Know How… is an internet television show and video podcast that airs Thursdays at 3:00 PM Pacific Time on the TWiT network. In Episode 7 (16 August 2012), cohost Iyaz Akhtar gave a quick lesson on how to solder electronic components. Cohost Leo Laporte wanted to know the temperature of a soldering iron so he consulted The Physics Factbook.

Iyaz Akhtar solders while Leo Laporte reads a page on The Physics Factbook.	Note the web page on the laptop screen.
