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.

You could easily animate the entire thing but I get your point
Not an animation!
Not even "Learn Engineering"
@@rambo-cambo3581 he was surely talking about the way it is shown: going from the simplest and slowly adding solutions to problems instead of looking at the thing in its full complexity. You could even do that without illustration if you explane it clearely

Somebody save this video in case we need to rebuild humanity.
LOL.... so true!!!
LOL omg asking the real questions! Never thought about saving it, and with politics nowdays its possible we need to carry these usefull informations to next humanity
Right
humanity has more faults than you can imagine, fix one ten other will surface.

Let's take a moment to appreciate the machinist who built like 10 progressively complicated miniature differentials for this film.
Indeed! I like the way this was presented, gradually expanding on the concept in an easy-to-follow progression.
It made a momentous diff to my understanding of the concept

Wherever they may be... thank you is not enough. 🖖❤
there is a lot of special effects in this video...
not only did he explain the basic physical principles, he even explained how the change went from singular bars towards the cogs, this was a great video!
*"...But once we understand its' principal, it's amazingly simple!"* And this video explains it amazingly and simple! Great job, 1937! 🤯

It is so satisfying and well executed , im glad to not be pass next this gold from a golden past. Wow this production was amazing, awesome
I understand now only.always old is gold.
Exactly, this is even better then videos from these days
These old explanation videos are so much more educational and easier to understand, I’ve learned how transmissions work, how differentials work and how to be a ww2 bomber gunner
Ah yes, only the essentials

I am an engineering major in my third year. Never have I ever had such a thorough explanation of a concept.
Screw modern education
The amount of time to build all those intermediate designs, just to show them for a second or two, is just pure quality.
I totally agree
That's what really impressed me about this video, the small details were impressive
modern education teach you how to learn stuff .. but does not how to think of your own
Honestly, you've learned more easily and better. Don't you?

@@Aelfraed26 Thanks 🇺🇦👍.
The showing of progressively more & more spokes, morphing into sprockets, then gears, really hit the principle on the head of what's happening. This is an excellent verbal and visual explanation.
how can a video older than my grandpa by like 10 years educate me more than a school video from today?
I think the reason this explanation is so good is that it approaches the differential not only from a “ here is mechanically how it works” but a “ here’s the problem that each piece solves” as well.
@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.
Revelation 1:4
These are the people who actually lived in the era that these problems were solved, like the computer engineers of today, their minds lived and breathed these gears and stage a foundation for the modern world where we take them for granted. They were good people and it's a shame they are no longer here today to see the fruits of their efforts in all the cars we still drive.
absolutely, we understand the differential because we understand what it is used for.
i think the biggest part is the continuity of problem solving by engineers... when you see the problem and then solution, the problem is not that big afterwards
The space programs of the 50s-70s was mostly calculated by sliderules, those boys, and some women too were sharp. 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. I feel like a slouch now
i always wonder why the explanation of these old videos is better than the new one...
+fakhrizza arrifi Its the cool props they have to demonstrate. Now a days we just make shit in cad and are out of touch with the physical worlds
+fakhrizza arrifi It's because they explain it with as little jargon as possible. Speaking simply is the best way to communicate.
+Tele Blues Man
Nah, plenty of people still know how to keep it simple.
I won't get many upvotes for saying it, but take a look at the Republican primaries in the US.
Notice how Donald Trump keeps speaking simply and plainly so everyone understands him. That is one of the reasons why he is so popular.
+fakhrizza arrifi
They did not assume that their audience was used to complicated things.
+fakhrizza arrifi Because actual engineers were involved in production instead of career video makers that looked up the topic on wikipedia.
For some reason, these old videos are often the absolute best at explaining these concepts. It's the same with science. If I need to fill in some hole in my understanding of high school physics, there's usually one of these old videos explaining the concept much better than anyone else. Like, what happened to education between then and now?!
Now educational videos try to look entertaining and engaging rather than getting straight to the point
No wonder so many people liked tinkering with cars back then, these films really simplify the principles while also explaining its mechanics and composition profoundly well.
When he added the extra spokes for the first time I felt as if I had just achieved enlightenment.

