Hi Happy new year!
Nice video!
Thumbs up!
Glad to hear that :)
Happy New Year M8 :)
Happy New Year
Happy & more logical 2k18...
How humans were able to laboriously figure out this high-precision engineering system is beyond amazing!
Accurate machining my friend.
You're right my friend, aliens don't even know that kind of engineering

Thank god for mathematics, physics and mechanical engineers.
It's not like 1 genius came up with this stuff, it took many many generations of trail and improvements, the basic principles go back as far as Archimedes.
In the late nineties, when they said, "Oh the web means all information will be free," this is the kind of thing I wanted it to be. "Here's all the these explained". Excellent work, sir.
No more tiktok no more Twitter only educational material.
Yes true I see what you are saying that's how it should be right
Indian educational Videos are usually free. Huge population can support few educators as around 80% students take STEM subjects and prepare for hard entrance exams. (This channel is Indian btw)
Hell yeah !
We really do take A LOT for granted on life. Whoever invented this was a genius
its not a single person, its the small iterative changes that make this beautiful, really show the capability of human as a species
We don't get taught it in school because Albert Einstein needs to be the face of human genius for unsettling reasons...
I mean, when you consider how the interworkings of the system operates, it's really a bunch of simple systems working together. There's nothing about an engine, transmission, or clutch that are really that complicated, it's just that they work together in a larger, more complex system. The actual principles being applied and the science behind how they work have been known for thousands of years, meaning the only thing stopping us from having vehicles like this beyond a few hundred years ago was the ingenuity of someone willing and able to put them together.
While I don't understand how most things work, it's easy to understand how this works and that shows just how simple the design really is.
@@Nanamowa it's easy when you know. Also Dunning Kruger effect. I don't think we understand it just by watching this video.
Henry ford invented the first machanical engine.
Hey since you have a BMW model you may as well show the BMW drivers how do the indicators in their cars work.
NICE
Haha me living in Sweden didn't know this is an international educational flaw among BMW drivers
indi-cat-or-s? never even heard, do they make the car go faster? if so where can i get one?
@@Zaggy221 bmw driver?? ;-p))
BMW drivers have a special license exempting them from using turn signals ;) why you might ask.. because BMW is simply the best, and fuck yeah the rest ;)
I’m a former mechanic so this stuff is second-nature to me, but this video is absolutely brilliant as a visual aid for teaching my son what the clutch pedal action is actually doing in his car. Thanks so much for creating it!
I want to drive a manual and this little video taught me so much about how it works.
When I understand how things work, it’s usually easier for me to grasp how to do them
These videos are great for guys like me who never had a dad to teach you these things as well
@@jimbothegymbro7086 to be fair, I think most people take driving for granted from their instructor
too bad your second nature isn't enough to teach that dumb son smh
oh, so you're That Guy... I see
I was unknowingly doing all these things in a manual transmission, amazing. This video is absolutely brilliant.
This was really educational and easy to undestand.
I've driven a manual my whole life and never knew the science behind how the clutch worked.
Very cool video. Easy upvote from me.
Engineers are incredible. These systems are so intricately designed, it makes your head spin.
SOME engineers are amazing. I work in the blue collar industry as a welder and I will say some of the dumbest people I have EVER met have been engineers. I think it has something to do with logic and trying to make things simple but then over simplifying something at the same time.
@@rhmower8034 agree to that
I feel like I just learned so much and understood so little at the same time.
😂😂😂
@@johnogara3029 the clutch was pretty simple, the gear change animation was difficult to see what was going on
I knew much before and now i'm confusion. The straight arrows are confusing my brain. Arrows should show spining
one of the most underrated comments here :D
The entire automobile system is really complicated to understand if you're only familiar with theory. It really needs to be understood practically imo.
Yes but the clutch never makes an effort to understand me.
#curiositydriven
amazing
My answer in nutshell : it has speedlimiter :DD
LOL! Clutch OBVIOUSLY doesn't appreciate you. Clutch just isn't prepared to treat u like a real person, because Clutch is not a real person deep down inside to be honest.
@@bentonrp jeez dont take it seriously man.
That makes so much more sense, I kept thinking, how can the clutch be partially on? It’s because of the friction thing ‘clutch disk’ part, not the gears.
Thanks for the info :)
I'm not a big car guy - I don't know anything about them other than where I last parked - but the whole transmission system is a really beautiful and ingenious piece of engineering; absolutely amazing how it's evolved over the years. Excellent video, many thanks!
