How You Should NOT Do Engineering
I've been a part of quite a few engineering projects, and they're never not challenging. Always surprises, always over time, always over budget, it's great!! I did one earlier this year for a video I was going to do on trusses. It was a complete disaster that cost me months of my time. Failure is always a good teacher, so I figured it would be a good example of what you should and shouldn't do when taking on new projects.

Civil engineering graduate chiming in here. There are a number of reasons your truss failed but the biggest reason was the design. Your truss was assembled purely on butt joints with no interlocking members. At this point you are striclty testing the resilieny of the staples and the paper glue you applied on the gusset plate (IE testing the connection strength not the member strength). if you had used an alternative material to wood and used the same build and design methedology you would get neearly the same results.

Yup! Gonna redo this with proper joints

I learned so much from this comment. Thank you for that wisdom.
👍 We learn much more from failing than successful experiments!👏👏
This video rocks, loved how you showed a failure and asked lots of thought-provoking questions at the end!!
planning stage is big underrated but theres a reason its the most time consuming. good video!
U da man thx for everything you do
3D print the truss and beam, have the same volume between them and do 100% infill. This will remove the fail point of the joints. If that is not an option use good woodworking glue cured overnight while clamped together instead of a stapler. My high school wood shop had a project just like this but using chopsticks. I did a truss reinforced arch and got to 45 pounds using chop sticks!

Yea I need to return to basics. Embarrassed that I can't build a popsickle stick bridge 😂😂
Clearly load it from top compression is stronger than tension

Why is compression stronger than tension?

I'm curious about this as well because in my materials and processes mfg course I'm taking this semester we have treated the loading of tension the same as compression just opposites you know when making tensile strength diagrams. I'm very curious now.
I tried making a comment how to do this but I realized I’m just a lil engineering student and I should wait for the real wisdom of engineers to fill in. I have a long way to go
Bro how can I get job from anywhere where we can apply to company as offcampus and how we can do it having better skils but not a directed graph to apply. For the company
If your getting so caught up on the weight couldn’t you just normalize the weights of the structure? Also U of A MECE 3rd Year! Love your stuff!
