3. Arches and Chains

[Vitrunis]

Nice, now I can go back playing Polybridge

[andaroo.j]

The point about Gaudi's cathedral is incredible :O

[ditto]

The narrators voice perfectly spans the gap between interesting and relaxing.

The upside down chain model is mind blowing to me. Now I have a much better idea how to design my house. Thank you. Real world implications.

Digital computer: construct mesh of finite elements and perform series of calculations to approximate behavior of system.


Analog computer: hang a chain and add weights.

The few moments when YouTube recommendation algorithm actually works. I feel so lucky to have watched this video. Thank you for the amazing work!

[heifour]

Why am I watching this?
But more importantly
*Why am I enjoying this?*

[ristopaasivirta]

Amazing visualization and explanation! Very impressed by the clarity and flow of information.

[stooncol]

Very underrated channel, differently deserves more views

[lenap]

Youtube: "wanna know about chains?"
Me: ....sure

[martiddy]

I know almost nothing about architecture, but I genuinely enjoy this.

[wjjam]

No clue why this was suggested to me, but it was incredibly interesting, informative, and well explained.
The parallel between arches and chains was NEVER something I would think of, but it's so perfect!
I'll probably watch some more of these guy's videos after this.

As an civil engineer, I can say that this video was one of the most interesting and awesome one that I had watched for the last couple of years. I remembered the arches and cables were subject of one single unit in structural analysis book and we had learned they behaved just opposite. But, I did not remember so many fun fact about arches. This video was like a poem. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When I saw a side to side comparison I suddenly understood how the light bulb in the head feels like

[artemstupin]

one of the most interesting videos of the whole Youtube! thanks to the authors of the video!

[VRebuli]

I literally have a Master's degree in Structural Engineering, and though I have studied catenaries and arches, I had never heard of the chain test before. It simple, elegant, beautiful! Thank you for that!

[dbayboyds]

What a beautifully simple video. It takes a deep understanding to explain something so clearly. Thank you!

[PiotrekPomorski]

I've recently been in Barcelona and visited La Sagrada Familia and La Casa Milla. I saw the exact chain model that Antoni Gaudi used. It's a remarkable piece of engineering and creativity from his side! I loved this video so much more because of this, keep it up!

[Kaardoron]

Thank you! Very eye-opening. Sat here and kept saying 'Wow' to myself throughout the whole video :P

[Zapper]

It's fun seeing these models and being like "Yeah, that just feels right"