When you realize even a very old black and white video has better quality than a security camera
back then high quality was easy because instead of pixels the light was caught by a chemical film, so each "pixel" was only molecules thick
@@tommygarson8592 Also companies have to save years worth of security footage, if they stored that in 4k it would take up way too much space to be viable
@@abdisaniini I looked it up, if they would store the fotage in 4k for 6 months (wich is the requirement), then they would need 1,373 Petabytes and that at least 2 times to make sure that they would have a Backup if a hard drive corrupts. You can find 5 tb hard drives for about 100€, you would need 550 of them wich would come to a total of 55,000€ (66,520$) wich wouldn't be much for a bank.

Showed this to the teacher and class back in 2013, we watched it, everybody was pleased af.
No text, picture or explanation came close.
That is the best explanation video of a basic dif I've ever seen.
It's the ONLY one I've seen. But I shan't be needing another.
Stephen Butler Me too. Holy fucking shit, actually.
MLG_420 QUICKSCOPE I just watched it again, after all this time, just for the fun if it.
People like this guy are truly rare. People that can pass on their knowlage with ease. I had one or to professors like this guy (not in engineering but economics), they could make it so simple and engaging, then there was the 'other' type of professor (the like that never left an education Centre), who was no doubt extremely cleaver, but had zero personal skills, just expected everyone to understand what he was talking about from day one. That guy spent the whole lecture with his back to you writing numbers on a board, losing 9/10s of the class.
I think it was Einstein that said somthing similar to "if you can't explain somthing simply, you are yet you master the subject"
This guy has it nailed down (or did).
I just want this guy to tell me how limited slip works now to complete my understanding.
Stephen Butler Im your 666 like
My Auto Tech teacher showed our class this and he said this was the easiest explanation ever about how a differential works. Man was he right.

@@blueskies133 Perhaps is the best video any has seen...
Very cool teacher. Bet you learned alot
i wish my teacher would have done the same, altough some people in my class don't understand english.
I've never seen a video explain a concept that I didn't understand better than this one and it was made 85 years ago. Well done.
Best differential explanation I’ve ever seen…far better than many modern computer animations that attempt to explain a conceptually difficult, but in practice fairly simple idea.
Forget about the differential, this is a masterpiece of education. Such an elegant and simple way of explaining this so that literally anyone on the planet could understand it. If schools were as good at teaching as this video is, the world would be full of geniuses
Nowadays tertiary education is just some researcher forced to teach lessons. So they stand up and read some slides, the students go on and teach themselves. Educational material that are clear and concise like this are seen as spoon feeding.
That's why it is called as school
that’s what happens when education and cinema/arts get public funding. give people money, it’s really that easy!!
@@jessebeegee If it were that simple, we wouldn't be having dozens of the best-funded public schools in the country failing to produce a single student who can pass their math exams. Public funding might be PART of the answer, but it is not the WHOLE of the answer. If it was, the U.S. public education system would not be such an abysmal failure that we'd actually be doing the kids a favor by shutting it down.
Before, even encyclopedias was more comprehensive. I read three editions of Big Soviet Еncyclopedia, and in the edition of 1937, one could read how to make explosives, powder and guns.
Almost a 100 years later, this explanation is still phenomenal. These engineers/scientist were way ahead of their times.

its really not hard to pick up a book and learn something or to experiment on your own. most people are just lazy and want to enjoy others hard work.
We just don't teach like this in class or college anymore. Only way you'll get such a full explanation and reasoning on something like this is to personally know someone who actually understands it and wants to help you or finding a good RUclips video.

