There are quite a few engineers/scientists on Forumosa, and I think y’all would enjoy this guy’s videos. He builds the most random stuff in his garage (or blows stuff up in his yard) and explains not just how to build them but all the physics/chemistry behind them.

Very cool series.
@oldboy1 you mentioned you like clunkers, you might like this guy on Youtube. This is an example of his early stuff.
He’s a bit more corporate these days, but still entertaining.
How a math question makes you think on how humans behave:
I’m not sure why this appears in my YouTube feed. I’m not Welsh. But you never know when you might need to know this.

I follow a bunch of woodwork-related channels, the best of which are below. They’re a combination of ASMR and “huh, that is an obscure but useful piece of information”:
