Check valves can be found in all sorts of places. From your coffee maker to rockets, from steam engines to nuclear power plants, from fire engines to your own veins: Check valves are there to make sure liquids flow in one direction.
At first I wanted to do something similar to all my other videos: Simply explain the thing. However, check valves are probably one of the most boring subjects (sorry check valve specialists). I was slamming my head into the table, that how de-motivating this topic was, at first.
Thanks to Brian from Real Engineering ( / realengineering ) who suggested looking for the story behind the topic. Hence the title: How check valves brew coffee and launch rockets. Perhaps more clickbait-y but definitely a whole lot more interesting to watch, wouldn't you say?
There are many types of check valves and an equal amount of variations, types and solutions. From the humble ball check valve to precisely engineered aerospace check valves that can withstand being in space.
