Video is 86 years old, still better explained than most people would explain it today. Easily the best tutorial on the internet. Great job to the creator.
97 years old now😅
@@csaszargyula19491936 plus 97 equals…. holy shit I’m late for work!
*Narrator:* In order to reduce the jerky action caused by wide spaces between the spokes, we will put in _more spokes_
*Me, taking notes:* Genius.
I also screamed : Genius ! at that part.
It truly is.
🤣🤣🤣 I thought the same!!! Gosh these explanations are how it should be!!!
Prime example of how old doesn't mean outdated. This is by far the best explanation video here on YT explaining how an open-diff works.
the diff was the original kind. most cars use slip diff sometimes.
I cannot imagine who nowadays would put this much effort into a explanation video. At some point they showed us 5 dudes in 5 bikes just to tell us that something rotating farther away from the center of a circle moves faster than something closer to the center. Or they made like 10 specific metal parts only to show in the video for like 10 seconds. Anyone doing this video today would think that would be super counterproductive, I wonder if times like these would ever come back.
made in the 30's still better than modern videos
I agree with that. I have returned to this video several times in the past few years. I like the production value, clear technique and clarity of explanation...if only I could remember.
it gets to point, not talking about this and that trying to keep your attention
Old mechanical videos do seem to be the best for understanding devices.
straight to the point, and the long ass intro on people standing on bikes....
cok Bagus they are not laser pointers. but they bring it to the point
They showed you how, they showed you why and they started off making it fun. They set our brain into ease first with some acrobatics in the beginning. This video was more entertaining to watch then any reality show out there.
It's funny isn't it? Most people wouldn't give two craps about a technical video like this one made today. There isn't any style or class anymore. a majority of people couldn't change their own oil if they had to, or even drive a manual transmission car. It's sad. Cars and their tech used to be common knowledge, and now even a basic carb'd engine is foreign to most people. It's sad really. It's actually refreshing to see this video have 6.9 million views. Faith in humanity is kinda restored. lol
Will Thornton Most things taught in school are forgotten due to improper learning techniques. It is in our best interest to make simplified learning videos on all subjects and how things work. Currently only a small percentage of the population is focused on improving, inventing or updating our technology in general. If the majority understood how all current technology work, then out of all that brain power you would have more people invent new things or update current technology. It will speed up our advancement in general.
I agree. We need to get more people interested in bettering technology and society.
documentaries... they just don't make them like they used to lol now they're sp boring.
I skipped the acrobatics stuff at the beginning. Saw it, rolled my eyes, and skipped until I heard some explanations.
there are no videos of modern day that make such great quality learning anymore...
videos can't make videos, silly
+Austin Long love it
You're dead right!
These old videos (alright "films") made in the 1930s to the 1960s were real quality - focusing on education, NOT entertainment!!
+34Adamlee77 Welp i don't need to comment now.
+Michael Geronime They were making education entertaining!
Truly is BEST tutorial. Instead of just giving you the way differential works, this video explains how and why the differentials are designed like this.
All explanations of complex subjects should be like this tutorial: start with a simple concept and slowly add in details step by step until the whole thing is explained. This tutorial was beautifully done despite its age.
Back then, they explained things in a way that even an idiot would understand. And that appeals to me.. for whatever reason.
+I Have Vigors I have no idea what you mean....
+drumphil00 But, I too like this film :)
Yup and now today people are just plain fuckin dumb and stupid and docile
@@rudystraight1750 straight
I still didn't understand. Well it could be because of me having the attention span of a sloth
But what I understood is that with this type of gear were now able to put speed on the wheels we need according to the way we turn our steering
I really just learned basic differential in a 9 1/2 min. video... Amazing.
Good for you 😃💥
my goodness this is a quality video. sober, yet engaging. i need to watch it again.
and whoever invented this system did a wonderful job.
+VIIflegias
This system has a flaw. However, I would agree that it is a wonderful job. We have limited slip differentials in cars now to correct the flaw.
+Dan V Did you get that from my cousin vinny..
+VIIflegias When I read the part of your comment "sober, yet engaging", in my head I heard it in the narrators voice!
WIN CHOW
Sorry man, don't know who Vinny is.
Wait, you're sober?
Engaging video that doesn't need humour or distractions to keep the audience interested, unlike today's videos that think we have a very short attention span.
+Connor Mason What?
