TORQUE CONVERTERS | How they Work

Torque converters use a simple idea to solve a complicated problem. This Science Garage goes over how a torque converter keeps your car from stalling, and how it can actually increase the torque coming from your engine.

We also look at the unique system in the Koenigsegg Regera- that uses a transmissionless direct drive torque converter variation to get over 250 MPH!

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

"Vlad the Impeller." Well done.

[gremlincc]

Bart don’t worry you definitely have more than two fans...

[lokken]

Fun fact: The electric motors in the Regera are powerful enough to be in its own supercar.

[MechaHeretic]

Bring Back Science Garage! We need more "Two-Fan" Bart on the screen.

Take a shot of whiskey every time he says "torque converter"

[guezsitoe]

This guy is legendary, why is he not comming back? I miss this

Did anybody else catch the laugh from courage the cowardly dog at 5:36

[TimmyJoePCTech]

[robrodriguez]

Bart and Zach make me feel like I can rebuild an engine. I can’t even build my credit.

One of the best episodes of this series. Good jokes, good demonstrations, absurd moments and lots of enthusiasm!

[Kado_Tornado]

So amazing for somebody who can afford two fans to take so much time out of his day to explain torque converters to us.

I love these videos so much. I would never understand torque converters without this. Great use of visual aids and entertaining. Thanks guys 🙏🏻

[majikpillzburyrey]

I love this channel! I've learned so much from u guys! Thank u 4 really breaking it down.

[BmxDieseldude]

I already knew how TC's work, but I watched anyways because you guys are great. Very clever (if a little flashy) to use two fans. Cool way to make the principle visible.

[tduffdesign]

Gotta say, the fan demo was very simple, creative and easily explains how these work. I love how you guys make what seems to be really complicated stuff easy to understand. Best channel about automotive stuff on YT hands down. You deserve that 1mil subscribers.
