I would be inclined to read up a bit on IKB, what he did and didn't do, how many failures he had and how many people he made bankrupt working for him, his disregard for the safety of those who worked for him. A genius on paper, but lacked common sense. He took on work his father had designed and started as in the Thames tunnel. The Clifton suspension bridge is more of a memorial to him rather than a feat of his engineering skill. It was taken on and completed 5 years after his death by Hawkshaw and Barlow who submitted a redesigned bridge far removed from IKBs vision. I have been an engineer for 42 years and had my eyes opened when I started researching IKB. Don't get me wrong, the man had some fantastic ideas but also a gung-ho approach. If you read up on him, you will realise that there should have been other engineers accredited to what IKB laid claim to. He is a fascinating man.

This is why he is my favorite historical figure. They done a test once for his propeller design and it was only 5% less efficient than a modern propeller designed on a computer

Nowadays people take great delight in identifying some of the things he got wrong. Most could not achieve a fraction of his huge achievements. An incredible full but sadly short life.

He accidenly swallowed a gold coin when catching it in his mouth, while amusing his young son. It got stuck in his wind pipe. Despite making a special device to remove it, it was his father's idea, to strap him on a board, and turn him upside down, and out fell the coin.

Many thanks, a fitting tribute to one of the world's greatest engineers.

He died in a stroke at 53 years old what a genius man and also thank you for amazing content.

His drive is humbling, his imagination and refusal to accept limitation is laudable. Realize the tremendous engineering behind something like that propeller, there are many forces and calculations involved. Thanks for posting.

Not quite. The loading gauge is a different concept to rail gauge. What I think you're getting at is the loading gauge, which is dictated by the restrictive clearances of infrastructure built for earlier, much smaller trains. The UK could run trains to similar dimensions as Japan and American were it not for this restrictive loading gauge, which is one of the smallest for the gauge of track in the world.

I K B ... Enjoyed that. Thank you. My all time engineering hero far above my others Soichiro Honda and Colin Chapman and Mitchell who designed those magnificent Supermarine Aeroplanes. Following a family split in late 1951, little nine year old me and six year old younger brother ended up living with three aged aunts and an uncle. We lived in a three storey flat above a Haberdashery shop. They were kind to us all things considered but, did not want two lively little boys all over the shop all the time. They gave us each a penny for a Platform Ticket at the nearby main line railway station. Most kids were penniless in still war impoverished UK had past times and hobbies like Bird Nesting and Train Spotting. So off to the station to watch the Railway Train action. Many heavy steam freight trains one after another up from South Wales a hub of UK heavy industry and still is to a lesser extent. Supplying all manner of materials for the Nation's wide Industrial base. Then I saw something remarkable some months later at the railway station. By that time I was a keen railway enthusiast and made many friends on the Stations as a result of that common interest. That something remarkable was the sight of a Great Western Castle Class Express Steam Locomotive on "running in" shake down duties from Swindon Railway Works having been recently refurbished there and so looking like a new machine. Then as it got nearer to the Station, I saw it had a massive nameplate, much larger than those other castle class nameplates. As it passed me closeby, I read that locomotive's new nameplate :~ Isambard Kingdom Brunel ..... Number 5069 What the .. who he? I soon found out. IKB my engineering Hero ever since. Mr Great Western.

I walked on the suspention bridge

The comments include a sentence about the Box Tunnel. This tunnel is aligned roughly east west with a gradient of ( Maybe) 1 in 100 this its high end facing east. I read that on April 9th ( Brunel's birthday) the sunrise shines directly down the Tunnel so he arrainged a predawn party at the west end to see a blast of sunlight at sunrise. One year in the 1960s April 9th fell on a Sunday. I was living in Bristol then so I and a friend rose before dawn to see this. Unfortunately that morning was completely overcast. So no sunshine

Brunel was a genius, but don't forget the people that did the building, there must have been some good problem solvers there.

Bravo from France!

A good documentary - but incomplete. An extension of the railway to Falmouth was shown on the map but nothing more was said after the Tamar was bridged by the Royal Albert. For nearly three centuries, Falmouth had been the "packet port", where packets of mail for the New World and other destinations had been dispatched (and received). The railway was intended to speed the packets over land from London to Falmouth. The number of bridges that Brunel had to build between Plymouth and Falmouth, to get over the streams and ravines which ran perpendicular to the route of the track, was huge. Some of those bridges, viaducts and suspension bridges are still in use today. The terminus at Falmouth was considered the end of the project and an elegant station suitable for its place was built, modelled on Bristol Temple Meads. The station still stands, somewhat worse for wear and in need of maintenance. But the age of sail was dying. Steam boats regularly crossed the Atlantic but did not need Falmouth's natural harbour (second in the world after Sydney). Southampton took over as the principal port and before long the Packet Ships had disappeared. The main line was split at Truro and the rail pushed through to Penzance. Falmouth became a mere branch line although in the 1950s, holiday specials took holiday makers from London to Falmouth with no change. Destined for closure under Beeching, it survived after one of its double lines was torn up. It has experienced a significant revival over the last 20+ years as passengers use it for shopping and work in Truro; the road between the two is almost permanently jammed. The 30 minute train journey can take 90+ minutes by car. It's 10.5 miles! The old Falmouth station, the four viaducts and four long tunnels are well worth the short journey. The Prince of Wales (the future Edward VII) made it in May 1880 to lay the foundation stone of Truro Cathedral.

All she can do is intone disparaging remarks about the first sub aquatic tunnel IN THE WORLD underneath the river Thames and say; "the tunneling shield was untried and had many problems." But then all SHE can do is read a script. She -- and the person that wrote it-- wouldn't know a tunnel shield from a splash shield in a urinal -- just the same as once a few 'arty farty' brain fornicators saw a film of the first Severn Bridge between Aust and Monmouth. Who made sneering disparaging comments till someone who was in engineering let them know it was the longest suspension bridge of its type in the world in 1966. And could have added it was the lightest -- by far -- of its type anywhere in the world also. Because of its revolutionary box construction used to carry the road traffic lanes. Which was also aerodynamically the best and safest design anywhere in the world then.Yet another first that nose-picking brain fornicators who never made anything except a cock up knew nine times the cube root of bugger all about.
