The Ingenious Design of the Aluminum Beverage Can
I'm sure some are not interested in this, but I find it much interesting. without engineering, we would still be in the dark ages, and I find it highly interesting to find out about all the ideas which make it work.
Some years ago, after I moved here to UK, there was a long series of wonderful TV programs about how things were made. Just ordinary things. But they were great. Now nothing is shown like that, so far as I know, I wish somebody would make new ones.
An exemplarily clear and engaging explanation of the aluminium can's design rationale and the processes involved in manufacturing it.
