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.
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 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!
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 ;)
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
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 :/
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!
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.
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
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.
@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.
@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 :)
Feel like a caveman discovering fire.
first time i've fully understood a differential, very well explained video
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

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.
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 :)
"IT IS CALLED.... THE DIFFERENTIAL!" only his voice could make that sound so important.
old is gold. very easy to understand the working of a differential drive.
Yes yes yes
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.
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?

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.
Teachers of the world...please adopt this man's simplistic and interesting teaching style and depart from your current wretched ways.
Use this to explain simple mechanisms to my Robotics Classes.
Great video, clear and concise.
Bob Bento 👍👍👍 loved this stuff in school
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.
Amazing. I've struggled with the concept of the differential for years and this made it impossible not to be able to understand
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
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.
no other differential explanation or video explained it this well in this short amount of time..
I honestly had no idea how a differential worked. Now I do. Simple but perfect
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
Whoever created this video deserves a cookie. A very large cookie.
Probably the best explaination of something complex I ever had.
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
now i understand why i keep doing 1 wheeler peelers on turns LOL...best video explaining this ever
The simplicity and building on that was what worked for me. Thanks
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!
Fantastic! My four-year-old asked me how gears work, and this was perfect.
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 ;)
Excellent gradual development of a hard to explain concept. I actually kinda like the first "useless" 4 minutes, too!
This is the best explanation on the web... Gotta love the 50's!
The way this video progresses is genius! Such a great teaching tool.
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..
If my professors had this type of announcer voice, I'd be so hooked on to every single word.
this is the best tutorial I have watched in youtube.
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 love videos that explain things to me like this. Slow steady and mind blowing.
Differentials for dummies. Makes perfect sense and is a really cool video. I would like to see more like this.
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.
I always love seeing these old school videos, thanks so much! I've always wondered how engineers came up with the differential gear.
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
It is highly relevant the introduction of the lever concept to the gear concept.
Such simplicity... without cgi.. Awsum
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 :/
i saw this on the national archive online a few years ago. VERY educational.
This is a simple explanation to a complex mechanism ... great stuff !
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 video is so much better in explaining than those animations showing the 4 gears connected to each other!! thx.
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.
I understood this very easily.. This is great teaching we need to go back to this style.
100 times better than new videos.perfect explanation of concept
omg legit i never ever woulda known shit about differentials till i saw this... awesomely helpful thanks!
Mind Blown at the simplicity!
This is amazing. I've learned from this than i have in school within the past week.
part 2? this was really good, but just got cut off lol
Just brilliant and simple, as so many old instructional films are.
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 has to be the simplest and most concise explanation of how a differential works. We will add more spokes!
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.
Nice. Now we need the same elementary explanation of Posi-traction vs. Limited Slip!
Back when we taught young people to take the time to actually think about things instead of focusing on timed tests.
Perfect explanation - they don't make those like this anymore!
Not good enough? More spokes!
OMG this was amazing!
Those guys way back when are now geniuses in my book...
Great video!
This is alot better then most CG for ease of understanding
Very simple yet effective way to explain the concept. Great video!
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
This is good! A vintage tutorial but very good in explaining the concepts.
Great video - very well explained - Thanks for posting it
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.
Wow - I had no idea engineering could be so interesting (if explained simply and well).
Thank you for posting - learnt something new today :-)
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
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.
Thank you so much! I'm in a basic automotive class and was so confused. Now I understand. Thank you. :)
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
A very clear explanation of a very interesting piece of machinery
I giggled like a little girl the whole time, repeating "this is so cool" to myself
That was very easy to understand and also interesting. Gonna have to watch the other videos now!
Holy crap, that was actually explained really really well.
this is a billion times better than discovery channel
In love with Mechanical Engineering ;-)
Example of brilliant teaching
They really knew how to explain things back in the day.
That was brilliant. Thank you for posting. *now knows how a differential works*
This is superbly demonstrated. Today, I learned.
I love this explanation it's great and crystal clear. Very good video
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
@themanu sick track!!! the samples really add some nice ambience
The props they are using are awesome!
@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.

It's amazing that they solved the problem just with common sense!
i have no idea why i watched this. But now i know ! NOW I KNOW...how a differential gear works..
PRESENT JUST GOT OWNED
Im student in car mechanicals and the school give 5 video too explain how differential works but this one is the best
