Why are aluminium drinks cans that shape?

We take things for granted everyday, sometimes we never think about the science, design and engineering behind objects which are commonplace in our lives.

Take the aluminium beverage can for example, by no means a new innovation (the first commercial use of the drinks can was for beer in the mid 1930’s with soda contents following not long after), amazingly half a trillion cans are produced worldwide every year (that’s an astounding 15,000 cans per second!).

Bill Hammack (from the University of Illinois) a.k.a the EngineeringGuy  talks about the ingenious design behind the aluminium beverage can.
