      Seems you had a typo there. The Pistons are connected to the Crankshaft. Not the Camshaft. ;)

    The only change to this video is the pistons and their connecting rods are mounted to the CRANKSHAFT not the camshaft. The camshaft is turned by the CRANKSHAFT and the camshaft is used to move the valvetrain which opens the intake and exhaust valves.

    Enjoyed the video. In your example, are the changes in speed really "inversely proportional". For instance, if you slowed one wheel down to 1 RPM from 300, it wouldn't make the other wheel go 90,000 RPM. It seems more like an additive/subtractive relationship, where the lost RPM of one wheel is found on the other.

    Er... I still cant see how both back axles turned independently, watched a few times but you got me. Both axles are in contact with the spider wheels so are effectively locked together, so how can they turn independently?? Certainly a clever peice of engineering.
    Is there an dummies video guide to this video? 🤔😔
    Great graphic by the way. Even though I'm stumped.

      This is what I was wondering, so is that a situation when the difference becomes non-proportional and would fail without a lock?

    • @krzysztofmazurkiewicz5270
      @krzysztofmazurkiewicz5270 Рік тому

      @@antonyloc basically thats why offroad cars have a diff lock. When one wheel loses grip then it spins like crzy taking al the force out from the wheels. Diff lock stops this and forces both wheels to spin with the same speed. But this also causes the issue that when turning they also spin with the same speed. And thats why the diff was invented so they can spin in different speeds.

    So what I am experiencing is probably normal? I just uploaded a video trying to troubleshoot why my wheels aren’t turning at the same speed when the car is off the ground. Also, the issue is when I slightly depressed the break the wheel driver side wheels starts moving until I apply more pressure and then it stops with the other wheel. When I released brake pedal both wheels turn until there’s just a little pressure left and the driver wheel starts to stop again while the other ones continuing at a higher speed and then when I finally released the break, the driver side wheel stops rolling while the passenger wheel seems to continue at a pretty high rates speed .

    Not all rear end have a back cover. A Ford 9 inch has the cover as the center of the rear end. To remove it you pull the axle covers off, pull the axles out and take the center out of the pumpkin.
    Also if you have the trans in park or in gear and you turn one wheel the other one spins in the opposite direction.

      Inferior to what? Pure guess here as I know nothing about this topic: closed differentials? Not trying to be funny, I really have no clue about this stuff...

    • @ChickentNug
      @ChickentNug 2 роки тому +1

      @@hisss I'm not super educated on the topic, but just from living in a snowy area, I think they're called "locked" differentials, and basically it inhibits the wheels from moving at a different speed. I think somehow it disconnects the spider gears so they have to move at the same speed, and it makes it harder to lose control and spin out. it's good for traction, but bad for turning and can even damage the differential/axle if you put too much stress on it.
      If you look at a car stuck in the snow and putting throttle down, you can see one tire spinning and the other not moving with an open differential. With a closed (locked) one, both are forced to move at the same speed so there is both more traction and they wont rotate in different speeds so you aren't as likely to slide on ice from forward motion (I think)
      I could be wrong and you'd need to verify all of this, but this has been my understanding for most of the 18 years I've been alive haha

    • @OutnBacker
      @OutnBacker 2 роки тому +1

      @@hisss Inferior is perhaps too strong a term. Open difs are fine. They are under most vehicles on the road - even 4WD vehicles. What's better is BLD or brake Lock Differential, which senses when one side is losing traction and shifts power to the side that has traction. Better yet are the several types of AWD systems that sense corner to corner as well as side to side and shift power accordingly. My old Grand Cherokee has open difs, but it is equipped with BLD, called Command -Trac, which does make a difference although it is not particulary heavy duty.

    Very poor, almost unacceptable. The pistons in the engine are connected to the CRANKSHAFT, not the camshaft. A typo in the cartoon maybe just a typo, but then for the explanation to also call it a camshaft, it seems as if the person talking does not understand what is going on, which for a channel like this IS totally unacceptable.

    Whoa, big boo-boo here! The pistons do not rotate the camshaft, they rotate the crankshaft. The camshaft does not transfer power to the clutch. You need to get your terminology right if you're going to be explaining how things work.
