Principles of hydraulics explained, centering on the value for safety & comfort of hydraulic brakes. Producer: Handy (Jam) Organization Sponsor: Chevrolet Motor Company

@@SimonWoodburyForget Of course. It's a good thing to go over the basics frequently though. I've failed my fair share of tests because I forgot the basics.

Granted, I'm taking a medium level automotive class for the purposes of self diagnosis and repair of relatively easy to fix problems, not becoming an actual mechanic. Nothing as surface level as just knowing how to replace fluids and change brakes, but stuff like learning how to diagnose and replace a transmission, my belts and to better recognize issues before they become expensive. I guess you may have a point that it isn't particularly helpful if you're getting into something more serious, but it's a great foundation for newbies like me.
@@SimonWoodburyForget It's not about figuring it out. It's about being able to relate it easily to other things you know. That, isn't so easily done.

Been watching these Old School Videos from this Channel. From Suspension, Rear differential, and now this one, I have to say these are the most well explained videos than the modern, 3D, animated, videos we have today. Thanks for this!
Not according to cancel culture. They think that we had today's social standards and morals since homo-sapiens came into existence therefore everything up until 5 years ago is bad and shouldn't be known. It's a sad world we live in. Social media is one to blame for the interconnectivity of millions of idiots.
The mechanical aspects of early vehicles I will always be able to respect. That and these old training videos/advertisements. My engine compartment has only 5 wires in it or somethin around there, can't stand harness work.
In the new Hyundai Veloster, its super easy to service or take the engine out. Just one wire harness to unplug, unbolt transmission, and a couple motor mounts and the engine is out in no time.
If I remember correctly it's the mid-atlantic accent. It was mainly used in radio and television due to the technical constraints of speakers of that era.

These videos are absolutely incredible. Through the use of easily understandable vocabulary and simple demonstrational models, I was able to understand the basic concept in only a 1 minutes and 30 second. I’ve wondered how hydraulics worked for a while, but always thought it would be too confusing to learn. Any other modern CZcams video wouldn’t even be past the intro by 1 minutes and 30 seconds, but this video was straight to the point. And any school courses would’ve taken days of useless background knowledge and history before getting to the actual subject.
@@Francois_Dupont Drum brakes are excellent for parking brakes on steep hills as they are "self energizing" meaning they can generate their own breaking power once started. However they can lock-up under hard breaking reducing your breaking power in emergency's.
They're not dumbing it down. It's being explained in a very concise way. Exact and to the point. Video's like the ones produced today over explain simple concepts because the concepts "Are" simple. It's just that the presenters like those on CZcams videos need to make themselves "Seem" more intelligent than another. Don't be fooled by people who think that they are smarter than others. They're not ! They've just learnt different things than what other people have.
Simple Focused Clear Detailed No music, no color, no fancy text titles or anything. God bless those who made those videos. And the voice of that man seems lasted for 50 years. Every documentary video had that voice.

I've read, watched, listened, thought and imagined for long time, years to be precise. Now in 3 minutes I understood! Are our brains filled with complications?
Ikr, but if you think about it, the education system is pretty outdated and was probably the same since the time the original video was made. Just a bland school system that tests students skill in memory not knowledge where the goal is to make the exact same type of person through the fact that they have to get all As. The real wish is, if only school was based on students interests, not unoriginal information.
@@isthisagoodname4972 that's very true. Interests combined with aptitude tests and a choice bewteen hands on learning and/or auditory lessons would probably make the best learning environment
Lucky for them, but it isn't just education thats fruad its also just how society is designed in general and this goes for the whole world. Like how kids have to spend hours at school and probably dont like it then graduate or drop out, just to get a job they will probably hate doing and have to spend hours doing it just for minimal wage and how it continues like that until you retire. Some people get it easy and many get it hard. And it leads to people feeling depressed during school hoping they get it over with, then nothing gets better after school and they either have to go with it or just mentally suffer to the point where they start to feel suicidal. If only humanity made it you have more meaning to life other than to work. Thats all we do, work.
Love how these vintage videos simplify mechanical topics into easily understood explanations and demonstrations. Drum brakes as the primary car brakes though... well that's getting a bit too vintage, haha.
Not everyone's goal in life is to get from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Slower accelerating cars still get the job done, and usually last longer because the RPM's are kept down and prevent larger wear on parts.
these videos that explains "complicated" topics in such simplicity shows why in the past they used to make great engineering projects with many breakthroughs.
It's interesting or even emotional to think that while almost certainly all the people involved in the making of this are dead by now, their work has been preserved and passed down
Perhaps you are a visual learner? In college we are studying Steam turbines, and teacher only had pictures and then she explained stuff. I feel like a single youtube video where route of the steam was animated, explained it better than teacher.
3:11 I think I just nerded out. The press multiplies Force, not Power. Lol. It's a Force multiplier because of conservation of Energy. Power is Energy distributed over a Time interval. Same energy, same time interval = same power. Work = Force * Distance, is a form of energy. Energy (Work) is fixed, so different distances means different forces.
Here's some more nerd for you. Rene Descartes, the 17th century philosopher, scientist, and mathematician (he invented Cartesian coordinates as a means of translating algebra into geometry and vice versa), did some of his early scientific work in hydraulics, and that led him to become one of the first scientific "atomic" theorists. But back then, atomic theory, or rather, the theory that matter was made of tiny particles, was called "microcorpuscularianism."
As someone seriously considering building a homemade quad-bicycle, these videos are really helping me understand car engines, braking systems, transmission, etc., even if technology has changed.
@@SlippySnack it's only a concern when servicing brake drums, which are infrequent since they are typically only sold on lightweight economy cars that don't put much stress on them. still, it's why you need to take great precaution by dousing down the inside of the drum with brake cleaner fluid before you fiddle around taking it off.

