Post Tension Failure Florida Bridge Collapse | Engineering EXPLAINED!
Warning, small amount of salty language by AvE as usual.
Who is the Canadian YouTuber "AvE"?
June 28, 2016
The irreverent Canadian YouTuber that goes by the name "AvE" produces great video content. He mostly tears apart power tools, engines, pump components, and electronicals to show us how they work (or don't work). He cusses with aplomb and offends all comers, but his "BOLTR" tool tear-downs are terrific. The AvE channel represents some of the best YouTube has to offer.
I suspect he is owner of a surface mining operation (aggregate or gold/diamonds). Trained in metallurgy, electronics, and hydraulics. Likely a formal education in mine engineering, possibly a licensed enginerd. Has the prospector gene. Wears more than one hat. Possible past job experience with a large mining company - a foreman or controls engineer/troubleshooter for Teck(?) or a heavy equipment dealer/servicer. He travels with some regularity, thus controls his own schedule and has reason to connect with other industry pros, do consulting work, purchase equipment, attend conferences, and act like a manager. I don't think he is a corpo-shill salesman, but he might buy/repair/use/sell heavy machinery. Hands like a Caterpillar mechanic. Glasses. Intermittent beard. Irish-Dutch with family ties to eastern Canada. Whoever he is, I wish he were my neighbor and/or hiring.
