Find Out What's Inside a Copy Machine

From Peter Piazza, About.com GuideJuly 19, 2010

Follow me on:

If you've ever wondered what the guts of a copy machine look like but haven't been foolhardy enough to actually experiment on one, you're in for a treat: Bill Hammack, the Engineer behind EngineerGuy.com, has made a video that shows you what you've been missing. Power tools, hammers, and hacksaws are included in the tool kit needed to take the Canon office copier apart. Along the way, Hammack tells the story of how Chester Carlson invented and patented the machine. It's an amusing and informative overview of the very complicated technology that we take for granted. If you're at all interested in how stuff works, you won't want to miss the EngineerGuy's excellent video.
