You know, Jason from Engineering Explained is a nice and knowledgeable guy. But your style of making these concepts truly visible is at least for me the key to a good understanding.
This video is really the difference between teaching and explaining. A lot of other YT channels merely explains a topic. But through simplified means, examples and practical demonstrations you did more than explain it - you taught it, in a method we all can understand. Thank you for doing this.
To have watched and understood this at 5:30 in the morning before work, I commend you sir! Great explanation and a very intriguing visualization. As a very visual learner this material is priceless
That was a very interesting demonstration and explanation. Concepts were presented clearly and your explanations are paced well. Awesome content, as always!
A big semi truck engine might put out 495 horsepower which is roughly the same as a new C8 Corvette. Yes a C8 Corvette engine COULD be used in a semi truck to haul large, heavy trailers. BUT to do so effectively it would need to be screaming at 6500 rpm all the time to achieve maximum power. The huge diesel engines usually used in semi trucks, can make that same horsepower at ~1600 rpm, meaning it will last much, much longer at full power output than the Corvette engine which has to spin 4x faster to generate the same horsepower. That's why semi truck engines last for millions of miles routinely, where as a Corvette that's driven flat-out in endurance races, might need a new engine after just 5,000 miles.
going back to the torque vs power video, the power at the output shaft of the driven gear is still the same (assuming no frictional losses are present of course). what changes is the force and the speed. for instance at the gear ratio of 5, the output shaft is applying 5x the force at a fifth the speed, so it still means that the small motor is still putting out 0.0013HP. just we have sacrificed RPM in favor of torque. great video as usual! whatever you're doing to make these videos, keep doing it!
Can't tell you how incredibly helpful this video is. I was wondering about this since few months and now I find perfect answer through your video. Thanks for the wisdom.
Well explained demonstration on torque, speed and gear ratios. Two motors of equal horsepower can have completely different sizes, weights, and shaft sizes solely dependent upon speed. This is especially noticeable in electric motors. Keep up the great videos.
I wish this guy was my physics professor back in college days. What a great talent in explaining stuff this guy has. Amazing video yet again my friend, keep up the good work! 👍🏽
It amazes me how people like you put efforts and time to demonstrate something like this in the easiest and interesting way possible to help people like me get it. Thanks man
I recently found this channel, and it has seriously helped me in my moped restoration project. Super concise and clear explanations that don't leave out any important information. Thank you for these videos 😁
As a mechanical engineering student I find this so amazing and cool to watch. The key for teaching something is to first show the problem and then offer the solution. Some teachers often present a shit ton of equations before the problem is presented. And this is a great method of learning things. Of course the deeper you go the more you can start complicating things. Thank you so much for this kind of content!
I am so happy i stumbled upon this channel. Every automotive question i've had so far has been answered in the easiest way possible. There is no better channel out there that explains it as easy and thorough as this one. In my opinion this channel is Underrated AF!
Great! Now I know how to take a 2T diesel large cargo ship engine spinning at 100 rpm and build a desk fan spinning at 10000 rpm. Might need a slightly larger desk... or house...
What a brilliant video. I’ve only just got into Lego technic and wanting to learn gears, pulleys and levers and you have made my first lesson in learning this an enjoyable one. I may have to watch it again though as it did get a little confusing when going into radius lengths. I’ll get there though :)
Dude I was scratching my head regarding the selection of motors for my project. Now with the introduction of gear ratio, I have much more clarity. Thank you!
