Two interesting videos

 Sometimes there is a day where Youtube delights - Saturday saw two interesting new videos pop up: one from Tim Hunkin and the other from Ben at Applied Science.

The first video: the final Secret Life of Components, a new Tim Hunkin video on Gears

The final ? Oh, no !  More videos like this one (only slightly different), please !  (channeling my inner Buddy Olson, our golden retriever - the chap loved to go for a ride in the car right up until a day or so before the end of his life).

The enormous Herringbone gear in the Gears video reminded me of the Falk Corporation of Milwaukee.

  Falk was located in the Menominee river valley of Milwaukee:

The river is there - somewhere :)

Apparently the Falk Corporation was sold in the early 2000s.

Second video: Ben shows us an x-ray setup that uses an algorithm to minimize the number of pixels required, wow.

The only question:  is Ben 50,000 times smarter than I am or is he 50,001 times smarter ?  :)
