About this listen

Looking for a podcast that actually speaks engineer—one that hones your technical edge, builds real-world fluency, and takes your understanding beyond theory? I’m Mason Wilson, and I built this show with AI to cut through the noise, break down the heavy stuff, and make the complex practical. We dig into everything: thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, heat transfer, stress and strain, dynamiMason Wilson Personal Development Personal Success

  • (#91) The Four Pillars of Mechanical Integrity
    Feb 3 2026

    This episode delivers a practical, systems-level guide to mechanical engineering reliability, covering stress analysis, lubrication, sealing technology, and industrial noise control. Learn how material limits, dynamic loading, and factor-of-safety selection influence structural integrity, how tribology and bearing choice affect efficiency and service life, and how modern sealing strategies meet performance and emission requirements. The discussion also breaks down industrial acoustics, vibration control, and real-world noise measurement techniques. Built for mechanical engineers and designers who want grounded, calculation-driven insight into designing, analyzing, and maintaining durable, high-performance mechanical systems.

  • (#90) Measuring Fluid Flow From Pitot to Shockwaves
    Jan 30 2026

    Explore how fluid flow is measured across the full velocity spectrum, from low-speed Pitot tubes to high-speed shockwave diagnostics. This video explains the principles behind Pitot and Pitot-static measurements, pressure differentials, and velocity calculation, then advances into compressible flow where Mach number, shock formation, and total pressure loss dominate accuracy. Learn where classical flow measurement breaks down, how shockwaves distort readings, and which techniques engineers use to measure flow reliably in high-speed and aerospace applications. Built for mechanical, aerospace, and fluid engineers seeking a clear, physics-based understanding of flow measurement limits and methods.

  • (#89) Hydraulics Buoyancy and Ship Stability
    Jan 29 2026

    Understand the fundamentals of hydraulics, buoyancy, and ship stability through applied fluid mechanics. This video explains how fluid pressure, force transmission, and Pascal’s law govern hydraulic systems, while buoyant forces and center of gravity determine whether a vessel floats, trims, or capsizes. Learn how metacentric height, stability curves, and fluid behavior influence ship design, load distribution, and safety at sea. Built for mechanical, marine, and naval engineers seeking practical insight into fluid mechanics principles that control stability, control systems, and real-world maritime performance.
