Their masterfully executed cross-sectioning process and meticulous photography blur the line between engineering and art, reminding us that any engineering task executed with soul and care results in something that can inspire feelings of awe (\u201cwow!\u201d) and reflection (\u201chuh.\u201d):<\/span> <\/span>that<\/em> <\/span>is art.<\/span> \u2026\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n

I saw on Hack-A-Day today that the first chapter of the book is available as a free download: <\/b><\/div>\n

Many of our favorite parts are dissected in that chapter. The innards of a ceramic disc capacitor, for example, are shown above.<\/b><\/p>\n

Thanks Bob! <\/b><\/p>\n
