That was from a time when engineers and scientists used to run companies. Now we have the retards from business schools and their financial-only view of everything and everyone.
All the old instructional/educational videos are very well explained and great visuals to go along with them, not high picture quality, but they make it easier to understand
Somebody spent many careful hours designing and machining all the different parts for each iteration of the model. A big tip of the hat to him! I learned about differential gears from The Way Things Work as a kid. This is hands-down the best explanation I've ever seen, and I really enjoyed it. I'm certain that this video clip can help non-mechanically-inclined people understand lots of other mechanisms more easily by showing how to visualize machine components in their most basic forms.
I'd love to have the history of car assembly summed up in this manner. It explains how things work through the history and order of logic which formed them, and I can much more easily understand logic than I can memorize a bunch of facts.
As a mechanical engineer and teacher - This is the best explanation of how a piece of technology works that I've ever had the privilege of watching. Thank you in the name of all those people who want to know and understand. Old School....New school ==>> The right kind of school !! For the person who said they couldn't remember the explanation...I wish I knew how to help you remeber. I think the best thing would be to build the model yourself possibly using the wheels of a toycar some matches paper glue and plastelina. A total of $5 dollar investment and a couple of hours of fun. Get others to do it with you. It can be a great project to do with kids.
That was seriously amazing. Very easy to follow and I feel like the instructor was on perfect pace. Definitely recommending to anyone interested in how gears work.
Great explanation - now I know how it works with my wife and I, when one's slow other got to be fast, and also when both pull together we go straight ahead instead of circles!
Problems then desire to solve then concepts then practices then development of the practices then achivement This show was a good example of every achivement
Great .. great and amazing... in those days such a film was made.. hats off for those makers... very simple and easy to understand.. nice models, editing and nice commentary..
damn so this is how rapid technology evolves. always would love to see a comparison video of back then of car parts compared to now and see how they've evolved and we've been able to improve them to crazy magnitudes.
starts with the basics and proceeds towards the complex part. excellent video for educational purpose, it is so good that we can make ourselves one model to demonstrate the mechanism
I love it when I stumble upon a video that explains something that seems complicated but it turns out to be pretty simple...now, throw in an ARB air locker and explain how that fits into the equation ;)
Thanks for cutting the useless bits... It is a great help for those who don't have access to supre fast internet like me : ( Nice tutorial too... very comprehensive. Keep up the goodies.
ha when i first saw it was black and white and heard the guys voice i thought "oh my god this is going to be rubbish" but then i saw it, and hey, it is a really good and really simple explanation. Thanks!
Karts don't have a rear differential and so to overcome the problem of wheel sliding, when going round corners, they have a flexible chassis that twists and raises the rear-inside wheel off the ground when steering.
I learned how a differential worked when i got a Lego technic set. the car had working yellow pistons and a drive shaft. the differential had 3 small gears in similar arrangement and i remember being amazed how i could turn one wheel and hold the other and the engine still moved. the toy was a Lego Turbo command 8428
This video is amazing. Every time I forget (and it really happens!) how does differential work, I watch this and every time I wait until he gets to the point. I guess I must have a very little imagination to figure it out by myself :/
@ahmadclk if u meant race cars, the answer is yes, but its called racing differential , its 99% the same, but you can lock it while driving (two wheels will go together) but at fast speed it will be dangerous, its useful to lock it when they start the race or when acceleration in straight line, cuz u will have more grip with two wheels to the surface, so more acceleration. if u lock it be so careful cuz its so easy to lose the control of the car. im not going to tell u how to lock it :)
Fiat automobil released 2 years ago a car in Brazilian market witch has an option to block the differential automatic. Pushing just one button at the panelthe system is activate. This solution was adopted to provide to commons 4X2 front traction cars a cheap improvement behavior on off roads terrains. However this solutions is just efficient when the car is atol with one wheel in the air.
@ahmadclk while its off ,move one wheel, if the opposite wheel is rotating in the OPPOSITE direction so the answer is yes it has a differential, otherwise no. or to be more sure, turn the car on then hold ONE of the rotating wheels u should be able to stop ONE of them while the other should continue rotating .. but if u stopped one and the opposite one stops, so it has NO differential.
Feel like a caveman discovering fire.
This is why I prefer older videos - They convey a concept with working examples, and don't patronize the viewer.
+Dan Coulson Cougars, same reason.
Me too

