3. Arches and Chains 

Pretty sure arches are still kinda complicated if you plan on building it yourself

Brertt not for the level of load you would expect in his situation they aren't; at least asuming his house isn't a five story steel, brick and glass monstrosity. designing an arch that can bear a few thousand pounds is possible with nothing more than a rope and some rocks. People have been building arches using these techniques for more than a thousand years, sometimes without any maths involved at all. The romans never had any computer stress modeling or materials science to tell them how much load their substrates could bear, but the aqueducts are still standing today.

KingHalbatorix Trial and error.

Your designing your own house?

KingHalbatorix yea. Except his house can be small and it doesn’t change the calculations much over a big 5 story building. City planning will ask for the same calculations

the best one was "bridge it", but now it is too old. I would love a modern complete game in which physics and engineering would be the main topic.

dude, i was thinking playing the same thing, lol

@@AngelLestat2 Oh, you mean like, idunno, Poly Bridge? *smh*

@@christofferrasmussen6533 I repeat, the best one was "bridge it", search it on internet. You had a set of complex levels and free money levels in which you could set free your creativity, the graphics were really good for that time (because it was made in collaboration with nvidia). I made all kind of bridges or any kind of kinetic structures, from bridges that submerge under water when a ship pass or a huge wheel of fortune or any type of mechanic structure. The construction method and parts where also better than current bridge games. But as I said, I would have love a more general physics game, not just related to bridges.

@@AngelLestat2 I remember playing Phun and later Algodoo as a kid, but I imagine it's somewhat outdated as well. They also lack any goal or restrictions.

For the longest time I wasn't sure if he was actually a text-to-speech programme

"spans the gap" lol

@@Cheyruz Is it???

If you play his voice backwards it perfectly fits the shape of a hanging chain.

First thing that came to my mind when I saw what the video was about. I was there a few years ago, and it was fascinating. (I've been telling/boring people about it ever since.)

If ther's one work of art in the entire world I want to see, it's Gaudi's Cathederal.

@@fins59 good luck. It is quite mindblowing

@@iannoble8626 Well I haven't been in La Sagrada Família but yesterday I passed by the house where he was born. (I just needed to buy some rice and I had absolutely no intention to pass by, I just casually passed trough that street)

i was amazed about the model he made, so awesome

because it's pretty interesting material that can teach you something didn't know before? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sometimes, you find something that fascinates you. If you pursue it, you might just find that it is your passion. Who knows, you might just become an engineer!

Because you're an engineer my darling!

It’s somewhat interesting, the speakers voice is soothing, and you’re bored (guessing the last one)

also why on earth did i choose this video in particular ?

The simple methods are often the best solutions.

Why does that first part sound familiar? Avengers endgame?

The thing is, nature perform many complex computations in our place, why not profit instead of recreating an inefficient, complicated and unprecise model?

Chain with weights just abuses the computer that runs our simulation. It is always better than our hand-made artificial weak computers!

They constructed those complicated structures without computer

not really.

You r right😊😊

You r right😊😊

It does

it's worth GOLD

The RU-vid algorithm gods determine our momentary obsessions now, it seems.

a channel needs time to obtain subscribers and views. This is a new channel, so if they keep doing videos they would receive the views they deserve.

Pretty sure architecture is the design and the engineering makes it work

Architects are those who gives engineers headaches 👊😎

And all the problems one has can be solved with a hanging rope.

Maybe string theory should swap for chain theory and it would be solved in no time? Who know certainly not me I don't know shit about quantum mechanics.

@@wurlmon5191 Ooh that's dark.

@@wurlmon5191 Im laughing way more than i should at this xD

@@wurlmon5191 that escalated way too quick

absolutely

Yes, a parabola is a very rough approximation, I think the hyperbolic cosine is actually exactly the chain shape

YM C they have! It’s no. 5 in their playlist

@@aneeshgupta2968 Yes, I've watched that video. It introduces buttresses and flying buttresses, but not pointed arches. But thank you all the same.

Woah, uamee! Hey there!

Only high degree Masons had the knowledge of the Chain/Arch.

Code Tech well that explains everything! lol 🤣 awesome vid guys!

With the simplicity and good examples i can't see many videos with this quality. For small chanel it is even harder to be refine as this. I am giving them 10 of 10 :)

Underrated 😂

Lucky you: its not allowed.

nerd

Thank you! And, yes, they were done with passion, much of that deriving from the wonderful students I taught over the years.