+Chris P. ENGAGING VIDEO THAT DOESN'T NEED HUMOUR OR DISTRACTIONS TO KEEP THE AUDIENCE INTERESTED, UNLIKE TODAY'S VIDEOS THAT THINK WE HAVE A VERY SHORT ATTENTION SPAN.
+Matt he was joking
I was actually joking, but since you would like to be a dick; let me point out that your sentence is incomplete. *This is an engaging video... Also, the way you have wrote this it looks like you are saying that the videos themselves think people have short attention spans. Shouting in broken English doesn't make it any more coherent... Finally, typing in all caps just makes you look stupid.
I was thinking the same thing as I watched it. Music, narrators speaking urban slang - we teach NOTHING seriously anymore.
i have to say it is the best tutorial about how the diferntial works, even better than any 3d example
This goes to show that modern instructional videos suck. This video describes everything in a profesional way without having to loose the viewer. I give this video a good 100 spokes out of spokes on a gear
replace those spokes for teeth and you've won.
Except this video is explaining something super simple, can the same style be applied to more complex ideas and not lose the viewer?
Good point, however I'm simply saying this out of annoyance when I try to find something to be explained to me. It just so happened to be this video, that I found it to be good. That's all :).
Esteban Martinez f
Explaination come from the inventor vs the copiers
MOAR SPOKES
For the year this was made, it really is an excellent piece of film-making. A lot of work and expertise went in to this.
over 70years old and still the best tutorial ever
MAGA
These videos are so much better than most of the lectures and powerpoints of today
i just love these old films because they were better at ilustrating how stuff works wile still making it interesting to listen to :)
do you have other examples of old films teaching stuff? I'm really interested in that. :)
im sorry but i do not know of any other old material like this :)
Jam Handy made a lot of films for GM and instructional films for the Army. Search "Jeff Quitney" and "wdtvlive42" on CZcams, they have a lot of similar films.
awsome thanke you :)
the mechanisms themselves were simpler too the engines of today are much more intrikate than this but i do agree that this explanation is flawless
engineering problem? more spokes
yess
Joshua Ta Haha always xD
More struts! More boosters!
Almost got it. actually
, more students equates to more funding. Absolutely nothing to do with learning and even less to do with understanding anything.
dont understand anything?!? MOARR SPOOOKKEEESS!!!!
ive learned more about cars and their components from watching these black and white films than almost anything "new" on youtube, including complicated things like torque converters. mostly due to the use of physical models that go from simplistic to show the basic principle and get more advanced to show exact operation and all features as opposed to cgi or just pointing out parts of a disassembled unit.
makes me wish we could go back to that age where people actually learned things about what they owned and knew how they worked so that instead of replacing the whole engine when it breaks down they know just to replace a gasket or whatever.
Very true, but the thing is, this is a consumerism culture, they want to keep it that way, it creates a bigger paycheck for them, and they themselves are caught up in the consumerism society, it's a self corrupting system, the longer it moves, the more corrupt it gets, until it collapses under itself.
I went to a tech school in 2011 to learn automotive repair. This was the video they used. 90 years old and still my go to for explaining it to others.
This is an excellent explanation and is superb editing for the 1930's.
Best explanation I've seen in 69 years!! I always knew what a diff DID but never quite fully understood the :how" bit, Now, thanks to a 1930s film, I do!
I love how they actually mocked up the axle running through the passenger compartment.
This is so simple and fucking GENIUS.
After 45 years I find a really good explanation of a differential 👏👏👏👏👏
Hopefully, this amazing technology will one day make it's way into modern vehicles.
Once you watch this video you'll never be able to forget how a differential drive works. Amazing explanation....
I have watched a dozen super modern fancy animations and still didn't understand it. But now I do. Simplicity is key.
i still dont understand it
can u help me
Still the best explanation of how a basic diff works on the entire internet.
See THIS is what I was looking for. Why are all of the modern videos so hard to understand? This is simple and I love how there is a SIMPLE demonstration.
I was born in the 70's but goddamn I love the pre-50's!
Especially the advertising tactics.
Don't get me wrong, the US had plenty of propaganda, but the advertising of consumer products was done using education and demonstrating benefit, not this preying on the emotions and insecurities shit you see in today's marketing.
I think Americans have become complacent and lazy in regards to world-leading.
because you are fucking idiot that's why you don't understand
Due to the spring up of consumerism and pop-culture. The whole system is based on getting people to buy just about anything & everything.
