I saw your later series first that had a more serious tone, I enjoy both styles.

This series plants the impression that you simply go around the university stealing people's stuff and taking it apart ;) :P

@DrWes1180 Indeed you are correct about the change in style ... while I liked both, the views for the more "serious" ones - we call 'em earnest - outstrip greatly those of the first series.

[DrWes1180]

@engineerguyvideo I really enjoy both of them and started watching your videos when vsuace first linked to you, as I am sure is the same with a few people, I was wanting to ask when you think we might be seeing some more videos?

[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!

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

Good rundown on the copy process though.

@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!

Truly fascinating!

Love the ending :)

"...again." -> [totally wrecked machine] -> "I'm repairing it"

@engineerguyvideo are all your video available on this channel?

[msittig]

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

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?

[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!
