These engineers, taking all the dam jobs...
danny ou Dad jokes, I have them
Good one!
I've only recently come across your videos and yet you've already taught me a lot. I like your calm and clear style and your humble attitude.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
You have at least one subscriber from NASA. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
Thanks for the shout out Grady!
Fish soup? I think this needs expanding on!
I love the change, great move, congrats on 100K!
Can't a man just want to be anthropomorphized fish soup in peace?! ;) Thanks Peter!
Thanks for the mention, Grady. We are honoured to be included in your list.
(I was just thinking the other day - I wish that guy lived a bit nearer because I'd buy him a beer and discuss tunnels... But I bet you get that all the time!)
Haha that would be great. I really admire your lifestyle and both your personalities. I homestead vicariously through your channel ;)
Ethics for Engineers and Land Surveyors are very important (and frequently not understood by the public). It would be cool if you did a video about the ethical considerations, such as why bidding isn't allowed (not bidding for construction, but services), and why PE's & PLS's aren't allowed to be majority owners in a project (plus many more). Just found the channel, as as a civil designer, I love the clear and concise explanations given.
hey in this video you said that you feel like you've gone home and made the world a tiny bit better of a place. Well I hate to break it to you but you start making the world a better place the second you start making these videos. for someone like me coming from a completely different background of study, your videos inspire me to create entertaining and educational videos myself. Just wanted to let you know that you're reaching beyond the realm of Engineers with your videos and into the realm of people who feel that education is the best form of entertainment. Thanks again man keep it up
Thank you. This is really kind.
super awesome. I love your Channel, very great subjects you deserve 100 mil subs . we are actually taking a few subjects you talk about on your channel and using them for some of our episodes. keep up the good work !!
Nice Videos
Thx for the SI Unit implementation btw
Just stumbled upon your channel recently, and I'm loving it so far.
From the list of channels you've mentioned towards the end of the video, I already feel at home here, and now I have a couple more channels to check out! Thanks, and congratulations on the milestone!
Thanks!
I'm really amazed to see the quality in your recent videos ever since you re-branded the channel. As a student of Engineering, these kinds of channels inspire and drive my passion for the industry and what it accomplishes. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your channel grow and prosper!
Thanks for putting both imperial as metric units in the video. Makes sharing knowledge and insights a lot easier when everyone is on the same page when it comes to the numbers.
YES!!! thanks for using SI units. It's realy nice to see american made videos that also use the SI
Occupational Outlook Handbook - great resource! Been in the job market for over a year, hopefully this will help.
I feel like I found your channel just as it exploded. Always love seeing great people doing great working finding an audience. Congrats on the success so far, looking forward to more videos!
I started watching your channel for the woodworking, and I have really enjoyed the new direction you have gone in.
Thanks for sticking with me!
Congrats for reaching 1E5 subs! It's a bit different from the US, but I'm currently a student of industrial engineering here in Brazil, and seeing people like you really motivates me for finishing my studies to become a engineer. I almost forgot, thanks for starting to show in the si system too.
I'm much younger than you, but all I can think of after watching this video is, "You're gonna go far, kid!" Great videos man!
Thank you for this video. Great thanks for showing both imperial and metric units in your calculation. That is a lot of work for you, but it makes it so much easier for me to get a feel for the numbers you are using.
Woo hoo! Shout out for This Old Tony. Love that guy.
Congratulations for the 100k achievement, thank you for sharing your thoughts about civil engineering, i love this subject, it's awesome how we can use physics concepts and see non-intuitive reactions and use them to our favor (taking the mechanically stabilized earth as example). Science is awesome :D. Thanks!
I love this channel! I can't wait to check out the channels you mention that I haven't already been watching. Thanks Grady!
The Way Out West Blowin Blog is an amazing channel! I'm glad another engineer enjoys them as much as I do :)
I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. keep up the good work
I'd be really interested in a Wood Lathe use demonstration. I use metal lathes and mills on a daily basis but am still dwarfed over a wood lathe. I feel a small demonstration on the engineering of a lathe as well as your techniques would not only be an interesting look into construction, machining, fabrication and gears (depending on how you wanted to spin the episode) as well as giving all of us a much better appreciation and understanding for your lathe time lapses! =D
Thank you so much for these videos. Im going to university for civil engineering this fall and you really have made me happy and confident with my choice. I wish I have your job one day ! :)
Congratulations on reaching 100000 subscribers. 👍
Thanks so much for answering my question. Also, congrats on 100,000!
