How a Ship in a Bottle Is Made
Ships come in many shapes and sizes—including ones that fit in bottles.
Dive deeper: https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/a60384895/ships-in-a-model-explained/
Jim Goodwin, a retired geologist, started out making model ships sans bottles, but eventually decided to take his ship-making skills a step further by building his first ship in a bottle.
“I started out in December of 1999 when a friend of mine suggested that I try it,” Goodwin tells Popular Mechanics. “So I read two books and I got hooked on the engineering aspect of having the mast collapse, as well as building the vessel so that it would insert into the mouth of the bottle and then [raise] the mast up and [make] sure that it would fit inside the bottle.”

The B-2 Can Carry a 20 Ton Payload 6,000 Miles without Refueling | Popular Mechanics
Built to give America a decisive advantage in a nuclear war, the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit was the world’s first heavy payload bomber to incorporate a radar-defeating stealth design.
With the ability to carry eight times the payload of the F-117 Nighthawk and an un-refueled range of 6,000 nautical miles, the B-2 Spirit is a globe-spanning bomber that lives up to its ghostly name. Despite a 172-foot wingspan and the ability to carry 20 tons of firepower onboard, it’s alleged to be smaller on radar than even America’s F-35.
This bomber was so advanced when it entered service in 1997 that today, more than 25 years later, America’s enemies are still trying to catch up. Meet the B-2 Spirit.

The Hazardous Art of Handmade Scissor Making
Fifty miles northeast of New Delhi lies a city dedicated to the traditional art of handmade scissor-making.
Dive deeper: https://www.popularmechanics.com/culture/a46696197/how-scissors-are-made/
Welcome to Meerut, a bustling city of 1.5 million and home to the Kainichi Bazaar: a centuries-old industry of molding, grinding, and polishing scissors to perfection. The fruits of some 70,000 craftsmen’s labors can be found in barbershops, clothing manufacturers, and homes throughout India, but every pair of scissors starts at the same place — melting recycled scrap iron.

How Swiss Army Knives Are Made | Made Here | Popular Mechanics
Originally, these multipurpose tools were called Schweizer Offiziers-und Sportsmesser, but that name was too clunky and was eventually shortened to ‘Swiss Army knife’ by American soldiers.
Subscribe to PopMech: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoPOPMECH
The first step in the the production process is to stamp the raw material to create the different parts of the knife. This is followed by a polishing process in which the metal blades are tossed into a container full of ceramic stones and then pulled out by a magnet. In order to harden it, the metal sits on a conveyor belt and goes through an oven.
“Inside we have a temperature of 1,050 degrees,” says senior product marketing manager at Victorinox, Urs Wyss. “This heat changes the structure of the steel.” The metal then gets ground to ensure sharp...

Can You Solve the Missing Square Puzzle? | Popular Mechanics
The Missing Square Puzzle shows our rendition of a popular geometric conundrum. First, you see a right triangle made of four distinct shapes. Then, these are moved around to fit into the same triangle, but with an extra open square right in the middle.
Ready for the solution? Click our link: https://bit.ly/38mkAbb
What happened? Was there a sleight of hand, or maybe one of the shapes changed? Watch again, carefully tracking each shape’s movement. Is it possible that somehow, just by moving the shapes around, the area of the triangle grew by one square? Really? This can’t be.

The fruits of some 70,000 craftsmen’s labors can be found in barbershops, clothing manufacturers, and homes throughout India, but every pair of scissors starts at the same place — melting recycled scrap iron.

Originally, these multipurpose tools were called Schweizer Offiziers-und Sportsmesser, but that name was too clunky and was eventually shortened to ‘Swiss Army knife’ by American soldiers.
Subscribe to PopMech: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoPOPMECH
The first step in the the production process is to stamp the raw material to create the different parts of the knife. This is followed by a polishing process in which the metal blades are tossed into a container full of ceramic stones and then pulled out by a magnet. In order to harden it, the metal sits on a conveyor belt and goes through an oven.
“Inside we have a temperature of 1,050 degrees,” says senior product marketing manager at Victorinox, Urs Wyss. “This heat changes the structure of the steel.” The metal then gets ground to ensure sharpness and assembly continues.
Victorinox was started by Elsener’s great grandfather, Karl, in 1884 and continues to be run as a family business out of Schwyz, Switzerland today.

I dive into my old collection of Popular Mechanics magazines to be inspired to build! I find a vise made by Pete Logan and decide to fabricate it! I come up with the plans and build it exactly how it looks, including all the problems I find. I weld, torch, drill, and grind my way to test the final version. How does it perform?

The Missing Square Puzzle shows our rendition of a popular geometric conundrum. First, you see a right triangle made of four distinct shapes. Then, these are moved around to fit into the same triangle, but with an extra open square right in the middle.
Ready for the solution? Click our link: https://bit.ly/38mkAbb
What happened? Was there a sleight of hand, or maybe one of the shapes changed? Watch again, carefully tracking each shape’s movement. Is it possible that somehow, just by moving the shapes around, the area of the triangle grew by one square? Really? This can’t be.