Love how these vintage videos simplify mechanical topics into easily understood explanations and demonstrations.
Drum brakes as the primary car brakes though... well that's getting a bit too vintage, haha.
"With the reliability of an old time actor" love it
If you want to really understand something nothing beats these old videos
Those older materials are much more better than present. Thank you for adding! ;)
I love these videos. Informative, clear and into the point.
When 0-60 in 20 seconds was acceptable.
Revolutionary back then
Still is to me!
My 2015 car needs 16.9s. It's fine most of the time.
Hell, in the early 1920s cars would top out at 60 mph
Not everyone's goal in life is to get from 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Slower accelerating cars still get the job done, and usually last longer because the RPM's are kept down and prevent larger wear on parts.
these videos that explains "complicated" topics in such simplicity shows why in the past they used to make great engineering projects with many breakthroughs.
These films take me right back to elementary school :) love it :)
The way he speaks and his voice remind me of "fallout"
hahaha yeah
OH!!! THAT'S how drum brakes work! Wow, these videos are freaking amazing!
I love this kind video, old but no obsolete informacion ,it still the base idea for many brakes system nowdays! I just love them.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on CZcams in a longggg time
"The modern motor car!" Hilarious. We actually used to talk that way!
„ fit / good for the 21st century” -- there are still plenty ads that insist on pointing out how So Very Superior the current times are
Time has changed, nowadays we used "futuristic".
I'd love to have any one of those cars for a project.
anyone notice how simple and effective old training/learning videos are.
See an old chevrolet ad - immediately added to playlist
this must have been rocket science back in the 1936, just imagine the people who had the foresight, skill, knowledge & ability to execute.
It's interesting or even emotional to think that while almost certainly all the people involved in the making of this are dead by now, their work has been preserved and passed down
:,(
Ideal approach for day to day life and likely obsessed with these techniques Dak
These videos are more simple than education nowadays.
👍 2019 anyone? I still keep coming back to these kind of education videos.
6:50 even 1936 had people pulling out in front of you.
Ohh, Jesus, I just realized I learned more now then in my brakes class...lol
is it just me or does these super old videos teach me more than school does?
Perhaps you are a visual learner?
In college we are studying Steam turbines, and teacher only had pictures and then she explained stuff.
I feel like a single youtube video where route of the steam was animated, explained it better than teacher.
Our family was friends with the Grove family John Grove was an innovator of modern hydraulics very smart man we owe him for most of what we have today
3:11 I think I just nerded out. The press multiplies Force, not Power. Lol. It's a Force multiplier because of conservation of Energy. Power is Energy distributed over a Time interval. Same energy, same time interval = same power. Work = Force * Distance, is a form of energy. Energy (Work) is fixed, so different distances means different forces.
Here's some more nerd for you. Rene Descartes, the 17th century philosopher, scientist, and mathematician (he invented Cartesian coordinates as a means of translating algebra into geometry and vice versa), did some of his early scientific work in hydraulics, and that led him to become one of the first scientific "atomic" theorists. But back then, atomic theory, or rather, the theory that matter was made of tiny particles, was called "microcorpuscularianism."
Two years after this film was made, the hydraulically driven trash compacting garbage truck was invented by Garwood Industries of Detroit.
In 13 years time, this video will officially be 100 years old. Holy shit.
A profound lesson, not only about hydraulics, but rather about how to present technical things simply and truthfully.
Let's just scratch off some nice asbestos
Wittenoom, Australia (Edit: I mean the Blue Asbestos Mine at that location) was working then.
cancer!!
+Austin Lucas ?
@Paul Collinsworth cheese? Not sure tho I'm no scientist
That's what I was thinking. I wonder how many other people watching the video know that pads like that were made from asbestos all those years ago.
Howard Hughes developed hydraulic for Aircraft first to use.
these videos are actually better then almost all other videos i have ever seen
sure indeed
I can watch these video all day long
These older videos are explained incredibly well. Only losers would rate this video down.
Loved the hydraulic cannon, we can combine the leverage video and the hydraulic videos and create a weapon of mass destruction!
Yeah, any idea what that was?
As someone seriously considering building a homemade quad-bicycle, these videos are really helping me understand car engines, braking systems, transmission, etc., even if technology has changed.
Fascinating stuff, love that audio static.
Down in dixie 😀
2:39 can someone tell me what gun that is?
I believe this is it
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14-inch_gun_M1907
Better explanation than today's
I come here in 2020 to learn things i always wanted to understand but never bothered gathering information about. These videos are a treat!
back when we made brakes asbestos we could
drumgod19991 my 2015 Kia still has asbestos brake pads

Asbestos brake linings are still legal in the USA, but most brake linings are now asbestos free.
@@SlippySnack it's only a concern when servicing brake drums, which are infrequent since they are typically only sold on lightweight economy cars that don't put much stress on them. still, it's why you need to take great precaution by dousing down the inside of the drum with brake cleaner fluid before you fiddle around taking it off.
@@SlippySnack It's also why air quality in cities are dangerous because of all the brake dust in the air from all the cars on the road.
Fact. Liquids can be compressed. Practically, no. Yet, yes.
Yes; but usually before that happens, whatever it's in tends to blow apart.
Let's not talk about electron degenerate matter in white dwarfs.
These 20th century videos are far more clear and explanatory than recent videos
The simplicity of this explanation gives me confidence that they can teach me anything of without any difficulty.