Woah, I I've been to the elementary school before. I had a soccer game there in 7th grade, and I remember getting hit in the face hard with the ball and getting a bloody nose and sitting on the edge of that playground for the rest of the game. Crazy, I feel nostalgic from watching a Q&A video....
WayOutWest is a great channel!
Just waiting for them to finish the donut cart though
your video's always get my mood up :D looking forward to the next one
Youre the best dude!!
Good luck on that PE! I recently found your channel and I'm glad I did, I'm going to be studying mech engineering in the fall
Wooh, go SI
7:33 The cool thing about SI is that g ~ 10 m/s2, and the density of water is 1 g/cm3 or t/m3. You have to make these roundings if you are an SI engineer.
Awesome!
Yay, 100,000 and 2 subscribers
Good luck on your exam!
I saw my name there about three times and a suggestion that my #1 question will be covered in a future video. I'm pretty happy with that :)
Good luck getting your PE! I'm hoping to get mine in the next few years.
Great video dude!
Oh, I would be so thrilled to see a collab video between Grady and Smarter Every Day.
Also, hello from The Arboretum. (I work just a mile south of there at least).
Yeah, Practical Engineering and SmarterEveryDay is quite similar channels. They are the bests when it comes to engineering.
Unit systems... good thing we use both in my country. I think in feet AND meters :D
Thanks for answer a couple of my questions!
Yeah! A&M!
Oh shit, what up
if you need some mathematical graphs, you can plot them with a program called maxima. its a bit like wolfram mathematica, but free.
David Brower would not approve. "Leave nothing, not even a dam." "If you are against a dam you are for a river." -The book of Brower
Try space engineers you will love it.
WHOOP! Just found out you are an Aggie! Same here!
Hi bro, I need to appreciate for your valuable video's. And can you pls make videos on MEP services on system design for HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, firefighting, ELV system it huge stuff but your way of explanation is easy to understandable and with lot of key points.
Thank you...
well that was a dam good video .
i'm sorry.
Good luck on getting that PE!
Thanks!
Hey man! Love the videos, fellow aggie engineer grad student here, gig em!
There's a Troy Grady. He has videos on guitar picking technique. Maybe it's another Grady to get to know? lol
I support Practical Engineering on Patreon ... and you should too.
Them dam inspections!
I got weirdly excited when you mentioned AvE
Is there a way to use vacuum distillation (like you showed in your hydrostatics video) to purify water for third world countries?
Engineer reporting
As for other channels, I think you'd really enjoy Smarter Every Day
i am studying civiel engineering at the Tu Delft :-)
The days of yore, when This old Tony used to be a small channel...
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
If I have but one humble request its that you should use more puns! :)
You're the new Smarter Every Day :)
congrats ;)
Did you have to make any extra coursework before going from geography to civil engineering?
Top guy, great videos. I don’t see a future for you where you’re not a full time film maker. :)
grats on 100k dude! What are you gonna do with the silver play button when it arrives in about 1 year and 900k subscribers from now?
Belt buckle
UA-cam has to deal with about 15k people who have over 100k subs, it's growing to fast!
100 Thousandth Sub! UA-cam deleted a lot of subs and I just made the 100 thousandth haha
Haha the last one didn't announce himself, so you keep the crown
Yay!
Grady claims in this video not play videogames.... But I am prettttty sure I remember playing quite a bit of Halo 3 with him at the Cedars.
It's true!
I want to see more dam videos!
can you make a video of the esp8266 (wifimodule for arduino ) how to program it and flash it?
Gig'em Ags! Whoop!
Awesome got my comment shown 😄
Sorry they were so small! They were meant to be bigger.
abouttaaa weekk agooo
Yes. Thank you. Will your degree actually pay for itself? That website is helpful.
As an engineer, do you frequently use the numpad on your keyboard? I am on the market for a new mechanical keyboard, but as an engineering student, I can't really decide wether to go full-size or ten keyless
Haha interesting question. Yes I do. Sometimes you just gotta type a bunch of numbers.
This is such lovely sweet man
Instead of a space elevator could we make a tube, pressurize it, and open the gate in outer space to send up stuff up? Like the pneumatic systems in banks and grocery stores?
