Good news: engineerguy.com got a bit of a facelift and a new hosting service; bad news: SSL problems and slow DNS propagation causing problems — so bear with.

Yesterday I got the final cover for my book due out March 2023.

Two examples of how engineers solve problems before they have scientific certainty: How they control whether or not fluid flow is smooth or turbulent, and how they engineer useful enzymes. youtu.be/9RAMqFg7laE

Charles Parsons designed a superior steam engine called a turbine, but was ignored until he crashed a celebration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. His turbine still generates most electricity. youtu.be/-8lXXg8dWHk
