Brilliant way to get Literally hands on experience and experimentation, linking engineering language with real life modeling experience. Awesome video, Thanks!
Hey Brenden, best wishes on your new endeavour. I've got really cool insights from your videos. Looking forward to all the awesome content you'll be producing in the near future!
Hi Harikumar, thanks for the support and encougement. The new content should be good, also happy to take request if there is something you want wondered about.
I’m a final year student in structural engineering and this compliments so much I learned in steel design, like effective length, buckling stability, and bucking shapes.
That is awesome! Might be looking to this for a Christmas present I'd say (for my nephew, and one for me haha). Will come back for the affiliate link if so.
They had been playing with kit 1 before shooting the video, but I didn't let them play the kit 2&3 even they had asked many times. They definitely like the 'toys' lol.
Very interesting set of toys for the grown ups😃. Nice representation of some of the basic stuff in engineering, Keep going mate. This setup can actually make our judgement on mechanics more meaningful and intuitive.
Hi deepak, thanks for the support, it is a great kit for kids of all ages =D tho smaller kids need to be carefull due to the small parts. glad that you enjoyed it.
Good to see your review on this product from my home country 🇧🇷 The idea behind the structural sections and connections is amazing, pretty useful to illustrate the real life engineering. Cheers
Damn, very cool - this sure beats the Erector set, Lincoln logs, and Tinker toys that I learned from as a kid about 58 years ago. This definitely would be a useful tool for SE classes at University. Thanks for sharing.
@@BrendanHasty very true. The kits are really high quality. What's more is they serve to illustrate structural principles we sometimes have a hard time explaining. Guess I have to set aside some money for the next kits. 🙂
That’s a neat kit. I only had Lego and Meccano. Fisher (the anchor and fastener brand) had construction toys in the 80’s called Fishertechnik which also came with motorized parts.
@@BrendanHasty My father had the Fishertechnik Computing kit, was pretty cool with a robot arm that could lift up magnets. He interfaced it with a BBC micro model B.
If you were to pick an area of research right now, what do you think is a worthwhile area to research in? I am a masters student about to start my research for dissertation. Would love to hear your advice. Would be more awesome if you would make a video on structural engineering research!
Hi Harikumar, I would looking to a number of thing it just depends on what you enjoy, structural dynamics is always great, Looking into modal design(modern methods of construction MMC) is also relevent for the future of engineering, or research into reducing embiod carbon like concrete. if you are into programming as well parametric design of structure would be great.
@@BrendanHasty Thanks a lot for taking the time to respond! Do you have any advice on structural dynamic research areas? I do like to code and dynamics interest me. I've dabbled with machine learning for a while for structural health monitoring application but I'm struggling to find a good topic for research using ML. Not enough datasets in out field 🤔
Hi Brendan. Really enjoy your videos. I've recently taken a role on an oil refinery which has lots of corroded steel. I can't seem to find any solutions on repair methods for heavily pitted or corroded steel beams and columns and wondered if there was any guidance on this subject or legislation that you are aware of
Hi Jamie, you need to assess the degreatation of the steel, how much good steel is left and does it still have enought strength? after the rust has been removed. you need to remove all the rust and prime the steel, then it needed to protected from futher degreation, it the steel is too degrated it will need to be replaced. i am sure they will have a way they fix these things
Just subscribed! Great content! Question, do you know of anyone on RUclips creating content from an architectural point of view, more specifically on building design for LIFE SAFETY, as in code requirements for fire walls. Egress, fire etc?
Hi Octuber, the weight it would change the dynamics, the water tanks are used on tall building to help conterbalance the structural behaviour it is called a tuned mass dampeners they come in many forms
@@BrendanHasty I know what they are called but true damping occurs when the frequency of sloshing matches the frequency of the disturbance. Lumpin mass on the top floor is not wise and at times dangerous if the designer does not perforn nonlinear analysis to "fine tune" the damper to the proper disturbance frequencies which are typically wind related in tall buildings and related to comfort levels. Earthquake forces are handled differently through core shear walls and will need to adress the additional forces from the added mass of the tank or steel pendulum.
Hi Octuber, yes the additional weight on the top floor needs to be considered, and needs to be finely tuned to dampen peak frequencies. For taller building due to them typically being softer dampers can help with reducing either earthquake or wind lateral forces. But with earthquake there is a drawback of the additional load.
Brendan i am think i about starting online entrepreneur journey as construction design engineer so what advice would you give to keep in mind to be successful at it - like any book recommendations or practical tips to get those initial clients for projects without wasting time..
Hi Mohib,getting strarted is the hardest and getting the momentim will be hard. it can also take off when you least expect it to. I will look into improving your softskill and comminication skills, there are link if the discriptions for some good reccomendations.