Nintendo101maniac 100% true. Almosr every month we have a fucking holiday that is rooted in consumerism. Valentine's Day = flowers and candy. Thanksgiving = turkey meat and turkey fryers. Independence Day = fireworks. St. Patrick's Day = corned beef and anything green. Halloween = costumes and candy. You get the point. And if the corporations don't make a million dollars over last year, the shareholders throw a hissy fit, threaten to vote out the chairman, and it makes the 10'o'clock news that Halloween sucked this year for those industries because they didn't make an extra million or two over last year.
Wish I was born in the 70s.
This makes so much sense now. i was like how the F does a differential work and then i found this video. i can't find a video better than this one. amazing for its time.
It's really funny to me how awesome clearly these old videos can explain things
This is brilliant. This is how you explain something. If you want more people in STEM, you need teachers like this.
Now I understand how differential works, thanks to this old beautiful video...
I wish they would make more videos like this today. Brilliantly concise and so informative.
Very clear easy to follow & understand. Videos like this should be brought back & shown in schools today. Never know who it may help to inspire the next..........
I don't usually comment but that was easily the best explanation of a differential I've seen. Love how they go from original problem, to solution, to refinement and so on. That procedural explanation was fantastic, feels very practical an unencumbered. And the effort needed to make all those models and the dramatic way they run on the sides of the wheels at the end there all to illustrate a point... beautiful.
I've been working on my own cars-and with my pops on all my family's cars-since I was very little (something I'm doing with my son, too!). I've seen many diffs taken apart, and I understand well what they do and their purposes, but I never completely understood HOW they work until now. Thank you 1930s General Motors, and thanks to the people who still appreciate these great old engineering videos enough to post them so other people (with good taste) can enjoy them, too. They really are super cool, and it's sad you don't see vids like this anymore from car companies explaining their new tech... Thanks again!
No wonder people seemed so smart back in the day, with the simplicity of explaining complex phenomenon everyone was guaranteed to learn! These these its all about how many words you can fit in one minute that qualifies as a good explanation.
Loud and clear. I grew up with a lot curiosity and this was the most thing that drove me crazy.
I had NO IDEA why this was in my queue, but I'm glad I watched it anyway. Fascinating. Engineering is awesome when it's explained well.
OMGOMGOMG, exactly what I've been looking for all the time! Geez, I swear, a 1930s B&W video does a much better job of explaining things compared to videos nowadays.
Thank you, uploader!
this is actually the BEST TUTORIAL on differential.. great work :)
It's 2020...and I can promise you that no video could be better than this!!...such a great quality and ease of understanding...love it!!!
yknow, im glad i gave this video a chance. my first thought was its old so maybe its outdated, but i stuck with it. one of the best explanation videos ive ever seen.
it's seems to me that the old instructional and howto videos do a better job at explaining things then the videos today
Brilliant!!! Never explained better. This explanation was spot on, it used a totally unrelated event that is linked to the differentials in principle. That is of the riders, it got you understanding the concept in small increments as it went along and that is one of the best ways to learn anything. Get people seeing relationships with things seemingly unrelated that they are more likely to get and incrementally increase the complexity while still using examples we can relate to and clear concise language. Nowadays everybody wants to show how smart they are by using all sorts of technical jargon only insiders know. Exceptional piece if you ask me. Funny how dumb we get the more we know and the more advanced we get.
I’ve watched a lot of differential videos on CZcams and this is the best explanation I’ve ever seen/heard. All the others don’t even come close
it is indeed the best tutorial on this subject, and the best transmission explanation video is also from this era.
I find this absolutely fascinating!
This is absolutely amazing.
The differential is such a satisfying piece of engineering and now i understand it completely too! Awesome! 😄
Oh my goodness one of - if not the best - tutorials I've ever seen. Absolutely fantastic!
i just came here after watching this topic on learn engineering. and this is way better. i mean way better.
Yeah those 1930 guys are something.
OMG :O Cant believe this video was made in 30s :O . The best clear explanation of differential gear out there (y)
I have watched many videos to understand differential gear out of all this is the best video to understand in a very simple way. Awesome Creation.
Till the date this is the best video explain differential working. Non technical persons also can understand. Great work
Excellent explanation! I was able to understand this tutorial. THANK you!
Excellent explanation must say this was d best explanation ever regarding a differential. HATSOFF
Excellent video. Clearest explanation of a diff. I've ever seen. I love the "stiff" quality of the commentary. Of course he annunciates really clearly to compensate for the lower sound recording quality available at the time.
