So I understand your background is mechanical engineering, yeah?

I watch your channel alot and your videos have helped me understand engine concepts and alot of other car related engineering substantially better than textbooks and other written sources have! For that, I am grateful.

My question is, since you call your channel "engineering explained" do you ever plan to do videos on non car-related engineering subjects? Hydraulic systems for example...water-pumps...etc etc?

Also just a minor sub-question: Are you employed as an engineer? If so, what is your job title and what day to day activities do you undertake? I am a design engineer at a heavy plant manufacturer for the quarry industry.

Very nice. I recently just left a test engineering job at an aircraft seating company. Testing their structures dynamically and statically, number crunching and reports. I left because i got pigeon-holed into other stuff.

I remember watching that video when you first posted it. I kinda guessed that your passion had taken over since the vast majority of videos since that have all been on car structures or systems. I suppose its a testament to the design and engineering of cars these days that there is soo much theory and engineering to be explained and learned in order to fully appreciate how a car works.

Thanks for replying, i looks forward to many more videos. Have you done a video on power steering ? (either you have and i've missed it, or you havent but im just too lazy to look....it is Sunday after all)

Thanks. Im one of those engineers who wasn't really interested in cars, as much as general "how do things work", mechanisms etc. Infact, I wasnt interested much in cars right up until i was 17/18, when I got my first car, and from then onwards I kind of inherited my interest from all the petrol heads in my university classes. I always got the feeling that i was slightly the outsider, as alot of people from where i live tend to gain engineering interest from a general interest in cars. For me , it was the other way round, and the only way i could have a decent conversation about cars with them was after id spent a few nights watching every single one of your videos! Ha!

lol.....!
