0:02 I've been literally scratching my head trying to understand the similarity between hcp adn fcc although my book didn't suggest so. Finally after coming back home this is a relief and definetly a good night sleep! Thanks for vid, really grateful
@@TaylorSparks Yes! I am a PhD student and have to regularly work with close packed structures. We have marbles in our lab that we can place on a square or a hexagonal surface. but these tennis balls have a better visualization
I definitely recommend this for the people confused with the imagination part short but yet concise and clear, for all those searching the visualisation/difference between hexagonal closed packing and cubic close packing, here is ur solution
the last few seconds comes a aha moment for me, when u switched the green ball to demo both structures. Thank you so much. I wonder why they cut up HCP lattice straight up but cut up FCC lattice sideways...
so that the unit cell becomes predictable, A unit cell must repeat itself in all directions but if they cut it like the hcp, there will be no regular pattern to the unit cell you could argue that we can make the unit cell of 6 storeys so that it repeats that would instead make it more cumbersome to study
At last! Someone used those balls! I didn't have that many balls and I was searching on the internet high and low that I should stumble upon some video that would visualise the thing with balls.
Real really well made, thank you, i have a question Question what happens at 1:40 when you place dark green at truangular voids pointing "down"? Thanks again!
Right!?! For years people said that it was just a matter of stacking and I could never quite see it and then when I built the model myself and colored in the corners all the sudden I could see it pretty clearly.
this is the greatest explanation of this I've ever gotten
@@BenFowlkes-y6b right? That moment when you finally see it
Man, this channel is gold, no one else has this kind of energy and passion for explaining this stuff in a easy to understand way. Thank you
This is probably the best demonstration of the topic.. I’m a class 12 student and this really helped me understand the topic.. thank you so much!!!
Woohoooo
Thanks for putting so much effort to show us illustration... Greatly appreciated
My pleasure
Iv been searchig for this from last 2hours ,trying to undertand how is CCP same as fcc.
ur explanation was the best.
thanks alot.
Heck ya! So glad to help.

Right? So fun to see it click
literally the best visualitsation ever. thanks
Woohoo! So glad to help.
@@TaylorSparks Thank you so much! Best video of crystals
wow!
nice illustration, Taylor! it sparks!!
Thanks!
Ohhh DANG! You were soo good at that man.... Thanks a lot
Crystal clear now!
super awesome! best visualization ever!
Right? This never made sense to me until I actually made the model myself
@@TaylorSparks Yes! I am a PhD student and have to regularly work with close packed structures. We have marbles in our lab that we can place on a square or a hexagonal surface. but these tennis balls have a better visualization
i needed exactly this video , thanks mr. taylor
I'm so glad you found it!
Thank you! The diagrmas and animations I have seen didn't explain it nearly as well!
Wow that makes so much more sense👍👌
Right!? So simple when you can see a physical model.
thanks for this nice illustration
Thank u sir u really cleared my confusion...
Amazing! Now it seems obvious after watching this.
Thanks mate,you saved me.

🤘
Nobody can explain better best
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Really thanks a lot....now my all doubt are cleared only bcz of u.....
Woohoooo! Super glad to help

Lol. Internet always delivers
Real really well made, thank you, i have a question
Question what happens at 1:40 when you place dark green at truangular voids pointing "down"? Thanks again!
the same cubic close packing comes ,cuz where you place the second layer does not matter.both ccp and hcp depends on the placement of the third layer
Thank you so much sir
Amazed 👏 all cleared
....
Wow! For such a passion...
Thanks man this was really helpful
Wow that was very nice
this is such a great video
It's so counter-intuitive that you have two choices for an optimal packing
Very easy visualisation op!,!!!
wow beautiful!
thanks a lot
Amazing....
Could you do the same thing but showing a dislocation please?
Good idea!
Awesome 👏
Pretty slick right??
could you kindly go into the past and replace my material science professors? thanks
Hahaha. I will do my best. The time machine is probably going to require some new materials development.
@@TaylorSparks get cracking then
🤣
You gotta have the balls to do this
@@harshsoni794 lol
Wooooh❤
Right?? Fun to see it click
damnnn i can see the fcc now
Right!?! For years people said that it was just a matter of stacking and I could never quite see it and then when I built the model myself and colored in the corners all the sudden I could see it pretty clearly.
this is a big oooooh moment
Right!? So cool to finally see it.
killer
woahhhhhh
like this vid
voice too low
Yeah, I don't know what the deal was with this video. It's usually much better on my other ones