I would like to think that THIS WAS the original purpose of bringing the Internet to the masses...not facebook nor twitter....open the knowledge to improve the society.
Very truthful; but the 1% needs the 99% busy with mediocrity and completely ignorant for their own survival.
Great point
Nah bro it was for fortnite and tik tok (sarcasm)
I thought the original purpose was milf porn.
According to the fact the most searched word in Google is SEX,you could be right.
You guys are killing it. Great video as always.
Practical Engineering Thank you Practical Engineering. You are also making amazing content. Good luck.
*HEY PRACTICAL* how you doing? I never knew you liked _mechanical engineering_ i thought you were exclusive to _civil engineering_ glad to see you strolling on other engineering videos.
Terrible narration. The pronunciation and editing for the voiceover make it sound like a robot who has no idea what the words mean. Extremely distracting and difficult to follow.
@Nicholas Kostales Some people wont understand this video even if Morgan Freeman was narrating it, maybe you are one of those.

5 years ago, but still helping. Thank you.
I needed to know the tech behind it because it helps me drive.
I took auto mechanic back in the day and it was all books and no video. I absolutely love this video so much information and right on point.
I'm literally over here watching this for fun while some poor engineering student somewhere is cramming for an exam watching this same video.
Hello friend, I believe in you.
I thought of the same
@Sasha Braus you got this fam!
Haha
@Sasha Braus how did it go?
I've been stoned out of my mind watching these and Science Garage the last 3 hours learning how all this works. I love it so much!
1AM - time for sleep
1:10 AM - watching how clutch works
1:20 AM :)

could be worse : )
Great visualization. I'm always so afraid of slipping the clutch on hills, but its good to see this kind of description, I feel like i can more confidently and precisely practice my hill starts without fearing heavy damage to my components. Sawpping a clutchplate is no big deal, paying for a new transmission... uhhhhhh naww
This is a wonderful video, thanks!!1
Right there with ya, bro!
Thanks for this. I’m teaching my nephew how to drive a manual transmission this weekend and made this required viewing!
now imagine creating this one hell of a engineering miracle back in the 1921
Daaamnn. That shit was a century ago. It almost feels like it's been 90 something years LOL
That was already 100 years ago, damn
Imagine the cursing the moment you realized you even need it.
Imagine the intelligence that created this intelligence.
Aliens
How the hell did humans ever come up with this stuff?
I think some brilliant german guy was the first to built the 4-stroke engine as we know it plus the transmission to go along with it. Truly masterlevel engineering!
We started with simpler stuff and then kept improving
Aliens lol jk
@@paraskaith5027 Exactly. All the technology we have around us today is the result of thousands of years of experimentation and slow development (until the 20th century when tech began increasing exponentially). People just keep building on and expanding upon previous ideas and inventions. It's funny when you think about it. Stone Age people had all the ingredients to make mobile phones, computers and even space shuttles, they just didn't know it at the time.
Built by humans with alien technology...don't believe me ? ...look at your cellphone.
This was super helpful! I am learning to drive stick shift for the first time, and having an understanding of mechanically what happens when I step on the clutch helps so much!
Thank you very much for creating this video! Really help a lot of people
0:05 did u just shift from first to third? absolute madman
so much people didn't notice
Must have revved to the max in first :D
When I was still in the secondary school, my chemistry teacher used to drive like that. She would drive out of the school parking and drive for about 200m before shifting from the first into the third gear. Her car engine sounded like it was about to take off, her diesel engine easily exceeded 5000 RPM and that's a lot when we're talking about a car that's more than 15 years old.
@@0.001mm_tolerancy Brilliant! Please upload a video of your impression of the sound using only your mouth and intense gestures :D :D :D
Lmao i used to do this in my driving lessons aswell. Most of the time i skipped shifts. Much gas in 1 shift to 3 or in my second to fourth😂 my teacher always thought it was weird. But it worked so he was like alright go on
We drove in a kia ceed (6gear sport edition)
Best graphic I've ever seen on the subject combined with the best description ever! Thank you for this high quality lesson.
I'm an Engineer and I certified your comment!!! Freaking professors better use this in power transmission classes!!!!
Graphics yeah... Description....😶
czcams.com/video/4_-qDSGnA2c/video.html
I always wondered how clutch pedal made a vehicle disengage from the engine while it was still revving. Thank you. Very very cool animation. Brilliant work.
I never new about clutch-braking. I've also never owned a manual car. Thanks for the tip. And a very well done video!
