Bill reveals the operation and engineering design underlying the famous drinking bird toy. In this video he explores the role played by the water the bird “drinks,” shows what is under the bird’s hat and demonstrates that it can operate using heat from a light bulb or by “drinking” whiskey. You can find more of Bill’s videos and his books at www.engineerguy.com.

One day i saw this man tear a micro wave down and explain how it works and it was fascinating. A toy who let Albert Einstein perplex, even after he "STUDY IT FOR 3 MONTHS!!!" Definitely worth taking a look. Like the fact that he didn't want to dismantle it, he could have, but he didn't.
Two questions. 1) what if you make it drink whiskey AND use a heat lamp at the base? 2) Can we set up a bunch of these along a trough, with solar power heating the base, and attach them all to a crankshaft and gears to spin a turbine? Hundreds and thousands of them.
Aah, 3am content

i find drinking whisky twice as fast as water relatable
The reason the bird drinks the whiskey faster is because it has a serious problem
Never knew about this toy but interesting self-perpetuating use of physics.
why does the guy look like an animation?

Yeah, that's why.

Go home, bird, you're drunk.

I also take two sips of whiskey for every sip of water
This bird was in bliss while this guy was talking. It wouldn't work as much with others. What a narrator! 😃👏💯.
Nice explanation.

My uncle drinks whisky 5x faster than water…
jajajaja didnt expect that wiskey bottle! respect to you boss
imagine being able to tell the weather outside by looking at one of these things.
When I was a kid I always thought they should build one 500 feet tall and use it for a power source.
Can something like this be modified to create a perpetual motion machine for making energy?
Please elaborate on your thoughts.
Amazing explanation.
really good video
Вай страус? Ане колибри ?
Yang milih allah like 40000 ya.
An excellent video…..well explained too. Subbed.
Get that bird a full glass of acetone, it will go ballistics !
"The reason the bird drinks faster the whiskey, than water…." – I don't think you gotta be an engineer to answer that :'D

75 minutes still drinking, and 5 minutes later, you're texting your ex
imagine being friends with MV Sullivan and seeing a drinking bird then you say, you know what? my friend invented that
8:58 what a gorgeous foundation for a joke
sweaty bird
Those birds always remind me of the movie Darkman
I really like to know how can this be use in other form for everyday living… 😀
And here I thought it was just magic, but this makes more sense. Thanks Mark Hamill.
A bird with a big nut sack
Dude, are you wearing makeup? It very much looks like it lol
I actually thought this was perpetual motion
But it's not
I guess the dislikes were Vegans from PETA
Just discovered your Channel. I love it thank you. Can you recommend a list of books in order to teach us?
Im 70% sure this guy is john cena from the future that has come back to teach science and engineering
