This narrator has been a voice I've heard since I was a kid. One of the few voices I would recognize if I heard in real life
That's impressive given that you're deaf.
@@Hypercube9 lmao
@@Hypercube9 Being deaf does not mean you can't hear anything at all...
@@deafdanny6299 So people who can't hear anything at all are NOT deaf?? Fascinating.
This new learning amazes me Sir Bedevere. Explain to me again how sheep’s bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
@@Hypercube9 At least google the definition of deafness before making a idiot out of yourself. But seeing as you are probably to daft for that here.
deaf
/def/
adjective
lacking the power of hearing or having impaired hearing.
"I'm a bit deaf so you'll have to speak up"
My God these machines are a bloody marvel. How does one even begin to design such task specific machinery.
I have marveled at the machines that make our everyday products. It would be so much fun to design such equipment.
mechanical engineering courses in university :D
@@Erik_Swiger It would be a nightmare to design these machines, IMO.
That’s why I am in the medical field. That stuff makes way more sense me than those machines. Just thinking how the heck did they get those things to work like that makes my head swim.
It's the Germans, mainly. They are the source of a lot of these hyper-specific factory machines.
Most of what we use is made in China, but most of what they use to make it is made in Germany.
I remember when I was little I always watched how it's made with my grandfather at night, usually when I stayed over for a day. We really watched them at any time but one of my most vivid memories with him was one night that I was staying over and just after we finished making some late night sandwiches (which we always did at night when I stayed over) we started watching how it's made. He always explained to me how the things that were shown in the show worked in his own words, dumbing it down for me and if they had other uses as well. He was very bright and his story is amazing, going from a little kid who didn't even know how to read, to a man who knew how to fix and make anything, and I mean anything.
He passed away a while ago, but every time I watch how it's made it reminds me of him, as silly as it may sound. It always brings back good memories.
Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing the fond memories.
Sorry to hear
The people who invent all these automated machines are pure geniuses. If the world was full of people like me we'd still be hunter gatherers pounding rocks together.
People who came up with pounding rocks together were also geniuses at that time.
Hey they made it thousands of years without it, so everything has a story of being amazing in very different ways.
If there were no mechanics nothing would run for long.
a classic comment under this kind of videos.
They are called "engineers" and their life's work centers around building "things" to make life better.
The technical knowledge and ingenuity needed to make some of our everyday items is nothing short of incredible. I'm in awe.
...moi aussi
People may call your “how it’s made” videos random and say that you’re running out of ideas, but I genuinely think that it’s amazing the types of videos you guys post. Who else is going to make a video showing how to make an espresso machine, or a playground spring rider?The obscurity of it is just endlessly interesting.
They have both of those on video!!
People that say things like that don't realize that's how this show has always been, showing how everyday items as well as boutique items were made, well before the idea of youtube even existed.
ummm kiddo its a huge show and had been forever. nobody says its random or they are running out of ideas. i watched how its made when u were still in ur pampers and i still will when you are in your coffin.
Not sure how you can run out of ideas on how stuff is made...
Repent to Jesus Christ
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,”
1 Timothy 2:5 NIV
When I was a kid I got a pair of matching books. They were black. Titled "The way things work". Then I had an encyclopaedia set of similar books.Then I was well into electrical engineering and I built a one tube regenerative shortwave radio receiver when I was 8 - from just a schematic. I mowed lawns to earn the dollars and dad and grampa drove me around to flea markets all over a three state area looking for the old vintage parts and components I needed. Today I own an engineer consulting firm and repair medical equipment and industrial motion controls / automation. "How It's Made" has surely crafted many a young mind into engineers. If only I had this wonderful show in my childhood.
Tires are amazing. It’s crazy how much abuse they take on a daily basis and still perform nicely each and every day.. you can burn them up at a race track in a day, or drive across the country and if all goes well, not get a flat 😅
Ive always said life rides on 30psi. Always check your tire presures.
@@josecarvajal660 imagine using psi lol
@@leopoldbaumann1575 lol its the uk standard
@@leopoldbaumann1575 Well, what else do you use?
@@ahyaan2552 Same in the US.
