If you haven't watched all of Bill's videos, you should put them on your list right right now. His early stuff was a great mixture of goofy humor and fascinating explanations of the engineering behind various everyday objects.
His more recent stuff has (unfortunately, in my opinion) dropped most of the comedy, but really stepped up the overall quality.

Some highlights:
His series on Faraday's Chemical History of a Candle lectures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrHnLXMTOWM
His series on Albert Michelson’s Harmonic Analyzer (a century old device that can mechanically perform Fourier transforms)

I'd also really recommend his book on R101, the last great British airship. http://www.engineerguy.com/airship/
