Hexagons Are The Bestagons

@David Allen. This is not a new idea and people have done it. The problem is simply that you roll the foils up, so its a roll anyway even if you put in into a Hexagonal box. However if you look at Tesla new design, you will see that it is basically a hexagonal grid with round holes stamped threw it. See pictures of the grid on electrik.co

I wonder about the fluid dynamics of hexagonally piping, fluid dynamics being one of the last greatest mathematical Everest climb.

Here’s an off the wall question: Given the space efficiency of hexagons, would it make sense for say, Tesla, to manufacture hexagonal Li-Ion batteries instead of round cells? The new battery packs will be cooled from the top and bottom rather than between cells. Would the packing efficiency offset the volumetric loss between a hex and a circle?

I will never not hear “hexagons are the bestagons” in my head now.

This can make for great wallpapers

Pepperlonely Pizza

Grey has to be a artificial voice from a BCI interface right?

Cerity

Some of the wallpapers are free to all (spaceship you, etc.).

Anthony Baldini

Hm. I tried some wallpapers and was able to download them without issue. The only thing that I can think is that maybe you aren't signed in when you try to download, but you are certainly logged in to comment? Maybe worth a double-check. Is this: https://www.patreon.com/cgpgrey/posts?filters[tag]=wallpapers where you've been looking for the wallpapers? If it's none of these things (oh, and also triple-check your membership level), you may need to get in touch with Patreon for them to sort it out.

When I try to access wallpaper, I am asked to join that level of support. I am at the level above.

Anthony Baldini

Where are all the hexagon wallpapers?

Federation of Fathers

Yes, you should be able to. Be sure to check the descriptions for corrected/updated links.

This is off topic question(sorry, new to Patreon....not sure best place to ask this question). I am at the level to view Directors Commentary. Should I be able to view/download wallpaper as well?

I should go to Giants Causeway (since it’s in the video twice and near me) and wear this!

Bonnie Fiddis

I need that bee vision of Grey wallpaper right now! PLEASE!

Nikita Kulakov

you know the glitch was there, right? up in the trees.

Martin Gašparek

I just want you to know that my twin 9 year olds and I all ended up chanting "Hexagons are the bestagons" just now.

Robin Powell

Another phase in CGP Grey's continuing evolution into Hypno Toad. All hail hexagons

Hexagons may be bestagons, but white isn't right… not as a T-shirt for me, anyhow. I'd love a CPG Grey T-shirt; I've just yet to see one where I like both the design and colour, unfortunately.

Mik Scheper

Me too. But I suppose this is about the merch, not the vid.

JWST!

I think Patreon is pulling a Youtube. I just got the email hours after watching the video.

Matthew Eaton

Of course, Lord Kelvin would eventually get into this discussion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8jOxEGVyPo