One reason why i cant work in a factory:
My brain would definitely encourage me to touch those rolling gears
Work in a factory they said, it will be fun they said...
Absolutely amazing. Suddenly paying $500 for my set of tires seems reasonable lol
I sell tires for a living. I always tell people you pay what you get for with tires. In this industry name brand means everything. The tires is the only part that touches the road. Please people save up and buy a good tire.
@@badaphooko02 I agree 👍
Cheap tires are dangerous
@@badaphooko02 British biker here and I concur. I always pay the extra for Michelins or Dunlops. Never go cheap on tyres. Also I just noticed you said 'you pay what you get for' I think you mean 'you get what you pay for' lmao 😂 but yeah be safe and "keep the sticky side down" as we bikers say 😀
$500 for ur set? Its $500 per tyre now
@oscar7476 depends on the tire. Can be anywhere from $80 to over $1000 a tire depending on your needs and budget.
"It's time for the rubber to hit the road." Hah! Did ya get it? 🤣 🤣 🤣
That's amazing and what's more amazing is the machinery that makes other machinery and so on and so on ..etc etc etc
Thanks, such progress in just over100 years, the engineers who made the machines are amazing.
The bladders that push the tire into the mold sometimes rupture with a loud explosion. When a bladder in the Large Rear Farm portion of the factory would explode the whole factory would feel and hear it.
Yep, one hell of a boom! Did you all cheer when they burst, like we used to? 🤣
Get out the mops, for the Slop!
Yes, we would cheer.
A sudden bladder release is no joke🤣
Replacing one of those must be a nightmare.
My brother and I would watch this every time it came on back in the day. Always fascinating learning about how things were made.
Out of all the how it’s made videos, this one is one of my favorites as well as the one for making aluminum bats
My Dad works in a tire factory (been there for ever, since I was born anyway I'm 26 now). Started out as a production worker, moved on to maintenance, now runs the weight & scales inspection dept! This was such a great video to watch! Also as a machinist by trade this was very eye opening. Thanks to all that keep the wheels turning!
That's a pretty awesome video. Thanks Science Channel. I love the "how it's made" series! :)
I've been working in industrial maintenance for over 15 years, but nothing nearly as complicated as these machines. I can't imagine working on the complex machines in this video.
And now we have smart tyre with QR code linked to your phone 📱
Trust me... the machines they got nowadays are way too complicated 😂 the tire building machines where I work have up to 1200+ lines of code in the PLC, and that's why I stick with servicing the mixers lol
Not only am I impressed by all the machinery and work going into a tire. But I am also impressed by the use of proper terminology! I like that the narrator describes the bead as locking the tire onto the wheel rim. A lot of people just call them rims, or wheels. Where that specific part mounts is known as the wheels rims. The wheel, being the whole metal structure that bolts to a car, and the rim bein the verrryyyy edge where the tire sits on.
I worked at a tire plant for about a year. Was really interesting to work with the machines... smelly though.
"Smelly"...
@@ami2evil Yes. Quite.
Makes sense. New tyres have a particular smell when you get them fitted...
I'm mostly amazed of the engineering of the machines that builds the actual tire, fuck me that must take a lot of testing!
Anyway, love these videos!
As an engineer at a tire factory, these machines are always breaking down, but they’re super cool!
Many more steps in this process than I had previously thort.
All that equipment, and only one tire, of that type, at a time! No wonder they're so expensive!
One at at time, yes, but it’s all autonomous and they can keep it running indefinitely. It doesn’t justify the overinflated price.
they're not that expensive when they're supposed to last years
@@LOLTutos NIce pun!
When they leave the factory they are not expensive, they cost a 3rd of the price that you are paying, because in theory you pay for your old tyre to be recycled
Wrong... TBMs are built to handle a range of tire sizes. Different types/sizes of tire can be built on a TBM by changing its configuration. Curing presses are also buit to handle a range of tire sizes and can be configured for different types/sizes as well.
I loved this show as a kid!
Still do 22 years later
Love the smell of new tires!
Yessir. I do too. I work at one of Bridgestones manufacturing plants, and I work in the warehouse. Everytime I enter, smells fresh, and everytime I wear my work jacket at home, smells like fresh tires. Love it! Just dont love the smell when the tire is actually in the process of being made, crap smells bad 😂
The red stripe makes it go faster.