This just made such a complicated system easy to understand, wow
In reality it's way harder to understand.. i wonder why.
@A V the clutch/ transmission? aint no way, is it really?
@A V Very fair I wouldn’t be able to see it from that viewpoint at this time in my life, that must be cool though
czcams.com/video/4_-qDSGnA2c/video.html
@@TLC7 A V is correct, manual transmissions really aren't that complicated, generally speaking. A typical 5-speed is pretty straightforward - with a little knowledge, it's quite easy to identify which gears are which just by playing with a model of the internals. Rebuilding one is time consuming, but again not particularly difficult (of course, given the proper tools - that's the hardest part is having the right tools - and the most expensive).
Welcome back to another episode of “Why is this in my recommend”
Honestly this is pretty cool.
I think this is episode 900...? or maybe even more?
And educational
Because you're into cars?
i searched for it lmao
czcams.com/video/4_-qDSGnA2c/video.html
The friction facing burned off the clutch of my 1968 Datsun 510 when the hydraulic system became clogged and left the clutch in a partially engaged position. The car was only 4 years old at the time with about 35,000 miles on it. Things have improved greatly in 50 years.
I love how this explains how clutch riding on hill-starts wears out everything over time. Great job.
Seriously? I spent four years learning my craft in college and you taught this in 6 minutes. Damn
Actually there’s been a lot I didn’t know. I’m a self-taught mechanic so there’s a lot I didn’t know
yeah, college really is just for your money you don't need college to be successful there's many different ways and things you can do
@PCGamer UK You are right. But if I were a car manufacturer wanting to know the thermal resistivity of an engine component, or the amount of force required to snap a tension belt over time, I'd probably call the guy with the mechanical engineering degree. Everyone has their purpose, college isn't as bad as conspirators make it seem to be. Just WAY too overpriced.
@@bmxgod4193 sigh... this is your justification for remaining ignorant I suppose. You would NOT have ANYTHING in the modern world handed to you on a silver platter if somebody hadn't bothered to get an education. This video is supposed to inspire you to go to school and learn engineering. Do you really think anything in the way a clutch works was figured out by uneducated people? So yes.. you DO need a college education if you want to be a successful designer or engineer.
I'm mostly self-educated in physics. From gravitational waves and the collision of neutron stars down to quantum uncertainty. Enough so that I can have a cogent conversation with people more formally educated than I am. But I also know whoever it is that makes the next level breakthrough in cosmology towards Professor Hawking's elegant theory of everything is going to have a math and or physics Ph.D.
Carbon Crank yes you’re right, for careers like engineering or others you most likely should get an education simply because it’s a lot of content and you also need labs and equipment to work with and practice as well as someone with experience to lead you. I said you don’t need college to be successful, I’m talking about just being successful in general like there’s a lot of other ways and things you can do. But for example a mechanic, no you don’t necessarily need college.
Videos like this make me appreciate how smart some people are...lol
@Gamercode 47 But you're humble. Not bad.
Ideas like these take a lot of trial and error. Lots of cleverness put into the design, but it was by no means conceived by a single person in a day. This genius is a result of decades of engineering trials.
@jonesyterp Everyone is... Everyone's genius.. coz everyone's got the same brain.... But it depends on how YOU use your own brain.. capacity is limitless
@@metalslug97 Exactly. People need to feel more confident in themselves.
White people actually from the wedt
This is insane!!!❤ Clear explanation, graphic, animation and everything to the top notch👌
sometimes I complain about new car prices, but after seeing some videos like this one, I think it's worth it... so much knowledge involved, it's unbelievable
9.4K dislikes are from automatic’s drivers.
Dem casuals!
I drive auto but this video was sick, I understood so much
No. It's because the video didn't correctly show how a clutch works. It's missing information.
@@GTSongwriter any other channel suggestions?
no. i am one of the disliker and i don't even have an automatic cars / bikes. this is purely because of a poor way of explaining the mechanism.
I don't even have a driving license but if youtube wants me to watch how clutch works at 2 AM I will sure do so
I just looked at my clock. It's 2:03AM. Niiice...
Thank You for helping my kids understand how a manual transmission works and how to operate it properly. ❤
this video just completely explained what i have been curious about transmissions and how the clutch works ! thank you!!!!
This is the condensed vocational education that children should learn in school so they leave high school with the knowledge to immediately begin one of a dozen different careers. I love CZcams for that education. So much DIY and clear, concise explanation, plus visuals. I spent my youth getting straight A's in subjects I barely scratched the surface of in my 20's and 30's. I feel like I've learned more useful information in my 40's than I ever did in school. Just watching YT and DIYING the crap out of life.
