Me at the beginning: This video is going to be boring
​
Me at the end: Ive never been so educated about a can.
I miss this guy. I wish he would come back 🙁
I counted him saying “can” 38 times.
I wish he would’ve addressed Hawaii’s unique cans.
I got some serious plumbus ‘how they do it’ vibes.
aluminium.
Mmmm…. BPA lining…..
Could anyone ELI5 how doming the bottom of a flat can reduces how much surface material is needed to make it?
My thought is that it’s the same amount of starting material, just “spread out” into a dome rather than remaining “bunched up” flat.
Maybe he’s inferring that keeping it flat would require added material to strengthen the sharp edge?
Mr Anderson.
I always wondered what would have happened if Smith just tried living a normal life. This is it.
Big fan of the coffee pot one which is basically “how can you perform this task with as few parts as possible, as cheaply as possible”
Great video
This was so relaxing. THIS is what ASMR is all about.
I have that Schmidt can in my collection.
If we’re doing Engineering Guy videos, you have to check out the one on how a retractable ballpoint pen works.

I watch this guy’s old videos before bed sometimes to calm myself. He seriously has a nice soothing voice. I start getting tired just seeing his picture now lol. And his videos are awesome
In my opinion, this video is the gold standard for short youtube educational videos. I saw it when it was initially posted and was blown away. I wish more videos covered topics like this so thoroughly.
Yeah, about that epoxy lacquer lining – anyone have info on leaching or chemical interaction with contents? Also makes me wonder what gets off-gassed when the cans are melted down for recycling.
I got eight and a half minutes in before i remembered i’m supposed to be working right now.
Wow that was fascinating. When he started hitting on the packing factor I was hooked.
Fantastic video but one thing he didn’t mention at the end is that you can [rotate the tab which will hold a straw in the hole](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CZRyD-zUsAEnnVf.jpg).
*aluminum
The first time I watched this video I talked to my wife, who was pregnant at the time, so much about aluminum cans she screamed at me to shut up after 30 minutes.
The trend of bros using those beer can openers annoys the hell out of me. The tab is a genius modern design, it’s just like why?!!?
I wish this guy was still around making videos.
good
This was awesome. Why doesn’t the aluminum tear when it is being drawn or punched?

That was really interesting!
Explains why cylindrical battery cells are cheaper to make and scale well.
I wish he’d have mentioned that the can doesn’t get the top at the can facility; it occurs at the beverage makers facility.
I’ve seen this video posted so many times…
And each time I upvote it! Great video.
I could listen to this guy talk all day.
He should’ve added the part where Pepsi made push-tabs to open their cans using thumbs in the 80s. Young me’s thumbs hurt opening cans.
He was one of my professors in college! Super sweet guy who honestly gets so excited about this stuff – which is impressive considering he was teaching a Big 10 Ged Ed class for, like, the 15th time.
Well, now I need an 18 pack to test this 2 stage fulcrum theory.
This guy cans.
fun aluminum fact. Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser etc) is the world’s biggest recycler of aluminum. they recycle enough to build a 747 each month. aluminum can be infinitely recycled.
That was a great video. This guy is an excellent teacher.
Great video thanks for sharing
I feel like I’ve watched this video at least 8 times over the course of its existence. It’s a classic, over 15 million views!
They also passively interlock to make stacking/packing easier.
From his website:
Perhaps best known for his video on the aluminum beverage can, which was described by Roman Mars, host of the podcast 99% Invisible, as “for my money the greatest video on YouTube.”
Ive watched this video a few times. It brings me peace
this is one of my favorite YouTube videos ever
