 Viewers often ask me when is the next video coming out or more often they actually text me and ask me if I'm dead I'm pleased to tell you that the next video is coming out Tuesday, June 7th, and it's on the Optical alignment telescope that was used in the lunar module on the Apollo mission to the moon We share in that video some of the very clever engineering used to make that telescope very lightweight and then on Tuesday, June 14th We have a video coming out about the engineering of a disposable diaper This channel is nothing if it isn't eclectic and then after that a video series comes out That is not standard engineer guy fair Over the last couple of years. I spent time filming and writing about Michael Faraday's great 19th century lectures the chemical history of a candle They're also known to some people as the Christmas lectures, although they didn't have anything to do with that holiday And then then Michael Faraday takes a candle and he studies how it burns and In describing the chemistry and the physics of how it burns He reveals a lot of science a lot of chemical knowledge He illustrates the scientific method wonderfully And he also links that candle and how it burns all the way up to human or mammalian Respiration and I find them an absolutely stunning set of lectures Now they're not as I said really regular engineer guy fair. I mean we try to make the engineer guy videos Very concise snappy a lot of information coming at you Graphics and images and animations and these are 19th century lectures with demonstrations and They have what I'll call a leisurely pace to them But I hope that you'll give them the time to to listen to them and give yourself the time to get into the rhythm of How Michael Faraday is sharing information and and I would hope that you would like me find Them to be just absolutely amazing. I mean I wouldn't have spent time Filming the lectures and writing about them if I if I didn't really really love the lectures Now the lecture series has a companion book that comes with it. Here's the cover of the book That book will be available for free as a PDF. I'll tell you where to get it in just a minute and In that book we have transcripts of all the lectures, but we have guides to the lectures We have essential background. There's a teaching guide and student activities Now this book is scheduled to be published and be available on June 10th But books do have a way of kind of of slipping their deadlines a little bit So I hope that book comes out and then the videos will be released soon after the diaper video and the week or two After if everything goes well Comes out so if I do what I did I put at this website I put engineer guide comm slash fair day. I put information about the book and then when the videos come out and they will come out on On YouTube on this channel first I'll update this page to have links to all the videos and they'll be that the link to the free PDF Right now. I'll just update that as the different editions of the book can become available If you want you can also sign up there so that I can notify you when the book comes out Or if you really want to send you a text you can ask me to do that. Just send me a text at two one seven six eight nine 1461 I guarantee you I'm not dead and I'll send you a text and tell you when the book comes out if you would like so I Hope that you enjoy the Apollo video that's coming out on June 7th I hope you enjoy the diaper video on June 14th And then soon thereafter I hope that you will join me to really explore the fair day lectures the chemical history of a candle I'm Bill Hammack the engineer guy