Unlike the tether (a tensile structure), the tube would need to be stable as a compression structure. Probably not feasible with current materials.
+Practical Engineering bummer. Thanks for the reply. Would graphene material make it possible. I was watching a Ted talk on bio materials and how we could make viruses grow batteries. Could viruses grow graphene and we could grow the structure?
The TedTalk was on directed evolution. Angela Belcher: Using nature to grow batteries. Once programmed to make graphene could a space straw be more efficient than lasers pushing an elevator up a line?

Is the town you grew up in Panhandle, Texas? I lived in Borger, Texas for 8 years and often drove though Panhandle on my way to Amarillo.
Yep ;)
YES!!! A KSP reference! :)
I'm wanting to get into aerospace engineering, but in aerospace, every single different component to a rocket has it's own team, and you have to choose one pretty early in you career path. it's like if every different part of a dam had its own team dedicated to it. how would you recommend choosing a field of aerospace to enter?
Tough question. Seems like a lot of life is like that though - you have to make a decision without having the relevant experience to choose properly. Sometimes you just have to do your best and find a way to make the best out of what you chose.
+Practical Engineering thanks, great advice, I'll continue with that in mind. also, love your videos!
@ 1:35 punny? Hahaha!
Are you satisfied with that camera you use? My sony alpha 5000 is very hungry for light.
It has its ups and downs. I don't think Panasonic even makes it anymore.
I'm subscribed to four of your favourite channels! Vsauce 1-3, This Old Tony and Nile Red are missing on that list.
At least in my opinion. :P
Also, for anyone who understands German, check out Fynn Kliemann!
Guess I should've waited to post that comment up there ^^
Replying to myself. this is just sad...
0:00 - 0:01
My son is 14 and interested in engineering. What advice would you give to explore and develop his interest? We have already explored the BLS.
Engineering-type hobbies are way more accessible than they used to be. For example: arduino (circuits and programming), raspberry pi (computer science), rc airplanes (aerospace) are all huge right now!
Hey i have recently discovered yur channel and your videos are very inspiring. To the point where i am considering taking Geotechical Engineering as a career pathway instead of what i initially wanted to do which is chemical enginering. I was just wondering what would be good choices to take at A-Level for someone wanting to do this?
That's awesome. Thanks! I'm not too familiar with education outside the US, but I'm assuming A-levels are somewhat similar to AP high school classes. In that case, I would say to take as much math and physics as possible. Geology if it's an option.
Ok thanks. Yes A-Levels are around the same as AP's. We dont have geology but i love maths and physics so ill probably take them and chemistry as well. Thanks for the quick reply i really appreciate you responding. Have a good day! (or night, im not entirely sure what time zone your in :P).
you didn't put my comment in your video :(
I'm going to College this fall to be a mechanic engineer and I'm wondering what kind of clubs should join in college?
Do what motivates you. That's where you will be most successful.
+Practical Engineering sounds good thanks
you need to watch the engineer guy youtube channel.
he's an older guy that shows how various things work in interesting ways. he doesnt put out a lot of work but every video is worth watching.
also you never mentioned the nottingham university science channels by Brady Haran, which is an absolute must as well. Sixty Symbols, Periodic Videos, Deep Sky, Numberphile, Computerphile. there are a few more but those need to be added to your list too.
for general scientific concepts there is VSauce. vsauce 2 and 3 are more niche but Michael Simon from Vsauce is probably the best science entertainer on youtube other theeeeen
scishow.
how isnt scishow on the list? scishow space, crash course
minute earth and minute physics as well.
maybe i misheard the question and you were trying to shout out less known youtube channels, but if you havent heard of any of these, get watching. they're the cream of the crop that you're sitting in (you are certainly rising cream yourself)
I watch most of those channels, they're just not my very favorites ;)
what is the name of the game that simulate building a rocket?
I think the internet requires me to make a Darude: Sandstorm reference, but in this case his screen recordings look like Kerbal Space Program.
+Michael Onines tnx this is it.
Dude,
You're 13 off. Good luck XD
This is what I used: socialblade.com/youtube/user/gradyhillhouse/realtime
How does the japan protects their subways from the flood?
What's your favorite dam and why?
i convert monster in to code.
Dam man.
how to hit 100k ?
would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck?
Base 10 or Base 12?
60!
Binary is the best positional system.
