Detailed engineering design, technology

[chaturnar]

Hi,
is there a website that gives the detailed design and technology of various devices/equipment and/or manufacturing processes?
howstuffworks, popsci and other similar sites have very trivial and basic information.

some typical examples i am trying to find are.. camera, fridge, helicopter, fiber optics..etc. etc.
just for curiosity

thanks
Nitin

Wikipedia is a good place to start.

You can find a lot of manufacturing process videos on Youtube, surprisingly. They're fairly detailed. It's a good place to start. I think you have to search for a specific term though, like "die casting" or "friction stir welding".
