    I love Practical Engineering. He often takes things I notice around me but never really give a second thought, and makes them interesting to learn about. The fact this particular video is now #50 on YouTube Trending is kinda mindblowing though, LOL. I could not have predicted that coming when he posted it the other day, especially given how mundane the subject matter is.

    Was looking for a video on airlocks (the kind in spacecraft, underwater, or even something like RimWorld freezer airlocks) but came across Practical Engineering's What is Air Lock? instead. I ended up watching the entire thing anyway since it was pretty interesting.

    Later after seeing a thread about a Roebling device and the Roebling family from r/bestof make some mentions of caissons, I grew curious, when lo and behold How are Underwater Structures Built?

    Now, maybe through a combination of the Youtube Algorithm and the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, I see more Practical Engineering. I guess I'm subscribing and watching more videos then.

    Practical Engineering is one of my favorite YouTube channels. Grady is one of those rare presenters who can take complex problems and break them down into easy to understand concepts.

    I’m not an engineer, but after I watch one of his videos, I feel like one. That’s the mark of a good educational YouTube channel to me.
