We would argue that ‘engineerguy’ Bill Hammack’s video on the ingenious design of the aluminum drinks can is one of the finest Engineering videos on Youtube.
Bill produces clear, accessible, but technically accurate videos and they are entertaining and interesting enough to really resonate with the next generation of engineers and scientists.
His mission has been to aid appreciation of the impact of science and engineering in our society and economy and his Youtube channel has been massively successful, logging a combined total of 77 million views.
Bill worked as an American chemical engineer, and Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and created the persona Engineer Guy years before Youtube was created.
Between 1999 and 2005 he produced radio commentaries for Illinois Public Media as Engineer Guy before kicking off his Youtube channel in 2010.