This is the best and easiest way to learn the car mechanism system.Thanks for uploading this best video on CZcams!
omg this guy needs to teach me everything
in life. he broke that down so well
Now we have positive traction w/ clutches, but that's another story 😂
I understood this video's explanation of a differential more than those animated versions lol
This video really helps you grasps the concept on how a differential works. By explaining in simple terms in sporks, to eventually transforming it to a more complicated looking gear differential. Yet essentially the principle is the same.
Almost from three years i wondering that type of video no video can understand me but this is one video in very simple way salute you sir
This is quite simply a beautiful masterpiece; I think I'm in love with differentials now :)
+The Pain Continues Diffs make it so that you can get stuck in two inches of dust. Open diffs are the devil
Oh, how come?
late response, but anyway: with an open differential, if one wheel loses traction completely, all power goes to that wheel, spinning it in place while the tire that has grip will not move.
I love old videos like that. All this CGI crap has no human touch. I was actually half expecting that couple at the end to be running on the drums while lighting a Lucky Strike and sipping a scotch and soda.
Haha! Boozing up in the breakroom during lunch before jumping back on the lathe or in the paint booth with no mask with lead paint, slapping the secretaries ass. What an awesome time that must have been.
agreed the best description of a differential I've seen so far.
อธิบายได้ชัดเจนมากๆ
Very clearly. Never explained better.
Well, how about that. I have worked on cars all my life, and even when explained to me I never quite caught on to what exactly went on inside that chunk. When it's laid out in an A- B-C method it's not complicated at all. Thanks for that.
Same, never really understood the workings of a diff, but this made it so easy to understand using the spokes.
I never even how one worked. So, I paused at 3:46 to try and figure out my own design, and I imagined a free wheel sprocket like on a bicycle. They broke it down to individual points of contact, and then to two gears that can freely rotate past a fixed gear axle, and that rotation of those two gap gears moves the other axle forward. Plus, they emphasized on gaps in spokes and smoothness. Its an amazing explanation.
I have watched both modern computer simulations and this video from 1936. Believe it or not....I learned and understood more from this video than the high tech one. Awesome video, Sometime, simpler is better. Awesome.
I love these videos from back then. They are precise!
Excellent video. Made almost 90 years ago and still better than a lot of modern videos that try to explain the same concept.
this is beautiful
Machines rule the world, we rule the machines. Proud to be a student of Mechanical engineering :)
I'm looking to study mechanical/aerospace engineering too :D
What a fantastic way of looking at the principles of the differential!
Indeed one of the best tutorials. They have worked hard to explain each of the basic steps. Very well done!!!
This video is far, far better than the rubbish that is put out today. How good was that clip? Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
better than modern 3d videos
Wow...so brilliantly, simplified , well explained tutorial. The basics explained so well. More such quality videos should be there on several topics.
This tutorial is of the best quality. Very clear and illustrative.
wow may be so called outdated but works way better than any modern video lol
i feel like i learn more on youtube than i do at school wtf
Truly the best explanation of differential gears that i have ever seen.
this is the best differential explanation I have ever seen. So damn intuitive and well explained that even a child could grasp the concept - it's amazing that this was made back in the 30s.
Why can't everything be explained like this.
oh shiz Sakamoto needed an explanation?!
Back when America was great!
1930s dude. great depression (sorry idk if this is a joke)
The depression was before 1930.
it was just starting in 1930 and it didn't end till about the 40's
It'll be made great again with Trump
kwas101 Trupm's grandfather time?
I’m very impressed with how informational this was considering its age. It made it very simple to understand.
Seeing this video makes it so much easier to visualise how a limited slip diff and locked diff works. Wonderful video. Wish I had seen it way back in, well, the '30's.
feel free to look up the turbo encabulator to understand more about the mechanical workings of your vehicle :)
Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center.
hahahhaha. two yoods
what's a yout?
Best explanation I have ever seen of what the diff does and how it does it .
They went through a lot of effort to build all of those models. Very well done. I love watching this video.
that was amazing explanation.
"In order to reduce the jerky action cause by wide spaces between the spokes, we will add........MORE SPOKES!"
im always in awe at these old videos because of the jigs and modles they make for the demonstrations.
Thank You for this upload, I've always known what a differential gear did, what I didn't know was HOW it did it until I watched this upload, so once again thank you this is the best tutorial by far and trust me I've watched about fifty uploads on this subject on youtube.
