Here Neil gives a basic explanation of how a car speedo works for you to enjoy. Here you can checkout our full range of gauges and gauge pods now that you know how they work! www.carbuilder...
Beautiful! I was trying to figure out why my speedo was running up to 25 MPH when I tried to start my truck but the engine wouldn't turn over. After diving into starters and speedos, I wondered if maybe the strong EM field from the locked-rotor starter was tricking the speed sensor. This physical demonstration really helps me imagine exactly what's happening. Thanks!
Assuming the difference in size isn't offset by narrower tires, yes. If it's a different overall diameter, the speedo needs to be adjusted or it will be inaccurate.
Yes, the bigger the tyre the faster your Speedo will read compared to the actual speed your travelling. You can set tyre sizes in some computers, some vehicles will throw codes for abs, traction control etc if you don't as the wheel speed sensor will be going a different speed then it is supposed to.
Very very impressive demonstration.. I was confused until I watched this video.. thank you😊
Nice demonstration
very nice demonstration really, thanks

Fuck...
I love British, Irish and Scottish people.
You demonstrated THAT a speedometer works, not HOW…
He literally said in the first 3 seconds of the video that he is gunna demonstrate it 😂
@@Kieran-fj4bq Agreed, but the video title says "how"
nice
Doesn't this mean that different size wheels produce different speedo readings for the same speed?