@@milliamp Nice one
first time i've fully understood a differential, very well explained video

I love the way they speak. Like you're wife can't hear you in the other room when you're trying to explain something lol

I wish they would animate everything into educational videos like this.
This is by far the best thing on youtube.
Beautiful. I can guarantee that any kid would be fascinated by this or any similar concept if it was explained in such a brilliant way.
"IT IS CALLED.... THE DIFFERENTIAL!" only his voice could make that sound so important.
So interesting and so well presented. I wish there were more incredibly-easy-to-follow instructional videos like this in the world!
I'd love to have the history of car assembly summed up in this manner. It explains how things work through the history and order of logic which formed them, and I can much more easily understand logic than I can memorize a bunch of facts.
I'd like to see such videos too. If you have seen any please share :)
I love how this old video without CGI, is much better at explaining how a differential works compared to the first 5 videos I've found on youtube.
old is gold. very easy to understand the working of a differential drive.
Yes yes yes
All of these years later, and this is the best explanation I've ever seen.
Hard to believe it was filmed about 90 years ago, isn't it?
Great video. If you can explain one thing with very simple terms, then you really know that thing very well.
orçun çiftci: Yup. The Feynman Method, as it's called.

Use this to explain simple mechanisms to my Robotics Classes.
Great video, clear and concise.
Bob Bento 👍👍👍 loved this stuff in school
Great explanation - now I know how it works with my wife and I, when one's slow other got to be fast, and also when both pull together we go straight ahead instead of circles!
Amazing. I've struggled with the concept of the differential for years and this made it impossible not to be able to understand
It's so sad that manufactures no longer care to educate people like this. This video is genuinely good and teaches so much in so little time.
Problems then desire to solve then concepts then practices then development of the practices then achivement
This show was a good example of every achivement
The simplicity and building on that was what worked for me. Thanks
Teachers of the world...please adopt this man's simplistic and interesting teaching style and depart from your current wretched ways.
The way this video progresses is genius! Such a great teaching tool.
I love videos that explain things to me like this. Slow steady and mind blowing.
It is highly relevant the introduction of the lever concept to the gear concept.
Whoever created this video deserves a cookie. A very large cookie.
Great .. great and amazing... in those days such a film was made.. hats off for those makers... very simple and easy to understand.. nice models, editing and nice commentary..
I'm a major motorhead, but I've always wondered how the differential worked. This video is amazing!!!
I want to know how a cam shaft works
Mind Blown at the simplicity!
I always amaze myself on how complicated thing are really a junction of a lot of simple things, this video is awesome thank you
I always love seeing these old school videos, thanks so much! I've always wondered how engineers came up with the differential gear.
damn so this is how rapid technology evolves. always would love to see a comparison video of back then of car parts compared to now and see how they've evolved and we've been able to improve them to crazy magnitudes.
no other differential explanation or video explained it this well in this short amount of time..
starts with the basics and proceeds towards the complex part. excellent video for educational purpose, it is so good that we can make ourselves one model to demonstrate the mechanism
I giggled like a little girl the whole time, repeating "this is so cool" to myself
Excellent gradual development of a hard to explain concept. I actually kinda like the first "useless" 4 minutes, too!
I Stumbled here and I am glad I stayed. I feel smarter for having watched this and it only took 5:27 out of my internet meandering.
If they could make videos as perfect as this for every subject there would be a lot of smart kids out there
Such simplicity... without cgi.. Awsum
I honestly had no idea how a differential worked. Now I do. Simple but perfect
Probably the best explaination of something complex I ever had.
This video is so much better in explaining than those animations showing the 4 gears connected to each other!! thx.
I love it when I stumble upon a video that explains something that seems complicated but it turns out to be pretty simple...now, throw in an ARB air locker and explain how that fits into the equation ;)
Fantastic! My four-year-old asked me how gears work, and this was perfect.
This is the best explanation on the web... Gotta love the 50's!
Great video - very well explained - Thanks for posting it
This is a simple explanation to a complex mechanism ... great stuff !
Differentials for dummies. Makes perfect sense and is a really cool video. I would like to see more like this.
Very simple yet effective way to explain the concept. Great video!
If my professors had this type of announcer voice, I'd be so hooked on to every single word.
I understood this very easily.. This is great teaching we need to go back to this style.
Not good enough? More spokes!
i saw this on the national archive online a few years ago. VERY educational.
100 times better than new videos.perfect explanation of concept
Just brilliant and simple, as so many old instructional films are.
Thanks for cutting the useless bits... It is a great help for those who don't have access to supre fast internet like me : (
Nice tutorial too... very comprehensive.
Keep up the goodies.
part 2? this was really good, but just got cut off lol
now i understand why i keep doing 1 wheeler peelers on turns LOL...best video explaining this ever
ha when i first saw it was black and white and heard the guys voice i thought "oh my god this is going to be rubbish" but then i saw it, and hey, it is a really good and really simple explanation. Thanks!
This is good! A vintage tutorial but very good in explaining the concepts.
this is the best tutorial I have watched in youtube.
Karts don't have a rear differential and so to overcome the problem of wheel sliding, when going round corners, they have a flexible chassis that twists and raises the rear-inside wheel off the ground when steering.
This is amazing. I've learned from this than i have in school within the past week.
Nice. Now we need the same elementary explanation of Posi-traction vs. Limited Slip!
WOW!!!! I thought that just rotating the wheel at the same rate would work just fine. I guess there's more to a car than just the motor.
I learned how a differential worked when i got a Lego technic set. the car had working yellow pistons and a drive shaft. the differential had 3 small gears in similar arrangement and i remember being amazed how i could turn one wheel and hold the other and the engine still moved. the toy was a Lego Turbo command 8428
OMG this was amazing!
Those guys way back when are now geniuses in my book...
Great video!
This has to be the simplest and most concise explanation of how a differential works. We will add more spokes!
Back when we taught young people to take the time to actually think about things instead of focusing on timed tests.
This video is amazing. Every time I forget (and it really happens!) how does differential work, I watch this and every time I wait until he gets to the point. I guess I must have a very little imagination to figure it out by myself :/
beautiful explanation sir,
i really had a hard time understanding differentials
but you made it seem very easy
thank you a lot sir
thanks a lot
That was very easy to understand and also interesting. Gonna have to watch the other videos now!
A very clear explanation of a very interesting piece of machinery
In love with Mechanical Engineering ;-)
@ahmadclk if u meant race cars, the answer is yes, but its called racing differential , its 99% the same, but you can lock it while driving (two wheels will go together) but at fast speed it will be dangerous, its useful to lock it when they start the race or when acceleration in straight line, cuz u will have more grip with two wheels to the surface, so more acceleration. if u lock it be so careful cuz its so easy to lose the control of the car. im not going to tell u how to lock it :)
omg legit i never ever woulda known shit about differentials till i saw this... awesomely helpful thanks!

