Bet you didn't think a rice cooker was so interesting, did ya?

EP3 Race to the finish; RCA's final gamble (CED Part 5) Jan 26, 2020

The end is near. The death knell approaches. What will become of RCA’s invention? And is this really the end? Would you like fries with that?

This video discusses the color brown. Seriously.

EP5 Teleprompters are clever, simple, and also pretty neat Feb 22, 2020

EP6 The Computer-free Automation of a Jukebox (Electromechanics) Mar 08, 2020

Ever wonder how we made all these crazy machines do all their crazy machine things before computers came along? Wonder no more as we explore the inner workings of a Wurlitzer 3400 series jukebox from 1970!

EP7 The Selection Accumulator; a Jukebox's Brain Mar 22, 2020

Today, we take a look at the selection accumulator; how it works, what it does, and how that relates to the rest of the machine. Strap in, folks!

EP8 Chest Freezers; What they tell us about designing for X Apr 07, 2020

EP9 Coffee Percolators: An Explanation and Roast Apr 17, 2020

Do you like your coffee to have a little kick? Then try a percolator! It's like tasting a shoe! Seriously. Why are these still a thing? I don't know but let's talk about them!

EP10 DVD+R and DVD-R; What was that about? Apr 29, 2020

We're really looking at the plusses and minuses of this whole ordeal...

EP11 Fans; High is next to Off on purpose May 12, 2020

This video is absolutely fantastic. Ever wonder why it goes Off-High-Medium-Low? Well, it has to do with motors and the ways we cheat with them.

You might have been seeing a lot about these little devices lately. Have you ever wondered how they work? Well, let's find out!

I love this toaster so dang much.

EP14 The US electrical system is not 120V Jun 22, 2020

It's more than 120V. It's even more than the other 120V! It is the sum of the two (and sometimes a different two!) that makes us who we are. Learn about the US electrical system in this not-at-all snarky video!

EP15 Laptop Docks! They're pretty neat! Jun 29, 2020

I know, my use of a laptop (and worse, that I like it!) makes me a truly terrible person.

EP16 Cassette adapters are remarkably simple Jul 13, 2020

It's a real lost opportunity that we didn't call these Cassettepters. It's not-at-all difficult to say! OK, maybe Cassepter would be easier but isn't that, like, a sword or something? The descriptions are getting weird.

EP17 Personal "air conditioners" aren't what they seem Jul 22, 2020

You know, it's one thing when a product has a limited scope and application. It's another when it's passed off as something greater than what it is. Learn why these fad devices are fad devices in this video.

EP18 The Impact Sprinkler - more clever than it seems! Jul 30, 2020

It's that time again! Time to take a deep dive into the mundane to see what we can learn. Join me as we look at this sprinkler!

EP19 A record player that can play CDs: The Fisher DAC-145 Aug 19, 2020

Well now, what do we have here? It's a CD player... but also a turntable? Hmm... very interesting. But why? How? And is it actually a good idea? Lucky for you you've clicked on this video and will find out!

EP20 Retroreflectors; they're everywhere, and they cheat physics (sort of) Aug 31, 2020

Road signage and other markings may be something you take for granted, but have you ever wondered how they can appear so brightly with just the output of your headlights? Find out how, and get a load of other trivia, in this video!

EP21 The touch lamp; a neat idea, and older than you'd think! Sep 12, 2020

I think we really oughta make this fashionable again, don't you?

EP22 Electric car chargers aren't chargers at all – EVSE Explained Sep 23, 2020

Catchy title! But it's mostly true! There's a pinned comment you might want to read, as well. But there's some links down here, too.

EP23 Forced-air Furnaces: The What, Why, and How Oct 10, 2020

Let's not get too heated, this is after an inflammable subject. Frankly it's exhausting, but we gotta do it. We gotta explain how furnaces work! And soon, we'll talk about what will replace them. I'll try to remember to put a link here when that time comes!

EP24 Camera Tech from 1971: Match-needle exposure meter Oct 30, 2020

Ever wonder how pro cameras from the 1970's worked? Learn about their single most important tool for the photographer (and lots else!) in this exposé.

EP25 The Antique Microwave Oven that's Better than Yours Nov 12, 2020

Reviews

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
