If either of you guys are wondering: it's also available to stream on Max.
i love seeing people complain about the editing and music on these like it wasn't made in 2007.
Whenever i look online for "how its made" i can never find episodes with this narrator. Grew up watching this show. Its therapeutic in a way, calming

What is amazing is that someone had to think that all up before it was done. Fiber optics are so cool.
Reminds me of when I was a kid watching this with my dad. Good times. Much better times

That's not far off, tbh. One landfill operator I watch on youtube is considering digging into old landfill cells, and is setting out current ones where they CAN be easily mined out later.
I love these compilations!!
Absolutely Fascinating!👍🙏🙂
I've been watching this program for years ! I just love it !
So much of our world is so fascinating !
thank goodness solar panels arent made like this anymore or they would still very pricey like were in the early 2000s
I love this guy's voice !!!
Where is the Hydroponic farm located? That is amazing!

@Science Channel: What is "aluminum"? We don't have it in Australia. Is is some type of aluminous metal only found in North America? Also, what is "soddering fluks"? What is it made of?

Soldering flux, it helps the solder weld two parts together.

Metals aren't chemicals 😊. Chemicals are typically substances, often refined.
Where can I watch the og episodes? These are nice but the lady’s voice was very relaxing and the sound itself seemed to be a little more subdued
The landfill with the metals reminds of Superman
More green projects. Ocean fronts when you need to replace sand don't dreg it up use desert sand or go to a rock mine put rocks through a thing that crushes it to sand size and use that. Why well it reduces Ocean and river sand use it makes more sand it makes places for kids to Play at the water and as the water does its thing and washes some sand away wich will require replacing will end up making more needed and required sand. Yes water sand and the other sands I talked about are different desert is to round crushed rock is to um ruff water is just right said the girl who broke into the sand house.
Wow 😂
So why doesn’t the small glass strand break when wound onto the spool? You would think solar panels like that would have more output then those tiny wires could provide (amps)

Those wires are waay oversized. This episode shows a rather old way of making solar panels. The ones seen here are 100-150 watts or so, which isn't all that much. The polycrystalline panel, the second one they show, is even smaller, probably 50 watts.
I hope a lot of those processes have moved on since this was made
6 made a day 😮.. im not surprised..lol.. high production there..🙄
if they manufacture solar panels manually as in the video, then it's better close and go home
You can tell how old this is because they left a PCB right on top of the trash pile.
This metal recycling must have been filmed around the time of cash for clunkers.
What’s so popular about this city. It’s a monstrosity in a desert.

Each solar panel took an hour to produce, and 6 were produced each day at that facility? That’s not very productive. At least 8 should be made.

Point of information, sand is not abundant, we're believe it or not running-out worldwide due to its uses in basically every product.
@rjwaters3
Ай бұрын
were running out of rough construction suitable sand, which is rough and locks together better than other form factors of sand, which while it might overlap in SOME cases with glass making sand, the properties youre looking for are entirely different, you just need relatively pure, or impure in the ways you want, or impure but easily purified, silica sand for glass, vs construction/beach suitable sand where all you need is something thats coarse, and gritty, and gets everywhere.

There's more to like beyond the educational value (the methodical processes, the cool machines, the soothing narration, the banger background music), but if you legitimately hate everything about the videos, no one is forcing you to watch them.

@@HankyBeagle Have you seen any of the newer seasons (about 26 onward)? They feature increasingly obscure items often specific to the culture of the region they're filming in, and those segments tend to be more informative. Season 29 had a lot of traditional French products I hadn't heard of before (callisons, pastis, Laguiolle knives, Marseille soap, petanque balls, etc.).
No use of music please it's very unfair
They should blur out that double headed eagle as if it were a swastika.
This How its Made video on solar panels is the most useless video ever. It skipped on how solar cells are made, it just assembled the solar panel. It should be renamed "How Its Assembled" instead of "How Its Made". Useless!

The title of the segment was not "Photovoltaic cells" but "Solar panels." During season 1 (which that segment was from), the show was still small and limited to domestic manufacturing processes in Canada. The photovoltaic cells were probably made elsewhere.