Question for you if you have the time. What is the difference between adding a third gear into the equation. 2 scenarios assuming torque held consant 1) gear 1: 8 teeth, gear 2: 32 teeth, gear 3: 64 teeth. gear ratio of 4 and gear ratio of 2. Or gear ratio of 8 if going gear 1 -->3. Is it the same as having 2 gears? 2) gear 1: 8 teeth, gear 2: 32 teeth, gear 3: 8 teeth. If starting and ending gears are the same. Does that mean it'd be better to not have any gear at all? or would the radial increase help at all. As an extension. 4 gears all 8 teeth next to one another. Does that do anything? @driving 4 answers your videos are awesome. Never been into engines before, but cant stop watching to learn more.
When you add a third gear between two gears the final output gear ratio stays the same. The only thing that changes is that the first and last gear will now rotate in the same direction instead of in an opposite direction
This is the best mechanic channel I have ever found!!!!!!!! Clear, fun, precise information. I have difficulty comprehending but this makes things so much easier to understand. Screw CIT
The link between gear ratios and lever is the only missing point on every other videos that made me confuse about that subject until now. Thank you for your explanations !
No wonder my cars were crap in Gran Turismo 5 back in the day everytime I bought the custom transmission I'd gear it all messed up 😂😂 At one point I had a corvette and goggled gearing and it gave me something that was not from a corvette 🤣 ahhhh the good ol days
I did this in the original Gran Turismo for PS1 and then went back and read that you were talking about Gran Turismo 5 and it being back in the day. Made me realize how old i am now lol I dont think Google was around when the game was out so it was hard to look up information about cars.
@@DaDaDo661 I had GT3 and GT4 but the one I played mostly on and enjoyed more was GT5, 4 too but ya anyways GT1 on PS1 that's way back! 😂 I remember playing Spyro the purple dragon on PS1, Mario and Donkey Kong too and other stuff, Game Cube, Nintendo Entertainment System with the cartridges you had to blow the dust out and smack it a few times lol. Dream Cast. Tony Hawk on PS2, Miss those days
Well done... good job. You explained it so its understandable that's the key. The smarter a person is the easier he can explain things! The objective is to help others to grasp and get the concept or point. Your a master teacher.
The trick with gears is to understand that at the point of contact the force on each gear is equal and opposite. And the teeth are moving at the same velocity, because they are meshed. Once you grok that the rest is just geometry.
Everytime I watch offroad video, i always wondered why does 4L is slower but stronger to push a car out of the obstacles, every answer is circling around "the stronger the ratio means that speed isn't matter" and I'm so dumb to understand that Thank you for the best explanation I ever had🔥🔥🔥🔥
Something very weird happened with this video... For the first hour it got like 30 views or something. I think the notification system misfired on this one 😅
This is similar to what happens with diesel-electric locomotives, at least in N. America. There is a gear set in the traction motors between the motor itself and the wheel. The GP40-2 has a gear ratio of 62:15 with top speed around 65mph or so, while the F40PH has a max speed of 110mph with a 56:21 ratio. These both have the same engine and components (except for the ability to generate electricity for passenger cars), but have very different top speeds, not to mention pulling power, which the GP40 will win handily
Man, you definitely were not exaggerating with your video title. This really was easy to absorbe. The 'Aha' moment for me is when you talked about leverage. I'm planning a few projects which will use gears and decided to come back to absolute basics. This was very helpful.
5am, sick and brain can barely function, yet I was finally able to understand how gears work and why they're needed, which I could not get through any other video I watched or article, thank you so much
So if we have small engine with not much torque and big, heavy engine, but both with the same amount of horsepower - they should perform similar with proper gear system. Also horsepower is more like Wats, torque is more like Ampers and RPM is like Voltes. And on the end: horsepower is much more accurate measurement if you want compare engine performance.
Except they don't perform similarly, on small engine longevity performance bad, noise performance bad, driveability performance bad, every incline requires dropping down 2 gears, low power except at high rpm. In conclusion, small cc Euro engine is shit.
Brilliant explanation!! I have been riding motorbikes since more than 21 years and always wanted to understand to concept of Gear Ratio... Watching your video once cleared my concept....Thanks much...

