Bill Hammack of Engineer Guy explains the engineering behind the aluminum beverage can: why it is cylindrical, how it is manufactured, why it narrows at the top, the double seam, and how the pull tab works.
Why HN recommends it: It is a go-to recommendation whenever cans, good design or mass-produced objects come up, and many also recommend the whole channel.
