    The physics behind why a cylindrical container like a barrel is stronger isn't because of even pressure. If you have a given fluid in a container it exerts the same pressure at any height given height of that container. This is given by the pressure equation rho g h = P. Where the greek letter rho is the density of the fluid, g is the force of gravity, h is the height in the container, and P is the pressure. What you are describing as a strength gained from a cylindrical container over a cubic container, is actually a result of something engineers refer to as a stress concentration. There is an entire branch of mechanical engineering based around managing those stress concentrations called mechanics of materials.

      “...it exerts the same pressure at any height...”
      Just to clarify, do you mean that:
      1. at the same height, the pressure is the same
      2. the pressure is the same across the whole surface and that pressure is determined by how much fluid is in the container?

      @@josephcoon5809 He means 1. Fluid pressure is dependent on the fluid above it pushing down. Like imagine lying down on a stack of mattresses, and then having more mattresses stacked on top. It is the amount of mattresses above you that makes you feel more pressure.
      But! The pressure of the fluids inside the barrel is negligent when it comes to designing the barrel. The real dimensioning factor comes from handling the barrel. It has to be able to hold its shape from the weight, and it has to be strong enough to take bumps and knocks. That is where the shape of the staves and the hoops work together. See comment below for more details.

      The appreciation of barrels is spot on. They are amazing yet simple constructions. But Shad's attempts to explain the physics of it is rather messy(Appreciate him trying his best!).
      The round shape is down to how most materials are most efficient in load bearing in tension(pulling on it). Think of a rod of metal and just using your own strength on it. It has to be pretty thick to resist bending. It doesn't have to be nearly as thick to work as a column, but it still need width to avoid buckling. But pull on it and keeps itself straight, and you can make due with just a thin wire. You wont be able to break even a

      @@Devin_Stromgren I live in france and lemme tell you a story...
      we picked up a hitchhiker who was rolling a barrel with him. why was he rolling a barrel with him? well, lemme tell you! he worked for a winery and finished for the season. they were throwing barrels away because you aren't allowed to reuse them, as an easy way of making bad wine better would be to use barrels from "good" years to store mediocre wine. well, this is illegal (because wine is highly regulated in France, as you can guess)
      so the hitchhiker asked to bring a barrel along with him as a souvenir. turns out, when it's trash, you don't have to pay much!
      long story short: because it's so easy to make barrels nowadays, they're one time things that you can get from wineries for next to nothing. and considering shad's are used, I'm guessing he was more than happy to take them off the hands of the winery he got them from

    Hey Shad, I'm with you. I learnt to respect barrels working in the wine industry in South Australia. One person can move more than two people with a crate for sure. There is a graceful aesthetic to wooden barrels and in working with them. Everything you said was correct and you can get _very_ fast with them once familiar. One thing you forgot to do was to _rock_ the barrel before raising it from its side to it's edge or upright... so much easier, you're using the weight of the barrel to help lift it!
    The slats are called _staves_ the ends are the _heads_ and the rings are called the _hoops._ One type of common barrel is called a _hogshead._ If they are for transporting liquids don't let them dry out. Cheers.

    Barrels being arched on the side also makes them able to be rolled on two rails. Just like train wheels, which are not flat, but are angled to be self corrected as they ride on rails. Barrels riding on two rails will automatically self correct, which makes rolling barrels around, on and off ships and around factories much easier and controlled.
