Differential | How does it work?

Let's understand the working of differential gearbox of an automobile in this video. This video is a re-release of an our old differential video with better visuals.

Whoever created the differential is a genius. I didn't think that differentials were this simple and compact.

It's how challenging the engineering of just moving a car is, we see these things all our lives but don't come across how these things work. Truly amazing.

This is the best animation I've ever seen that demonstrates how a differential works.
It allows the viewer to visually sense how the torque is transmitted at the two different speeds.

The differential is probably the most neglected and under appreciated, yet absolutely essential part of a vehicle.

Didn't really plan on learning about differentials today, however this is just beautifully explained and animated!

I'm not a mechanic, but I love that I learned this. I never knew the wheels moved at different speeds during turns

For Christmas 1962 I got a large scale model car. Although I had to assemble the differential I didn't completely understand the mechanics. After all these years it is nice to have such a clear explanation and animated illustration of its operation.

Wow… Fantastic!
My husband is an airplane mechanic and loves watching these kind of videos. When I was a child, my dad was in charge of tractor drivers when part of the Federal route of Brazil Rio/Bahia was building, around 1950’s, and he had a room just for his tools and equipment that he had to work with, so I always enjoyed being around heavy machinery, tractors and its equipments and tools.. loved this video.. thanks a lot, it brought me back good memories of my dad, which I miss a lot!

And i have just learned in less than five minutes what people in the past have taken hours to try to explain. Excellent diagram and graphics 👍🏿

There are endless possibilities when it comes to physics and engineering... the design of the differential is very clever! Hats off to whoever came up with the design! I know that one wasn't a simple idea thrown together overnight

[keyman]

I never even would have thought about the back wheels needing to go through turns, let alone figuring out a solution like this. Holy crap people are smart.

[crowwick]

This was great. My dad tried to verbally explain it once but went over my head. Now it makes perfect sense.

[fkingnobody]

Can we just appreciate those Engineers who introduced this genius idea....
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Whippetiggy]

After trying to get my head around this for years I finally understand thanks to the time you took to create these super clear animations. Thank you

[MSTKilla]

See, this is the kind of clear and well-explained and depicted animation that is needed for these kinds of things. I've heard of WHAT differentials are, and what they're meant to do, but could never visualize them and see them in action to really understand how the motion is working. This was great.

[ratandmonkey]

I've wondered my entire adult life how these things worked and you have now taught me - THANK YOU !!

[paulmylast]

I'm 40 years old and know my auto-mechanics... This video revealed to me that I knew what Differential is for but not how it works. I love the feeling of being smarter now than I was five minutes ago :)

One of the best ways to learn english and engineering 👍🏼

U guys have my respect

How did somebody envision this before it existed? I mean that is an absolutely incredible invention. Some people out there are brilliant.

[sharadpanwar]

Really great video. If you uploaded such type of videos 10 yrs ago I would have been an engineer rather than Admin officer.