or to be more sure, turn the car on then hold ONE of the rotating wheels u should be able to stop ONE of them while the other should continue rotating .. but if u stopped one and the opposite one stops, so it has NO differential.
Wow - I had no idea engineering could be so interesting (if explained simply and well).
Thank you for posting - learnt something new today :-)
Thank you so much! I'm in a basic automotive class and was so confused. Now I understand. Thank you. :)
@themanu sick track!!! the samples really add some nice ambience
This is superbly demonstrated. Today, I learned.
Excellent demonstration! Thanks for sharing.
I love this explanation it's great and crystal clear. Very good video
so goddamn simple it's genius. I wouldn't even think of this in a million years
I've literally have never had anything explained to me so well.
This is alot better then most CG for ease of understanding
Perfect explanation - they don't make those like this anymore!
More Spokes!
Fantastic video.Better understanding!!
Took something that's rather complex and made it so simple. Funny how modern videos that attempt to describe how a diff works can't do it
thanks for showing us this principle...thank you so much...
I agree with E.L.T.R. - now I can go to sleep. Thanks for posting this video.
The props they are using are awesome!
Holy crap, that was actually explained really really well.
I never thought of that. That the weels don't spin at the same time when you turn , and you can turn because the differentials
this is a billion times better than discovery channel
T-up. Good vid, very educational. I love the 50's style narration, wish they had it when I was a kid. Also wish they had auto shop. v.v
That video really cleared a lot up for me about this. Thank you.
