Veritasium's Enigma machine runs ten times ahead of its valve
Six days old and past nine million views, the engineering deep dive is still gathering views far faster than the week's second upload.

The Insane Real Engineering of the Nazi Enigma Machine
A wartime cipher device turned out to be the week's big draw. "The Insane Real Engineering of the Nazi Enigma Machine" went up on Monday, and it is still moving faster than anything else Veritasium has out. Its daily pace is roughly ten times that of the channel's other new video.
That other video, "What happens when you open the valve?", arrived three days later with a lively first day. It has settled since, gathering views at well under half its opening rate. It is a respectable start, overshadowed by a sibling that simply has not slowed down.
Further down, "The Most Dangerous Escalator In Europe" is three weeks old and still drawing a steady crowd. It rounds out a channel where the three busiest titles are all from this month.
Among the science and experiment channels, Veritasium sits second by subscribers, with only Vsauce above it. The Slow Mo Guys are next in line, a clear step below. And perhaps a machine built to keep secrets was always going to make people curious.
