I LOVE this shit
Alsenoth
What does it do Bob? It specifically folds dough to make a pretzel. Weren't you supposed to be making a machine to cure cancer? I got hungry
Gandalfthefab
I could watch #2 for hours
WhatAWildRide
As someone who had to hand make waffle cones, that machine upsets me and my burnt callused fingers.
JustAmountain
As an automation controls engineer, I live for this shit. The amount of work it takes to produce these end results is well worth the pain.

...where the fuck do the cores of the apples go?

Came here for the waterbear. Was not disappointed. +1

After watching all those perfect loops I was a little bit let down that it wasn't

With less haste, you person of loose morals.
SolidEther
I keep expecting something new to happen. There goes 20 minutes
Dvargar
Tardigrade!
stubblyhead
what exactly are they making in #2? i want to see the finished part.
sharthappens
That first thumbnail though.
HughLaurie
Is there more than one thumbnail?

machines... how do they do it?

so many hnnggg

#3 Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the sticks aren't centered in the ice cream? Seems a calibration is in order.

If you guys like this stuff, you should consider a 2 year degree in Manufacturing Tech over a lib arts degree and debt. 1/2
BoooBerry
You can actually make really good $, and you'll always have a job. Just a tip from a guy who came up through the biz. ;)
ThatGuyWhoDownvotesFrontPageEditsAndDickbuttAndRepostStatistics
+24 for the tardigrade :D
PhatHats
What is 12?
muhvitus
That ice cream terminator machine will get you all! JUST WAIT AND SEE!
PunkyPicc
what are the frosting tree things?
DrMabuseTheHamburglar
I think they're marzipan, an old-timey candy in Europe.
Somanyquestions
Carrots.

This is why "How it's Made" is so popular.
Lamech777
I lost so many hours of study to that show.
DetectivePikachu2
#1 is pretty much a clip from the intro at a different angle
Catumi
So happy Science channel plays tons of reruns all week.
7orqu3
How its made is so popular because people need it to fall asleep
lovinlissa1984
Probably accurate for many, But It keeps me up by hinting at the coolest "made" at the end of the episodes.

maybe blind people?
ressicjessie
I've seen almost all of these lol. Makes me calm. You should have added the perfection from the twin peaks intro.
lilmissym
Oh my hell that was always my favorite part.
ressicjessie
It's beautiful!

I need to know what those two cogs are doing

woah. that's awesome.

Mmm... the survivors of the war against Skynet?
WhimsicalCalamari
Anyone know what the mechanism in #9 would be used for?
Cupcakemonger
I came to the comments looking for the same answer :/
cr89o
#9? I only see 3... :/ how long has the mobile app been denying me extra gifs without me ever knowing?
ButtblasterMcAssmaster
Maybe I should have made a tardigrade album instead
Scheiterhaufen
Penis noooo.... don't eat that!
Phoff
Maybe it's maybeline
zombona
Both is good!
BrienneofTarthsJumboJunk
I never would have thought that little ballsacks with legs could be so badass
graehall
I'm pretty sure they give them stars, not letters, and they call them special needs students. Just FYI
BornstellarNomad
Fucking love Cosmos

Tardigrade is my spirit animal

Please do. With Facts n shit!

I fucking love those cute water bears

Slootibartfast
EXACTLY what I heard!
lyolyata
That's a weird and wonderful combination of pleasing, creepy and cute. I approve.
robocatninja
Something about tardigrades that both terrify and comfort me.
barnwolf
I always thought the hard engineering was rocket science and such, now I'm starting to think the really good engineers do this stuff.
dangerkitty
Every industry has it's own problems. It's all hard.
KaJuN
I'm amazed by it! How do they even begin to think how to automate some of these processes, let alone design the machinery to do it?
barnwolf
Ya, there's just so many vastly different ways they could have solved these problems.
barnwolf
And many of those solutions would be bad solutions, so to find the good ones seems really hard.
dangerkitty
One is to realize there are many right answers. Several just may be better for a given situation. Two, break it down into smaller 1/2
dangerkitty
problems until you have a small enough problem to start solving.eg how do I get this material until the bucket.
Einstein9073
"OK, it works for one. Now... how do we make it faster? "
barnwolf
Ya that's probably like a 10th generation paperclip maker or something. I'm sure they've been improving on the design for decades.
dangerkitty
Pretty much, yeah.

PLC's, PLC's everywhere. Sauce, I write the programming for a fully automated bakery in Ohio.
tomsparks
Could you expand? That sounds really interesting
festivus
4) operations are very similar to how an arduino works but heavy duty for factories and personally the programming is easier on PLC's
festivus
3) I use Allen Bradley for the most part, they have a wide variety of options for different applications but they're expensive. The
festivus
1) Programmable logic controllers (PLC's) are king in most industry they take inputs of varying kinds and use them to determine the outputs
festivus
2) via the programming which is basically simple ladder logic. Most big plants use either Allen Bradley our Siemens controllers personally
festivus
5) anymore questions just ask, I love what I do it's like an episode of how it's made everyday for me.
tomsparks
im gonna do some research on that it sounds really interesting, as a somewhat undecided college freshman with a focus in engineering there a
tomsparks
are some really neat things I never even thought about with huge corresponding fields, thanks for responding!