Bro completely agree with that
Some people are born with the gift of being able to dispense knowledge, some just know a lot but can't effectively give it out even if they wanted

Really love how you make things understandable

Awesome video!
I finally get it!! Thank you so much for explaining the connection between rpm, torque and speed.
Really needed someone to explain it in this way ❤👌
That was a very interesting demonstration and explanation. Concepts were presented clearly and your explanations are paced well. Awesome content, as always!

That's why semi truck engines last for millions of miles routinely, where as a Corvette that's driven flat-out in endurance races, might need a new engine after just 5,000 miles.
Can you relate that to force and work done?
Bingo

What 30 pages of a textbook take hours to read n comprehend u do it in a mere 8 minutes. Hats off buddy. Excellent. Thank u.
Can't tell you how incredibly helpful this video is. I was wondering about this since few months and now I find perfect answer through your video. Thanks for the wisdom.
Using the overlay of math with the visual demonstration made what is going on very clear - and using Legos was fantastic! 👍👍
A good explanation of a granny gear in a 4WD vehicle.
Thank you for this. I now finally get it that with a given power, how changing the torque via gears change the speed.
wow, I gave up learning these concepts way before college, now with great examples I can grasp the concept with ease.
Massive thanks!!
Well explained demonstration on torque, speed and gear ratios. Two motors of equal horsepower can have completely different sizes, weights, and shaft sizes solely dependent upon speed. This is especially noticeable in electric motors. Keep up the great videos.
The only place in the internet that actually explains this good. Thank you so much, I'm so glad I finally understand this!
“With a long enough hammer, I could break the world!” - sir Wayne Newton
How you re planing to move the long enough hammer
@@Zenvo-uu9tm With a really long lever.
I prefer Archimedes "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world"
@@caliremus It doesn't quite have the flair though.
good idea, now is time for that
I'd be fascinated to see you gear both motors to the same rotational speed so they could work work together to turn one shaft.
I wish this guy was my physics professor back in college days. What a great talent in explaining stuff this guy has. Amazing video yet again my friend, keep up the good work! 👍🏽
At times, how you explain it makes one finally gets it instead of still being stuck asking for more questions.
It amazes me how people like you put efforts and time to demonstrate something like this in the easiest and interesting way possible to help people like me get it. Thanks man
Many thanks for this! I've been unable to understand gear ratios for the last 24 years until today haha!
That little motor’s proud little dance was awesome
Now this episode....made my day😇😇😇
I recently found this channel, and it has seriously helped me in my moped restoration project. Super concise and clear explanations that don't leave out any important information. Thank you for these videos 😁

Explaining car technics, you are doing it right!
Great! Now I know how to take a 2T diesel large cargo ship engine spinning at 100 rpm and build a desk fan spinning at 10000 rpm. Might need a slightly larger desk... or house...

this video helped a lot and i needed to learn what torque was and this was exactly what i needed
Dude I was scratching my head regarding the selection of motors for my project. Now with the introduction of gear ratio, I have much more clarity. Thank you!
Excellent way to explain the subject to practically all audience. No matter the age. Great job. Best regards.
the best explanation love it unable to understand from my classes that how they are related but this made me understand the concept
This is super helpful for my VEX robotics tryouts, mighty thanks!
Thanks for this great inform for a non technical person like me, thanks again
The best explanation I've ever seen of this, with practical examples. Thank you!
Excellent! I never thought of gears as levers before.

bro you are really worth a follow, great great example of that car
make a video on compound gears, man, absolutely love your explainings
First i understood what torque and horsepower is from other videos then i saw your video to understand gears. Man this was amazing 😮.
On the next vid…
Demonstrate work done by the 2 motors by the time it takes to lift a load one foot vertically.
Use centimeters please
This is the best mechanic channel I have ever found!!!!!!!! Clear, fun, precise information. I have difficulty comprehending but this makes things so much easier to understand. Screw CIT
Thanks for the simple and powerful explanation. Anyone would understand the topic clearly
love the easy explanation, very well done. I also visualised Christoph Waltz behind the voiceover so loved it even more :P
Super informative. Legos are so good for explaining mechanical topics. Great video!
I loved Lego Technics as a kid. They are great to learn physics while playing.
This really helped me tuning better on GT 7
Thanks 👍🏾
The link between gear ratios and lever is the only missing point on every other videos that made me confuse about that subject until now. Thank you for your explanations !
beautifully explained! Gears are such amazing devices!
That could become a favourite channel. I've been always fascinated by mechanics just wasn't very good at mathematics :(
Thanks bro for teaching gear concepts 😊

Thanks for this helpful video,
I have a test today it this should help.
Very well explained. Easy for kids to learn
I am making a science project and came across this vidoeo. It is amazing and really easy to understand.
Sir, Great Video. You have explained the concept in simple terms. Keep it up. Thanks
Perfect explanation

Contributed to the best like ratio I've seen in a while. Great explanatory video!
Im 62 and FINALLY get the difference 🤪 Great explanation thank you.
Brilliant. I'm binge watching all of your videos.
Best video on the subject! Very usefull, thank's a lot. 😊
Thanks for making this video!
Very interesting video I enjoyed watching!
Fantastic video! Very well explained 👏
Great video although you could have touched on the difference between hunting, semi-hunting & non-hunting gear ratios.
2:54 Where 5 (or five times) represent the number of rotations the small gear (driver) will do for one rotation of the large gear (driven)...
thanks for simple explanation
Thank you for the wonderful explanation.

Now, how the motor/transmission pairing as it pertains to meeting hp/tq goals is the fun.
So if we have small engine with not much torque and big, heavy engine, but both with the same amount of horsepower - they should perform similar with proper gear system. Also horsepower is more like Wats, torque is more like Ampers and RPM is like Voltes. And on the end: horsepower is much more accurate measurement if you want compare engine performance.
yes, first is motocycle engine, second is car/truck engine
Except they don't perform similarly, on small engine longevity performance bad, noise performance bad, driveability performance bad, every incline requires dropping down 2 gears, low power except at high rpm. In conclusion, small cc Euro engine is shit.