Those structural kits are so great. The young engineers made the video funnier also.👌
lol, thanks for your support!

Hi Allan, thanks for the support. Agree the models are amazing.

absolutely loved it
Thanks for the support.
Great display Brendan and certainly helps developing intuition.Understanding force and moment transfer in a structure is critical.
Hi Adrian, thanks it does make Structural mechanic more intuitive. These basic principles are miss understood and crtical to structural design
I’m a final year student in structural engineering and this compliments so much I learned in steel design, like effective length, buckling stability, and bucking shapes.
thanks OnePrespective, glad that you found it informative, wishing luck in your final year.
I'm a mechanical engineer and not a structural engineer, but I just bought this because there's always new things to learn🤩
Fantastic, always wanted these kits for teaching Architects at local University
That is awesome! Might be looking to this for a Christmas present I'd say (for my nephew, and one for me haha). Will come back for the affiliate link if so.
It is great for the kids to create structural feeling. I will buy this to my son someday. Thanks from Brasil ✌

Bought this last year! Excellent piece of kit
Hi Mil, Yea it is an amazing kit, and great to explain structural behaviour.
Good to see your review on this product from my home country 🇧🇷
The idea behind the structural sections and connections is amazing, pretty useful to illustrate the real life engineering. Cheers
Hi Ian, it is a great tool from Brizal, thanks for the support. hope you found it insightfull
Loved this.
Just ordered one. I know what me and my daughter will be doing for Christmas 🤓😎
Hope you have many fun hours with them
Damn, very cool - this sure beats the Erector set, Lincoln logs, and Tinker toys that I learned from as a kid about 58 years ago. This definitely would be a useful tool for SE classes at University. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bobby, thanks for the support, it is better then what I grew up with which was only logo techinica. it will be helpful for SE class's at uni
These engineers just keep getting younger and younger!
lol
Great work Brendan!!
thanks for the suppport Jatinder.
Thank you, Brendan! I love your videos, man. I already have kit 1. You've motivated me to get 2 & 3. 🙂
They are great, aren't they? The only drawback is the price is on the higher side.
@@BrendanHasty very true. The kits are really high quality. What's more is they serve to illustrate structural principles we sometimes have a hard time explaining. Guess I have to set aside some money for the next kits. 🙂
absolutely incredible content
Thanks Vishal, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Brenden, great examples in a non-structural language for the kids can relate to. Maybe it will peek the thirst for engineering 🙂
Stay safe
Malik.
it looked like it peak my youngest intrest, thanks for the support Stay safe and keep learning.
Great job guys 😁⭐️👍
Thanks for the support Ricardo, glad you enjoyed it.
love your videos, keep it up!
Thanks TMS the support is greatly appreciated.

30X40 products some videos on architecture, not sure they cover LIFE SAFETY tho.
The architects do get tired of it much quicker than your boys... thanks for a toy idea for myself :)
This is funny. My boys had been playing with the kit 1 many times before shooting the video, obviously they liked it.
6:33 one is knowing engineering but you must know your toys 🤣 I am getting this for my boys!
no im not :D
Hi Grzegorz, engineering toys are great but they can be expensive. Specially if only for your boys 😀
I’m proud because i’m brazilian
It creates by Brazilian architect.
yea it is, an amazing way to understand structural mechanics. I mentioned that in the discription =D
The water on top changes the dynamic parameters, namely the mass and has very little to do with the sloshing of the water tank.