Awesome channel guys...subbing!
Hello James
How are you doing
An example of:
"you can learn more on youtube than school classes".
To all the kids reading this and thinking "great, I can drop out of school and watch CZcams videos, I can learn more this way", I'd say: No, you can't learn more on CZcams. Those engines are designed by people with PhDs, not by people who spend too much time on CZcams.
@youtubeShadowBan Yes, if you watch this: czcams.com/video/o96K8fkOrG8/video.html
then you will learn more than you would in high school. Because the content is made for college students.
But the "popular science" type of channels won't teach you more than high school, far from it.
And the usual "you can learn more on CZcams than at school" comments are always on popular science channels.
Lucas you are so dumb. You’re a funny guy
@@Solid_Snake88 Try to learn how to interact with other human beings in a sane and polite way. Much more important than learning how a clutch works.
Perfect example of visual learning.
這技術非常好用50多年前我教車師傅教斜路停車後再起步非常好用重型拖頭貨櫃車一樣好用，您也是一位好出色有心教導他人好導師。
I really love how precise and to the point this video is. I understand how the clutch actually works now.
I've been driving standard vehicles for over 30yrs now...
Never new how the system worked..
Till now ..
Thank you.
@Carlos,
Me too. I know the different components of the clutch but i never knew how they interconnect to move the vehicle.
I’m amazed at how an engine (including transmission) last more than 5 minutes without breaking.
Pistons regularly go up and down 100 times per second.
Lube
@@vinskivalos lube it up and your (engine) won’t scream 😩
Lube and strong materials, but mostly lube. And that's why if an engine is anything less than extremely overbuilt, running dry will ruin it very very quickly
that's what she said

I watched several videos to understand this mechanism, but this was where I really got it❤️thank you
Whoever invented this is a genius, hats off! Finally I understood how it works
The single, BEST video explaining the mechanics of the clutch system that I have EVER seen. THANK YOU.
I have searched for this video many times over the years waiting for someone to make it - this is perfect for showing teens when learning to drive - thank you!
This was so nicely explained and visualised. I wish I had materials like these in my school
the visual demonstration was PERFECT. very well done
I expected some generic description of what a clutch does, yet found the greatest and most thorough video ever on the topic. Subscribed.

it all makes sense now, this was very helpful❤
Not sure why it ended up in my feed but really great job to the video creator and the inventor of transmission & clutch
This was so very informative! Now, I know how to drive a manual transmission. My first car, when I was 15 was a manual but I’ve never fully understood exactly how it all works. I’ve seen other videos that explain how a clutch works but none were as clear and easy to understand as this video. I’m a visual learner and I must say, this video answered all my questions! Everything finally makes so much sense. Thank you thank you thank you!! Well done.
I’m so glad I found this. I’ve been trying to understand for YEARS why I half clutch the car uphill. THANK YOU MY MIND IS AT PEACE
Could you express it in your own words?
Coz I still don't fully understand it
@@bw4500 the half clutch allows it to slip and generate some RPM. When you release it that RPM generates the power to go up a hill or go faster etc
@@ashwinkumar8990 so when the clutch is 'biting' a small amount of power is being transferred through to the wheels? Just enough forward power to cancel out the backwards rolling force of gravity? Thus a stalemate and the car stays stationary?
Then the clutch fully engages, the power gets fully transferred to the wheels and the car shoots forward?
@@bw4500 essentially he means getting it to biting point before moving off
I couldn't resist a WOW, both at the engineering and the graphics
I personally appreciate your service teacher ,thank you so much
To be honest, it's crazy how much effort and time you put in this! GIVE THIS MAN A TV-SHOW
This is the most clear and beautiful video explains clutch. Really appreciate your efforts!
Clear, easy to understand video with helpful graphics and captions - great job!
By far the best video on clutch I have watched. 10/10.
The joy of manually changing gears is the best part of driving a car. A pity people who never had the pleasure to experience it. 😐
I always loved manual transmission until I had to drive one every day in heavy traffic. Oh my leg :-)
A complete trivial price to pay for efficiency and power a manual can only dream of, boomer. ;)
@@MajorasWrath1 >auto being more power efficient
Please go study before spewing your salt over cultural gaps.
@@TheMechanicalHermit how is a modern dual clutch electronically controlled transmission not more effecient? There is dramatically less time between gear shifts.
