Thank you for  supporting on Patreon! It takes quite a long time to make content like this, and the fact that you support on Patreon makes it possible for me to make videos about content that I  enjoy! I'm truly grateful.  The LAMINAR FLOW in this one is pretty incredible!  It may be the most precise laminar flow engineering design I've seen. Also, there was a ton of extra content that I didn't want to throw out, so I put it on the second channel!  Dr. Jeff is extremely smart, and It was an honor to learn this info from him!

Regards,

Destin

Hi Destin, the Micro-Motion sensors (in the warm room) are Coriolis flow meters. Most flow meters are volumetric measurements and you need to multiply with density to get mass flow. A coriolis flow meter measures mass flow directly and is also often more precise than other types of flow meters.

Awesome set of videos! Loved the deeper dives on the 2nd channel. The one thing that I missed was: how do they actually move the film through the process? With so many of the stages, twists and turns which are "hands-off" due to the use of "air hockey" effects, is it just the rollers at the beginning and end which impart all of the movement or are there mid-points (and I guess how do they keep the tension correct so the film doesn't flop like a wet noodle)?

Destin, this video was incredible! All the way through I was thinking "how is this stuff so cheap?!" The whole process so so much more complex than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for making these videos

When I was in college, a group of us took a tour of a facility that manufactured aluminum beverage-can lids -- the kinds with the "stay-tabs". (Before then, it never dawned on me that a soda can possessed a "can" part and a "lid" part!) It was similarly awesome to learn how complex, elegant, and impressive the entire production process was. A professor of mine said, "Never turn down an opportunity to take a factory tour." Wise words.

Michael Peters

hey Destin Just yesterday I dropped a postcard to you in the mail. I took the photo on 35mm, developed the film and enlarged and developed the picture in my darkroom. I find it funny that as part of the note I mentioned that I was waiting for the next part of this series, and here it is.

Stephen Herbein

Thank you Destin for putting together such an excellent video! I am in awe of the sheer scale, complexity, and precision of this process. I also really appreciate that you showed the people behind the factory. Their passion and expertise really shine through. Your videos always put a giant smile on my face and ignite my love for science. Happy to support you knowing that you are doing the same for millions of other people too.

As a professional analog photographer I am absolutely in awe and so so so glad that you're making these videos Destin. It convinced me to sign up as a member too, can't wait for my baseball!

Destin - as I watch this video, and the laminar flow, I was reminded of seeing a massive commercial paper production (Domtar in Ontario, Canada back in the 1980s). There’s something special about seeing wood fiber, suspended in water, jumping between warmed rollers (at speed and 8ft wide) in a laminar flow. To eventually become a giant roll of paper. It would be an excellent video and would tie In laminar flow.

Justin Smith

My wife and I play a game where we take a drink every time Destin mentions laminar flow. This video was a blast!

William Strickland

Does Kodak have a machine shop to manufacture or repair all those stainless and titanium pieces or do they use an outside company? I would be very interested in watching the manufacturing and machining process of the laminar flow coating bar.

Alexander Eisele

Hi Destin, I really enjoy your factory visit videos. The workers are always extremely passionate about their product and together with your genuine curiosity, the videos are real fun to watch. The editing does a great job on breaking down a complex process into simple steps. The focus on details in both the factories and your videos is just amazing.

William Slack

This is the exact sort of content that I am overjoyed to support. I didn't understand from the second video how the layering works (and why different colors are on different layers) but there so SO MUCH excellent content it just means I'm totally happy and interested in more!

Reese Glidden

Wow, these videos (especially on the second chanel) are the kind of content that I feel so fortunate to be able to help support. I wish this is what the internet was full of, but I know these will never win the algorithm race. Thanks so much for your hard work Destin! Keep chasing the stories that interest you, your curiosity is the most exciting part of your content.

Austin Burnham

It took me a while to finish this monster video, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm a software engineer, but this video makes me wish I had chosen manufacturing engineering, in the same way that Grady's videos make me wish I were a civil engineer. This is the kind of stuff I'm glad to support.

I'm really looking forward to the next Kodak video
