Engineer In Wonderland

Civil engineers that I know are inclined to get a bit grumpy about architects, on account of their artistic flair getting in the way of actually designing buildings that work.

Occasionally I get that I-wish-I'd-thought-of-that feeling. And these cunning little tins produce exactly that.

Coulombs I can do. They quantify charge and are proportional to the number of electrons shifted, and not too difficult to visualise as electrons are real little round things.