Well I'll be damned ... I've always known the function of the differential, but it took a General Motors 16 mm film clip from the 1930's to explain simply and clearly how the dang thing works. Keep in mind, folks, these film "shorts" were viewed in movie theaters before the main movie - there was no T.V. in the 30's.The reason for the motorcycle stunt team at the beginning was to add an element of entertainment to the film.
Not merely to add entertainment, but to grab everyone's attention so they'd watch the rest of the film strip.
I don't see that on Americas Got Talent, amazing how bold men were back in the day. My testosterone rose 10 points just watching that.
this video itself was entertainment!
I let's not forget to support artist and such now a days everyone just want to use as little money as possible. now most art people have at home is copied in the thousands and bought at Walmart, instead of supporting a local artists.
It’s the 30’s, why wouldn’t there be an absurd stunt bit?
this is how you do a proper tutorial video. No loud music, no jump cuts, no flashy distracting animation.
And motorcycles. Lots of motorcycles.
The music is kind of loud in the start of the video but that doesnt matter because it aint some fucking free DIY video music that rapes you ears
Just S P O K E S
Really long intro though
And most of all... it doesn't insult our intelligence by demanding 'click to subscribe' before we've seen if the content is worth beans. I've arrived at the point where if that's how a video opens, I will definitely not subscribe even if I like the presentation.
These old explanations teach better than todays

whoever invented differentials was a genius. so simple
It was probably a series of simple steps when they understood the problem they had, the solution they needed, and what they had to work with.
Think of this riddle: "Question: How do you eat an elephant?
Solution: One bite at a time".
Many seemingly impossibly complicated problems can be solved when you break them down to a series of small, simple problems.
No one actually invented it instantly, it's just a process of developing
The conventional automobile differential was invented in 1827 by a Frenchman, Onésiphore Pecqueur. It was used first on steam-driven vehicles and was a well-known device when internal-combustion engines appeared at the end of the 19th century

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.

I understand the point you are trying to make here, however, you are splitting a very fine hair my friend. Learning and Education are related. For example, can you be considered educated if you haven't learned anything?
Educational videos like this are timeless! You can show a person who ask how a differential gear works in another 100years and it'll still be just as entertaining and educational.
Wow, a video from 1937 was better at explaining this than literally anything else I've seen! Simply fantastic!
Its amazing how these people back in the day where able to make high quality videos like these with animations, transitions, and overlays with little to no computer power. Its also pretty interesting how a video from the late 30's is still relevant today

Forgot what it's like to watch a properly informative video without a hashtag at the end
Chris Hiscocks XD
The hashtag is the Chevrolet logo at the end. Still very informative and pleasant to watch.
I really appreciate that they started explaining it by introducing a really basic version of the differential. Having the absolute simplest concept of things as a ground to stand on for our comprehension really makes everything easier to understand by people of all levels of intellect. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Yeah I agree.
Seeing something in its full and finished version often overwhelms the mind. But if you see it step by step in a basic way, you can then move on from there with relative ease.
This is by far the best video on how a differential works.
yeah, i feel like that's the most effective way to teach/explain something
And they show iteration by iteration how it evolves to close those gaps to the more "complex" system.
Thats what happens when someone who truly understands how something works and is able to not only build it themselves but explain it to others.
I really wish this could applied in general teaching.. i wonder how the programming analogue for this would be. hello world?
Videos like this need to be saved to physical media
This is the best instructional video ever
For a video nearly 100 years old. It's really well made. Informative and interesting. I hope there are more videos from this same guy / series.
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.