I can’t believe people have become so dumb that they can’t understand why a manual transmission is more efficient.
That's an amazing presentation. My experience of shifting gears will never be the same now!
It is a shame that they don't make many cars anymore with a manual transmission. It has been a great theft prevention system. I had Dodge Dakota for 20 years with a 5 speed manual. Can't find newer trucks with them...
I just came by your channel and I love it, the content is so smooth and easy to understand plus I’m loving the animations, keep it up I subscribed. 👏
That you used a model E86 Z4 in blue for this demo makes me very happy.
Great I wasted 60 years figuring this out then you explain it in minutes; great work.
Love this dude banging it from 1st to 3rd like it's a rental
Grin! You can do it cleanly, as long as you rev match
@@waylonk2453 sure, never suggested you couldn't. Just found out funny in a video about how a clutch works, to do so without mentioning it.
Thank you for explaining in such a nice way.
Thank you very much for making of this video🙌💖. It's really helped a lot in understanding of the clutch mechanism in a four-wheel vehicle
This video makes it so clear, I Love when learning is easy and fun-thank you
My dad's letting me drive his old car for the first time today. This videos one of the requirements for me to be let drive it, and honestly, it has helped a lot, so thanks!
How'd it go? Can you drive stick now?
God bless you
Best video I ever seen and well explained and animated
Salute to the engineers and engineering behind the smooth driving of car.
at about 5:25 : The partially released clutch acts as a brake…. This is true… however, when stationary uphill NEVER use the clutch at its "sweetspot" to stop from rolling. This is VERY bad for the clutch as it causes incredible wear AND heat!!
However, to show how an uphill-start can be performed it it is pretty good. Although, I find the use of the handbrake easier, more control.
I am from EUrop (NL) where most drivers are "native to manual" as I call it.
I´m from Czechia (central Europe), we also have mainly manuals here, but i find uphill start easier with clutch, but it also depends on the situation, if for example I´m waiting for a traffic light, I´ll use the handbrake because I´m waiting long and I want my legs to rest for a while, but if the stop is short enough I prefer the clutch start, I feel that I have more control of the car, so I think it is just about what are you used to.
Well if it’s actually to start moving the vehicle then the bite method is good. But if it’s to stay stationary for more than a couple of seconds until you can move again then yeah it’s an horrible idea to ride the clutch.
I always just make sure to be quick and get going before it has a chance to roll backwards. Only once did I use that "technique" of partially releasing the clutch and I knew it must have been terrible for the clutch. I had no idea people do that regularly.
The handbrake method must always be used. "Riding the Clutch" leads to premature failure and shuddering & its replacement is quite costly. If you have to pull away on steap hills often, then rather get an automatic. Or start off down hill rather than uphill & use a detour to get to your destination - your clutch will last much much longer & you'll save a lot of money in the long run.
@Big Foot no.. we actually CAN drive so we don't need gas-guzzling automatics.
Wow, thanks a lot! This really helped with me understanding the basics of the clutch.
很棒的離合器教學，完整看完，直觀易懂❤
I mostly understood how it worked before, but this has really solidified the mechanics of it. Thank you
My first experience with a stick: I started uphill. So those video explains why it was so much harder than I expected.
Finally today my confusion is cleared that how a actually clutch disengage the engine power, superb explanation👌👏👏👏
If there’s one thing I love humanity for , it’s this . Marvelous
this is a great video! nice work to whoever created this educational video! - there is one flaw in the beginning when the clutch is pressed in, the mechanism pressed against the diaphragm spring moves in the wrong direction (The hydraulic part about 14 seconds in) - this is fixed later in the video.
Damn this is too much quality for my mind

Cars now are built with so many distractions --- navigation touch screens, control touch screens, hands-free cell phones with voice recognition and voice-synthesized text readers, dozens of almost identical buttons on the steering wheel and console, dash and so forth --- that the manufacturers now tell us we can't live without electronic compensation devices such as "adaptive" cruise control, blind spot monitors, rear-view cameras, and the rest. When I learned to drive, there were a handful of controls --- basic operation such as brake, clutch, and throttle pedals, steering wheel, lights, wipers, turn signals, lever controls for the heater, air, and defroster, one knob for the radio (on, off, and volume, plus preset buttons, no need to fiddle with the knob on the right), and a toggle for the day-night mirror. Everything clearly and logically laid out, no need to take your eyes off the road. No distractions from the primary task of driving the car.
thank you so helpful i have a test on this whole topic tomorow. This made more sense and makes the theory make sense.
