment that was a combination of fast (but fresh) food, vending, and a cafeteria. Customers put nickels into slots beside small glass-doored compartments in the Automats and turned a knob. In the compartment next to the slot, food revolved into place for the customer to receive through the glass door.

    Horn & Hardart Automats expanded into a chain reaching Manhattan in 1912. With their uniform recipes and centralized commissary system of supplying their restaurants, the Automats were America’s first major fast-food chain.

    For more on how they worked, see “Meet Me at the Automat” and the charming documentary “The Automat.”

Not sure how to take advantage of it besides helping me find stuff in various engineering codes and standards documents. Any fun suggestions that probably won't get me in trouble? #AI #Copilot #Engineering #MechanicalEngineering

  36. Philippe Müllhaupt “teaches the old-fashioned way.” And it seems to work, since he has been named the best teacher in the Mechanical Engineering section for 2025.

    He first learned to appreciate teaching thanks to his music theory professor. Although he quickly gave up music, he never lost his enjoyment of sharing knowledge with others.
