  • How the automobile differential allows a vehicle to turn a corner while keeping the wheels from skidding.
    Differential steering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differe...
    Differential steering is the means of steering a land vehicle by applying more or less drive torque to one side of the vehicle than the other. Differential steering is the primary means of steering tracked vehicles, such as tanks and bulldozers, is also used in certain wheeled vehicles commonly known as skid-steer, and even implemented in some automobiles, where it is called torque vectoring, to augment steering by changing wheel direction relative to the vehicle. Differential steering is distinct from torque steer, which is usually considered a negative side effect of drive-train design choices.

      @Revelation 13:4 6:04 - 6:36 "..in order to reduce the jerky action caused by wide spaces between the spokes we will have to add more spokes. Further filling in the spaces between the spokes gives steadier, continuous action, and changing the shape gives firm, continuous contact. Now we can make the gears thicker and stronger."
      It is correct however that they do not appear to address the "increased durability" statement. My _guess_ would be that a reduction to impact and increased contact between parts would mean that they would last longer (a lighter tap vs heavy thud) but I don't know enough about the mechanics of it to say for sure.

They were engineering students of life,physics, mechanical, chemical, metallurgical. No computers folks, in their minds,grappling with some heavy unknowns and they pulled it off. was a pleasure to be exposed to the last of them coming out of h.s.entering the workforce. Problem solving at an artform, the best education I could have gotten. Not so many specialists, some of them were amazingly versatile and wouldn't be stumped, not for long anyway. There stuff worked.

    This video absolutely blows every other video explaining differential steering totally out of the water in terms of explaining it. Even the most current 3D modeling programs that you see used by modern creators trying to explain this concept don't come anywhere close to being as affective as this simple demonstration. I mean, I watched like three other videos on how differentials work, and they were all beautifully modeled in a computer program and looked great, but none of them really made it click with me like this video did. The beauty is in the simplicity, I guess. Either way, this video was able to really let me wrap my mind around how this all works, and it's pretty awesome that it was made so long ago.

    if school taught like this, the world would be 100 years ahead of its time, we really need to bring back the simple beauty of visual learning in this way. and we should also bring back this gentleman's calming easy to understand voice, i have learned more in 30 minutes of videos like these than i have in 10 years of school. it is truly saddening to see that the best form of education was lost around 70 years ago.

    • @Adrian-qr6gk

      it's the style of learning and what people thought mattered back then and today. In my engineering courses the focus is always on the derivations of things, the grand concepts, but rarely are we simply taught how something works in practice. Worse we get basic info, variables, eqs and have to teach ourselves the complicated stuff. I wish we taught things more simply, less theoretical and more practical since that's what's needed today, there are phds and other people who can work on improving concepts and theories, but we need a hands on workforce who can the job, then we can focus on the inner details. teach the simple stuff first basically, not last.

      We tend to believe man was less creative in the past.
      But the way of thinking of a man from the pyramid building time and a man nowadays, is exactly the same.
      Same creativity, same inteligence.
      The only thing that improved was the previous knowledge.
      The problem when teaching things, is jumping basic concepts.
      The more the teacher jumps, the more difficult to truly understand, no matter if it happened 4.000 years ago or nowadays. That is why we always had and will have good, and not good teachers.
      The guys that wanted to teach how a transmission and a differential work in this video was a good teacher, with excellent didactic.

      My Master (as in, the guy who trained me in my field. Not sure if that term is actually used in english?) used to say: Good, reliable technology is always simple. The more moving or electric parts (including sensors and all that) the more likely that something is gonna screw up.
      For a bit of context (and a little anecdote to prove him right): Our company was responsible for the street lights in my town, and we were in the process of excanging good old Vapor lamps with some more newfangled high-tech lamps (some streets even got LEDs).
      The Vapor lamps had a coil that acted as a limiter (similar to a resistor), and that's it.
      The newer lamps had some complicated electronics, including a ~30€ circuit board. (The Coil for those vapor lamps would cost 4€ I was told...)
      In the year that I did that particular job, I had to exchange countless amounts of those circuit boards. They broke left right and center, and you could always SMELL it as soon as you opened the case they were kept in... (I hate that smell.) Also keep in mind the company had just begun installing these maybe half a year before I joined them.
      The Vapor lamps? Maybe five coils the entire year. And we had 10 times more of them than the new ones at that point.
