I am a mechanical engineer with 20+ years in industry and academia. In industry I have designed and commissioned several mechanical and electro-mechanical systems in a wide range of industries: mine winding systems; mine rock crushers; water  reticulation; water and fire-tube boilers, including all their heat exchangers.In academia, I have lectured and developed curriculum in a wide range of courses, mainly in applied mechanics: statics; particle and rigid-body dynamics; mechanics of materials; mechanical vibrations; machine design, mechanics (theory) of machines. I have come to deeply understand how students learn perceived "difficulty" mechanics subjects. A solid theoretical foundation should be established in these 'bye-size' videos. Remember, “There’s nothing more practical than a good theory!” (Chesterton). I use Geogebra animations, where I can, to boost intuition and solidify your understanding. This is then followed by several representative examples.
