The Efficient Engineer

The Efficient Engineer is a channel aimed at mechanical and civil engineers. The mission is to simplify engineering concepts, one video at a time!

Nebula now has a 3 day free trial! So you can check out my videos that are only on Nebula (like the two microstructure series episodes), or any of the Nebula originals, like the 17 Pages documentary. You won't be able to watch everything on there in 3 days, but you can definitely try. 😅 Just use the link in my comment below!

⚡Just published a new video on piezoelectric materials over on Nebula - go check it out! Here's the link: nebula.tv/videos/the-efficient-engineer-piezoelect….

This is the third episode in the *microstructure* series (only available on Nebula) that explores different materials and how their internal structures give rise to astonishing and sometimes seemingly impossible behaviours. The structure of piezoelectric materials means they can generate electric charge just be being squeezed or stretched!


If you're not on Nebula yet you can sign up using that link to get 40% off the annual plan (which works out as just $3 a month). Signing up directly supports the channel and gets you access to all of my bonus videos! 😊

Working on a video on composite materials - are there any interesting composites you think I should mention? Apart from the obvious CFRP, GRP etc...

Hi friends! I've just uploaded four new summary sheets to my website, bringing the total to 10. These one-pagers are handy references that summarise key concepts from The Efficient Engineer videos and are available to download for those who support the channel on Patreon. Get access to the sheets and support the channel here: www.patreon.com/efficientengineer !

Working hard on the next video - here's a sneak peek! It should go live on 8th June. Until then, remember that you can catch extended versions of my latest videos over on Nebula. CuriosityStream are running a special discount for the next few days and you can get 41% off with my promo code, so it's just $11.79 for a year of both CuriosityStream and Nebula! Great time to grab the deal if you've been thinking about it - link in the comments!
