nenpowerEngineering
From first principles to machines that work — the engineering mindset, one build at a time.
A hands-on journey through mechanical design, mechanisms, materials and electronics. Each season follows a real build from sketch to working prototype, explaining the why behind every decision so you can design your own machines with confidence.
Foundations. Think like an engineer: requirements, forces, motion and the tools of the trade.