Can we just take a moment to realize how sophisticated this technology to make such things is?
Would love to see "How it's made: babies" since at age 35 I still don't know.
Made in bed
@@fadli_1577 or car. Or floor. Or woods. Or beach. Or tent. Etc, etc, etc.
Alcohol the social lubricant 🍷🍻🍺 = 👶
Was that supposed to be funny?
😩
I work for a company that does repairs at a General tire plant in Southern Illinois I wish it was this clean though lol that carbon black ain't no joke come out of there looking like Alice Cooper
This has to be one of the coolest processes I’ve seen on this show
Man this is a lot of work for a mosquito house
one of the best episodes. these machines are amazing
Id like to see a video of how all these machines are made 😅 just wondering the engineering behind them
This might be the best episode of "How It's Made" yet!
1) the rubber industry is way more advanced than we know
2) tire making is a feat of engineering
Heard of smart tyre 📱 QR
Thank you for uploading this video. At least I now know what my late dad did at work.
I bet it's fun to be a producer on this show.
"Hello Continental? This is How It's Made. Can we come see how tires are made?"
Forget the tire- Im in awe of the machinery that builds it
"hot steamy bladders"
I spent a 35-year career with the Firestone and Bridgestone tire companies. I worked in the headquarters office, but I always loved to visit the tire plants.
Soothing and enjoyable voice over. How It’s Made voice Guy is great
Machines made in Akron, Ohio. I worked there for a few years. Also some French designed machines to cut the rubberized fabric on a bias. Have worked on these around the world. Dirty, smelly, but necessary equipment.
0:41 "You still got the stick in there!"
When steel and oil prices go up, so do your price for tires ;)
Amazing how engineers come up with all this machinery.
Damn they didn't even bother to remove the plastic bag before putting the ingredients into the blender hahaha
Good eyes there. The "plastic bag" is made of a very specific low melt high strength rubber like polymer. It can hold 25 pounds, but is totally dissolved in the mixing process. That is not a foreign material.
Also, they did not show that mixing is a multiple stage process. Usually rubber is mixed, cooled, tested, then mixed with more chemicals added in the "plastic bags".
I’ve been lucky enough to have toured the Michelin factory in n.c. Definitely a cool experience
One of the best inventions ever
It’s more impressive the people who make and design these machines pure genius
Daaaaaamn I never imagined it was this complex! Thanks for the vid!
impressive mechanism ❤️
Continental!! I upgraded to German engineered continental tires and have been gripping the road GREAT now! Very happy!!
I worked at the Uniroyal tire factory in Detroit in 1970.
@Andrew Pingwin Really? Back when tires lasted 20,000 miles, before silica was used, and back when benzine was still commonplace in the industry. You think we should go back to those days? How about asking Dale how many of his co-workers from back in the day haven't died from cancer?
Million thanks.....
I love This show iv watched how it’s made sense it was made along with mythbusters y’all have shaped my childhood thank y’all
fun fact, the first two digits of the tire's DOT number is the plant it was manufactured at. for Continental Tires, the letters CP on these tires stand for their Korbach plant in Hesse, Germany. it is also where many tires for Continental's US Subsidiary brand General Tire are manufactured.
Amazing invention ! Thank you for video !
Fantastic process.
Phenomenal engineering 👌
I currently work in a tire factory and the actual building process is done by hand. The machine feeds the material but we make the cuts and splices ourselves
Which tire factory?
Tyres are some of the most impressive items in my opinion, second only to the internal combustion motor. Tyres have to withstand a BUNCH of stress on a day-to-day basis, needing to be able to hold up a multi tonne vehicle whist also being able to handle traveling at a max of 100< mph while support all that weight. And that's not even mentioning torque from the engine or potholes.
Awesome video! Thank you!
LOVE "How It's Made!"
Watching this was fascinating AH. Wow. Thank you.
Damn my whole life changed in one video I thought tires where a pour in mold bam tire😂 and I work in a Michelin warehouse I’m embarrassed 😂
You didn't get to tour the plant when you were a New-Hire???
