Ten Thousand Parts

Ten Thousand Parts takes apart the machines and networks the modern world sits on.

Power grids. Chip fabs. Undersea cable. Water treatment. Ports. Cold chains.
One system per video: how it works, what it costs to keep working, and what
happens when it stops.

Every episode is built from primary technical sources — standards, incident
reports, operator documentation, published research — and the sources are
listed in every description. Where something could not be verified, the video
says so.

New video every Sunday.

Written and researched with AI assistance, fact-checked against the listed
sources, and reviewed by a human before publishing.
