Bill describes the EngineerGuy team's latest book Eight Amazing Engineering Stories, which forms the basis of EngineerGuy video series #4. http://www.engineerguy.com/elements. He shares the formats its available in (paperback, ebook, and hardcover) and describes the contents of the book. This book forms the basis of engineering guy series #4. Eight Amazing Engineering Stories reveals the stories behind how engineers use specific elements to create the material world around us. In eight chapters, the EngineerGuy team exposes the magnificence of the innovation and engineering of digital camera imagers, tiny accelerometers, atomic clocks, enriched uranium, batteries, microwave ovens, lasers, and anodized metals. In addition, short primers cover the scientific principles underlying the engineering, including waves, nuclear structure, and electronic transitions. "In Depth" sections cover entropy, semiconductors, and the mathematics of capacitors.

Bill shares that new videos are coming out: On June 7th The Apollo Alignment Telescope, on June 14th The Engineering of the Disposable Diaper. Following those videos a series on Michael Faraday's great 19th century Lectures on "The Chemical History of a Candle" will roll out. Details about the companion video for that series are at http://www.engineerguy.com/faraday

Bill Hammack & Don DeCoste highlight the key points of Lecture One of Michael Faraday’s lectures on The Chemical History of a Candle. A free companion book helps modern viewers understand each lecture — details at http://www.engineerguy.com — as does a commentary track and closed captions for each lecture. ►Free Companion book to this video series http://www.engineerguy.com/faraday Text of Every Lecture | Essential Background | Guides to Every Lecture | Teaching Guide & Student Activities In these lectures Michael Faraday’s careful examination of a burning candle reveals the fundamental concepts of chemistry, while at the same time superbly demonstrating the scientific method. In this lecture Faraday focuses on the physical changes occurring in the candle, for example, how the wax moves from the candle into the flame.

In this lecture Faraday investigates one of the products of combustion produced by a candle — water. From water he produces hydrogen and oxygen, whose properties he will investigate in more detail in the next lecture.

In this video Bill explains why there haven't been many videos in the last year. It's partly because he wrote a book and because he appeared in a Science Channel series. The book is on the last great British airship: details at http://www.engineerguy.com/airship -- which includes a free audiobook.
