  • Bill details the engineering choices underlying the design of a beverage can He explains why it is cylindrical, outlines the manufacturing steps needed to created the can, notes why the can narrows near it lid, show close ups of the double-seam that hold the lid on, and details the complex operation of the tab that opens the can.

    I’ve watched this video at least 4 times now. TH-cam recommends it to me every couple years, and I watch it every time. So much amazing engineering on what we think as a simple invention, but it really isn’t. It’s the evolution of 80-100 years of engineering, and has been improved over and over again until the consumer can’t even see the improvements anymore. It’s gone from a good design, to the best possible design within the parameters. Truly amazing.

      If you ever find yourself questioning biological evolution, just think about this. This is just a behavioral version of the same process. There's continual experimentation. Against that, the variations are tested. If they work, we keep them. If they don't, they are replaced. By keeping the things that work well, we close the search space, so to speak. We eliminate a lot of the randomness. And the various selective pressures all compete against each other with the more important ones having more weight on deciding whether a variant works and is kept or doesn't work and gets lost. Here, we see variants tested for ease of production, amount of material required, cost, material strength across a whole variety of factors, amount of volume contained, amount of pressure accommodated, stackability (tensile and compressible strength), even simple ease of use by a human so that it fits in a human hand, opens with a human finger, and doesnt encourage the human to do stupid or wasteful things with a tab. And biological machines like proteins, enzymes, tissues, etc, all evolve in an analogous process. (Yeah, I'm a nerd =D)

    You know you're a good teacher when you can make something as seemingly mundane as the aluminum can into one of the more captivating videos I've ever seen. Almost everybody, including I would say most instructors, struggle to keep explanations in layman's terms without dumbing it down, as almost none of us speak the internal language of whatever industry is presented.

    As a survey archaeologist, I have been using cans to date the age of historic sites discovered in the field. We need to know when sites are over 50 years old. When I began my career, the steel beverage can with church-key openings was historic and all aluminum cans were modern. As time went by, bi-metal beverage cans (steel cans with aluminum tops) became the indicators of historic sites. Then pull tabs became historic. Now we monitor the shape of the aluminum can openings to precisely date the can manufacture year. I was unaware that can diameters had changed through the years, this I learned from this video! In the future, printed bar codes will help archaeologist date sites. However, I am finishing up my career, so will leave bar codes to the new generation!

    The production quality of these videos baffles me. I follow many other science channels and they often leave me hanging, as I don't fully understand what is being said. Some even fail to answer the question they themselves pose.
    But this channel? I am glued to the screen start to (hilarious) finish, and I understand every word. Every question I come up with is promptly answered.

      I know right? Same with me over here, one way or the other this video always goes back to my recommendeds, and I can't help it but watch it until the end.
      It's just so well made and manages to actually explain how the can it's made, why it's made the way it is and some extra things. This is how things should be explained.

      Straiden I enjoy Vsauce. ;-)
      Are they even alien? Perhaps they are just more of the same. Masses of microbiological symbiosis. Complex consciousness.
      Perhaps the universe is a life-form of which we and the so-called aliens are the sensory organs and or brain cells of said universe or lifeform.
      Even if the aliens did create the dirt and us, what created the aliens? If something created the aliens then what created the aliens creator? Eventually emergence becomes our answer out of infallible logic.
      In regards to space time...
      Time is a mathematical tool of measurement. It's a representation of motion. Objects in motion with certain structural geometries will interact with other objects in motion and that will produce the so-called dirt, in the long run...
      So that would be correct that dirt is a product of the space time continuum... as are we all.

      +Pata Tamás It's almost perfect. Unfortunately, I'll have to mark it down a bit for the following reason:

      +blobbem It's an American video, we say aluminum here and in Canada. The Brits say aluminium. Just like tire and tyre, harbor and harbour (Canadians spell that with the u), "zee" and "zed" for the letter Z, and a host of other common words. Not better or worse, just different. America and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language.

    Absolutely a design masterpiece. The opener alone is close to brilliant. I’m old enough to remember the pull tabs that littered beaches and wooded areas that cut feet and were a health hazard. The opener that doesn’t detach unless with concerted effort is by itself is fantastic. And it turns to allows a straw to fit! It’s a miracle of engineering.

    • @ThatBugBehindYou

      I used to work in this industry. We designed and built Cupping and Shell (lids) presses. I remember we did a 24-out, 750 strokes/minute shell press. That's 24 lids each press X 750 strokes = 18,000 Per Minute!!! And that included blanking and drawing, forming, and pre-curling the edge in one "pass"!
      This brings back memories, I was involved in some major deals back in the day. Busch, Coors, Pepsi, and many overseas companies as well. If you think this video was interesting, and it was and is great to be sure, but you should see the plant in operation. The sheer speed and quantities produced, and the size of the huge presses, is something to see indeed.
