      @@BehindDesigns Did you get assassinated or something? How can you make a channel this good and then disappear. I feel like you should be arrested. Doing what you have done should be illegal. It's like Michael Jackson being born making a 1 mix tape with 'Billie Jean', 'Bad', 'Beat it' and 'Thriller', 'Smooth Criminal' releasing it, and then disappearing off the face of the earth.

    i think a very unchanged thing is the handgun, for example the 1911 handgun is still quite common today

    • @BehindDesigns
      @BehindDesigns  3 роки тому +3

      That's a great example. And as classic piece of design, a 1911 has to be up there.

    The safety bicycle is another example of unchanged design since the 1880s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_bicycle

    • @BehindDesigns
      @BehindDesigns  3 роки тому +1

      That is a good one! However I would argue that although it was the first Version of what we would consider the classical bicycle layout, it has had many changes in material and design since it’s inception. I would class it as a design trend/concept that has then been replicated through the years. If they were still riding that exact original model in the olympics (and what a sight that would be) I would totally agree with you.

    After somehow finding your video on Windscale, I’m gobsmacked at how little views your other videos have! Quality content, well presented, is so rare. Please keep it up! Perhaps align yourself with other channels such as Wendover Productions or Real Engineering, or The Big Move, to gain tips, support each other, and perhaps shout out the other in their videos 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Thanks, the YT algorithm seems to be noticing me a bit now! Glad everyone seems to like the videos. Hopefully once I hit the 1000 subs mark and am allowed to sit at the big table (albeit at the very far end) I might try reaching out to some others. Thanks for support. I really appreciate every view, comment and thumbs up!

      You have probably thought of it but you could do a top ten best designs and top ten worst designs. I’m inclined to agree with you that the endurance of that design of paperclip shows it was as good as any design could get. However I prefer the variant with a square top, triangular shape and slight bevel on the mid-loop.

    One of the best acronyms i have every heard is K.I.S.S ( Keep It Simple Stupid ) and the paper clip is definitely a great example of this engineering and design methodology. Excellent work i love the mix of subjects all rolled into one video, these are the kind of thingss that get people interested and inspired about how the world works. Thank You

      eh there is modern versions coming out including ones that no longer involve sending nails into the hooves and instead are glued on there are also many versions for various circumstances the old way is still pretty standard for many applications. But there are now tons of different materials that can be used for more specific purposes like aluminum for racing to reduce weight or rubber to provide better traction and protect road surfaces and even plastic.

    a drinking straw. I'm not sure 100%. But I can't imagine how a drinking straw could be improved on. So, surely, it is the same as it was back in the long time ago.

      That’s a great shout. However, I live in London and cannot get a drinking straw for love nor money. it's only paper ones that fall to pieces within seconds, or pasta straws that come with their own weird difficulties. We seem to be going backwards in straw design however if saying goodbye to a star means less harm to the environment I’m all for it.
