SIGHTINGS AROUND THE WEB: How Products Are Made

I don't know about you but I find it fascinating to see how things are made. If you're like that, check out this Web site. It "explains and details the manufacturing process of a wide variety of products, from daily household items to complicated electronic equipment and heavy machinery. The site provides step by step descriptions of the assembly and the manufacturing process (complemented with illustrations and diagrams). Each product also has related information such as the background, how the item works, who invented the product, raw materials that were used, product applications, by-products that are generated, possible future developments, quality control procedures, etc. For example, you can find here descriptions of air bag, air conditioner, artificial snow, automobile, battery, blue jeans, chewing gum, coin, compact disc, credit card, DVD player, fireworks, hologram, jet engine, laser pointer, liquid crystal display (LCD), nuclear submarine, paint, popcorn, refrigerator, telephone, television, temporary tattoo, vaccine, vacuum cleaner or watch."
