People like you, Engineerguy, are why I stopped watching TV. You bring these amazing videos to my inbox, and I thank you for sharing this all with us. You rock!

@GuitarManiac197 Thx for kind words. Much appreciated. You bring up an interesting point about TV. I think YouTube/Internet video/new media is really the best way to deliver stuff I want to talk about. When I flip through the dial nowadays I don't really see engineering bring presented ....

I used this video in my class, which has ESL students so I made subtitles for it. Download here: msittig.wubi.org/test/copier-s­ubtitles.srt

[engineerguyvideo]

@msittig I missed this. Send them to me and I'll put them up on the video ...we title all newer ones, but not the older ones!

@djbassaus I was on its way to the recycle: It was to be crushed to a 1 ft x 1ft x 1f t cube. Then it would be sent from Urbana to town about 50 miles away (Springfield) I think where the aluminum drum would be removed in this way: They would slide the cube up, and then induce an eddy current to the aluminum becomes magnetic and extract it! Amazing!

As a Canon photocopier technician I almost cried watching you destroy that beautiful machine.

Good rundown on the copy process though.

@msittig ESL= drain on school funds.

[GuitarManiac197]

@engineerguyvideo It gives a huge range of people a voice they never really had before on a scale that is just ridiculous. I really want to go to school for engineering, and being able to watch videos about fun things like this gets me even more excited to go. Engineering should be presented more on the tube, because engineers are definitely some of the worlds most important people.

[sevenheadedweasel]

wow this is so cool, i never knew how these worked.

[hitachi088]

@engineerguyvideo are all your video available on this channel?

[alfredo3793]

[bv90andy]

O.O that is not how I imagined it would work. It is actually so simple. Well, the basics, Now how does a colour one work?

[Uzamaki312]

Thats why my papers are always so warm!

[lonlytheonly]

i bet you cant put that thing back in any case xD

[bunkafashioncollege]

Im SO glad youve returned to the more fun style of the original videos that got me turned on to your series in the first place. Great combination: interesting learning combined with some humor to wash it down - the perfect combination when teaching. Fabulous! 

Keep up the great work!

[superslimsim]

@gavranarh Daym this guy does so much so your lazy ass can watch it while lying on your couch. Show some courtesy!

[tritonio]

I just can´t stop watching this guy !

[Borgetti425]

@gavranarh UGh

[engineerguyvideo]

@gavranarh Agreed. That's the exact change we made in in series #2 and #3! ... and what we'll continue in series #4 and in the future.

[Datastreamx]

Engineer guy is back! YAAAAY

[engineerguyvideo]

@DrWes1180 Soon! We shot three last week that we are finishing, shooting two more this week .... The next series (#4) will contain eight videos and will have a companion book for those who want to learn more .... more on that at my website {my web site}/book ... YouTube doesn't allow the posting of links, but fill in the brackets and you'll find it!
