Absolutely fascinating!! This is the first time I've seen an explanation of a fluid coupling and torque converter that I fully understand! Also, that there was a hydraulic power distribution company in London! I knew of the one in Manchester, when I discovered that I was amazed at the concept! Imagine as a company, being able to plug into a power source of that nature, like we connect to electricity now?! It must have a nightmare to maintain and damned expensive I expect!
At 19:28, that’s essentially how the fluid coupling worked on Chrysler’s Fluid-Drive transmission which debuted in 1939. Basically was a 3 speed manual with a fluid coupling, definitely made driving a lot easier since you didn’t have to finesse the clutch pedal.
The hydraulic crane, one of Lord Armstong's inventions helped to change the world, he understood the power of hydraulics better than anyone, he got the idea while fishing and watching a waterwheel power a mill and thinking much of the kinetic forces is being lost, Mr Newcastle he became known as, had the first house with electric lights powered by hydraulics, lifts and other devices all powered by water, Cragside, Rothbury Northumberland, now a museum and worth a visit by anyone interested in the industrial revolution and the men who shaped the modern world. . .
I thought I knew a torque converter, but realise what I thought it was, was actually just a fluid coupling. My first knowledge that it has an extra piece inside which can magnify the torque. I've just learnt something, thank you Shell.

In this video which is broadcast in 1960, the voice-over puts a question at the end of the video : where will hydraulics lead us? After 64 years now, It is widely used, aside from vehicle and industrial usage, you can find hydraulic devices everywhere you even be sitting on one. Office chairs and dishwashers household objects that often use hydraulics. more sophisticated machinery includes airplanes, construction equipment and elevators
Let's see if they mention Pressure compensated variable displacement modern pumps used in modern machines. They were not invented yet. This flim is from 1950s -60s.
I was wondering the same thing. I sold hydraulics for Paul-Munroe Hydraulics, based in Whittier, CA back in the late '70s. Pressure comp pumps were used a lot to allow a smaller HP motor to get the job done. Another approach was a "high / low" pump, these were vane pumps as I recall (but it's been quite a while). Great video, brought back lots of memories.
Shell has uploaded some amazing videos all from the past. Wish they would find and upload more. Thanks to the person in Shell doing this.

Thanks for the uploads, I genuinely love these historic videos😊
Please upload about oil wells! Specially into the sea!
These historical archives are precious.
They are especially precious for revealing the U.K. in its sociological and demographic strength. Modern diversity kills countries.
These older videos are wonderful! Thank you, Shell, for uploading!
THANK YOU SHELL! I appreciate you releasing all these films into the public record.
Nostagic video from the past. Fluid coupling and torque converter best explained.historical archive : Hydraulic transmission of power. Thank you Shell
Nice one shell, these videos are very lovely.
these just warm my little engineering heart
A magnificent film.
I remember tha catchy 1970’s TV adds for shell.
And what’s more, a unique record showing a dentist that at work!! 👏👏👏

The best explanation tutorial ❤❤❤thank 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great presentation!

A British Dentist?
Isnt that impossible according to lore?
The hydraulic crane, one of Lord Armstong's inventions helped to change the world, he understood the power of hydraulics better than anyone, he got the idea while fishing and watching a waterwheel power a mill and thinking much of the kinetic forces is being lost, Mr Newcastle he became known as, had the first house with electric lights powered by hydraulics, lifts and other devices all powered by water, Cragside, Rothbury Northumberland, now a museum and worth a visit by anyone interested in the industrial revolution and the men who shaped the modern world. . .
The didactical ability of the past seems sometime higher than the contemporary one. A movie about sealing elements history would also usefull.
Pure engineering at its best!
very interesting and well expained
I thought I knew a torque converter, but realise what I thought it was, was actually just a fluid coupling. My first knowledge that it has an extra piece inside which can magnify the torque. I've just learnt something, thank you Shell.
Fluid mechanics is one of most complex but very precious and beautiful subject ❤only few master it and is very respected by scientific community ❤😊
SHELL is amazing after all.
Amazing video, that poor car at the beginning!
1936 Chevrolet Master Deluxe
@@beryllium1932believe that model of Chevrolet was for the UK and EU market.
Such a Greta video!!
shout out my professor for this video!
It's a sin the vast majority of these industries have gone.

What will the once Great Britain do with an economy that just shuffles deck chairs about on the Titanic? Wealth cannot be created that way and that means capital cannot be created. Services only move inherited wealth about and every time that wealth changes hands, losses are inevitable. Eventually, a service / gig economy will only have debt and phantom capital.
It's a greater sin that the bonafide native peoples of the U.K. keep their blinders on and refuse to see what has happened, by whom, and why.
Now you recognise why the word " Great " Was put in front of Britain .
No need
They used tapes back then ,incredible 😮
Hero of Hydraulic power is oil seal, that no one talks about.

Not many civil engineers on RUclips !

Who did voice over for all these documentaries?
In this video which is broadcast in 1960, the voice-over puts a question at the end of the video : where will hydraulics lead us?

Super
This is an incredible way for Shell to give back to the people from whom it has taken so much.
If that dentist chair caused you anxiety and stress, you may be entitled to compensation
Just curious. What drives the hydraulic pump? Diesel engine or electric motor?
Fluid dynamics, please forget RUclips !
Any dynamic rotor with grooves that act as a pump can do the torque.
The pressure control valve in that huge press shut off when it touched an egg.
Great video
15:15 that's how they do it until computers replace humans,wow
We developed all this technology, and then just threw it away.
I hope I’m wrong. But it doesn’t look like we came much further than when this video was filmed
7:36 The origins of Hydraulic Press Channel
Usually it's the Frenchman Pascale who gets the credit, this is the first instance of a mention of Bramah.
who cares about that ????
France ?? Only old people need heroes of this level !
@@lucasrem The British band The Who sang. "I hope I die before I get old", well one got his wish and the other two are enjoying old age.
The first who discover the hydraulics is Archimides and the Greeks 2000 years before
A lot of energy is used to pump the fluid.
Another YT channel with old films like this is Periscope Films.
I like
How does OIL SPILL work?
Fluid dynamics, hydrodynamic seal.
You skipped skool, need RUclips now ?

What about the orientation videos for high execs that explains about working with the CIA to overthrow governments or keep them in line
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

They were not invented yet.
This flim is from 1950s -60s.
17mins, no pressure comp but variable displacement.
1963 according to the thumbnail.
I was wondering the same thing. I sold hydraulics for Paul-Munroe Hydraulics, based in Whittier, CA back in the late '70s. Pressure comp pumps were used a lot to allow a smaller HP motor to get the job done.

@@freedompreacher6023 I think Rexroth or Sperry had first one.
Indo's state owned oil company, pertamina, cannot do this!
I still don't understand it

What a load
Lee Jessica Johnson Jeffrey Thomas Maria
Hang on... my kids' teacher told them that black Africans invented all this stuff centuries ago so where were they in the film?
Rodriguez Amy Rodriguez Richard Rodriguez Frank
What is the difference between a JCB and a Giraffe ?
One has hydraulics and the other has high bollocks...
How shell works..now that would be a lesson...and not a good one...lol..ya Goofy m8te from Australia