I work in the warehouse too, but for Bridgestone, and as a New-Hire, we did a tour of the plant, beginning stage to end in the warehouse.
I love these shows.
They should do a new television show called how it’s serviced For services rendered
Great work Thank you
When I was a kid in the '70s my mother worked at Aakron Standard Mold which made the molds for the final steps. So this interests me.
Wonder what color the tire would be without that carbon black put in, would it be more of a grey? Or splotchy and non uniform?
I don't know if this is true for modern tires, but before carbon black was put into tires in the early 1900s, tires were made directly from tree rubber, and were white. The carbon black was added because this early tires had low durability.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewall_tire
@@builder1113 huh didn’t know that cool
At one plant I worked at we made camouflage ATV tires. We also tried making white non-marking skid steer tires. This was so that landscaping guys wouldn't mark up the driveways of fancy homes.
Also, some tires compounds are made with a form of silica for the reinforcement. They still include some black to conduct static electricity.
To think tyres used to be made by hand, each step of the way.
These machines are putting 100’s if not 1000’s of people out of work.
I used to work at Olympic Tyres at Geebung Queensland Australia 🇦🇺.
On the other hand, It's also put a lot of physical therapist, surgeons, and wheelchair manufacturers out of work.
Incredible machines ! 🦾🦾
Excellent explanation
“The invention of tread gave this serious traction”. Screaming with laughter.
When that tire came out steaming, I can almost smell how it smell through the screen.
Pretty damned impressive. I had no idea there was so much complexity in a tire.
The machine that put the 2 parts together its called VMI, almost all machines are from Germany, I know this because I work at Goodyear, and I operate one of those machines that show on the video
Do you work on smart tyre 🤔
It is interesting to see all the technology involved - which makes me wonder what the process was like back in say the 40s and 50s
First they take the dinglebup, and smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches. They take the dinglebup and put it through the grumbo. The fleeb is rubbed against it
Fascinating
Wonderful with some forward movement for a change
This video makes tire value rise 1000 percent to me ☺️☺️
yeah the $565 I spent for 4 brand new michelin tires with installation was a bargain
Michelin are the best in the business for performance tyres.
@@darkspeed62 I had some Michelin all terrain tires on my Tacoma a while, they were okay...not worth the hype. I found some aggressive kumho tires instead this time around.
?? or did you mean $565 per tire because that is how much it costs
I put brand new continental tires on my wife’s Ford edge, and they have been the BEST!!
Is it smart tyre 📱
Cars + How it's made = a good video
Nothing like the smell of a brand new tire.
Mmm I can smell the fresh tires from here lol
The process is so complex. Some machinery looks like it's off the iron man set
The mind(s) that designed, made these machines THAT make things for US are marvelous, just GREAT.
"We the people" RESPECT those GREAT minds.
Period.
They are a very good make of tyres
This machinery costs more then anyone has realized
cheaper than labor or raw materials
True. Almost everything has higher overhead costs than most of us realize
I work in a tyre warehouse and seeing a continental 225/45 has triggered Vietnam flashbacks
I never knew tire manufacturing was so complicated!
Heard of smart tyre 📱 QR
I can tell that tread pattern a mile away. Continental is a good tire. Been a Nissan tech for 20 years. Weve used these tires for years.
The show hits different when you have these exact tires.
i have the exact same tires and they kinda suck honestly, probably the least durable tires i've ever had.
i never had any of my car tires bulging after nearly 3.5 years, usually what goes bad on my tires is the thread itself, but the actual tire sides bulging? in less than 3.5 years? wtf?
and these are NOT cheap tires, i replaced all 4 tires in 2018 for these and each tire was 175$...
now i don't expect any tire to last forever obviously, but typically most high quality tires require replacing every 4-5 years, so 3.5 years for a PREMIUM tire is completely bullshit.
compared to my previous Pirelli's which were 150$ and lasted me 5 years, these ContiSportContact 5's are garbage...
Marvelous!
The sheer volume of steps necessary to create one tire makes me understand why a set of four costs 600.00 or more
Heard of smart tyre 📱
good work
I always wondered how they did this.
How does this only have 400k views? I love knowing how all the things we depend on are created.