This unironically is super damn informative and easy to understand
Notice the classiness here: this was advertising for Chevrolet to be shown in cinemas yet they took more time to thank the group of riders than to harp on about this video being brought to by Chev. They just showed the subtle Chev badge on a wheel cap at the end. The times have changed
That is bloody impressive. Something that hasn't really changed much in decades is extremely simple
No need to reinvent the wheel.
It has changed alot on the cars that can send torque differently to each wheel. Look up torque vectoring differential or watch?v=rQowh2Kr38s.
That still isn't a complete rework of the differential. It's just an upgraded version.
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.
Sapphire EX LED lamps are pretty simple too. The problem: companies that produce them are programming them to stop working at certain time. In fact led lamps, on good quality can last more than 20 years.
The thinkers who come up with these solutions should be commemorated with yearly anniversaries. They deserve that.
Ive seen this video a dozen times and can watch it dozens more. As a mechanically inclined person who does commercial electrical i can really appreciate videos like this. And for thise that dont know electricians, especially us commercial guys, are considered electrical mechanics because we have to build, fabricate, and install mechanical equipment, sometimes complex equipment
Who would've thought that this will be useful (and exceptional) after so many years. Good job to the team that made this, it's simply faultless.
yes, the authors are apparently dead, but their work lives.
Equim i would like your comment but it's currently at 69
edit (2 seconds later) well it just hit 70
so nvm
This video taught me basic physics and semi-complicated engineering better than my class can
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.
I know right, 4 years of music school and they couldn't teach it to me this simple
You were in physics class when the auto shop kids were working jobs taking these things apart.
@@Bacopa68 And you were in the youtube comments 🙄
People don't get more intelligent, we just get to know more things that we use for discovering new ones because intelligent people from the past had make out them.
animation and presentation is still 10 yrs ahead of today's time
Possibly the best video that was ever made in the history of the world
MORE SPOKES!
I know right he said that like a gumby from monty Python! More spokes!
lmaoooooo my favorite part of the video
MaoTseFunkadelic i thought the same xD
#MoreSpokes
Heard that in Cave Johnsons voice. Brilliant xD
Why in class they keep showing unclear 3D animations ? This 1937 video is brillant !
The teachers point of view is that untill it is not complicated enough, it's not worth teaching :P
Unclear 3d animation = less time need to be spent 3d modelling + less time needs to be spend at all + less cost.
Yeah... from one of the largest corporations in America who had an entire art and media division with hundreds of workers.
Best explanation of a differential I have ever seen, and it's from 1937! Amazing
I am not a smart person, but the explanation in this old tape is so well done that I believe I can build one myself if I had the tools. Truly amazing teachers.
I'm sure that you're a very smart person. I have a college education yet I'd be willing to bet there's plenty of things that you're competent in or about that I haven't a clue about. This world beats us up enough on it's own; there's no reason to help it. Hold your head high and proud of who you are!
@@j.w.1695 Hey, thank you for the very kind and wise words! :)
This video along with my childhood love of cars has driven me to study to become a mechanical engineer :). I feel I finally have a path in life hahaha
Hope you’re doing well wherever you are! Bless you.
Wow that 9 minutes flew by
I realised it now that the video is 9 minute long😂. It was hypnotic
Easy...more spokes
when you found out 1937 education video is more useful and meaningful than nowaday university .
What's funny is that this tech, other than limited slip, hasn't really changed much. Differentials still pretty much work the same way.
@@1337penguinman I mean hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
Well, someone needs to create those neo-marxist armchair revolutionaries/activists. That's more important than life skills or some other useful bullshit like that.
And this is WHY older people are smarter than nowadays
Right
A great explanation, bottom-up, instead of classic top-down. Much clearer. Love it.
Well back again, This video never gets old. This is how education should be again. After this the Spinning Levers video.
When life gets hard...... add more spokes.
What a nice thought!! :)
What can be equivalent of more spokes in real-life
Excelent
Spohwkes*.
When life gives you spokes, you make spokenade!
When an old ad is more educational than the education system
This was an ad?
@@smmb4818 No, it's an old educational short.
@@googleuser3163 well it’s also an advertisement by Chevrolet
I can’t stop watching
As difficult as it is to understand a differential without a good illustration, just imagine being the guy who invented it in the early 1800s. I can’t even fathom that level of intelligence, creativity, and ingenuity.
its easy to underestimate the human mind
look at the quality of content. today vs 13 years old content. regardless of time these kind of quality content stays for decades.
