Around The Corner (1937) How Differential Steering Works

[naresh7653]

great i like it, it's very useful

[NoHadithForMe]

Man this is so clear, good times the 40's!

[CryptoN8]

HHHwheel!

[CAESARbonds]

This is the best explanation I have watched. It is much better than modern Videos.

When they added the spokes I got it.

It is so simple and yet it works so good in millions of cars.

My Professors failed to do that

[desertfox2020]

Funny, that bit about not having the drive shaft above the floor... because thats extremely common now.

[DantragRostov]

I thought indian films were full of dancing, yet i doubt they'd come that close to dance in a 'how differential works' short movie

[trelimastoura]

the aitomobile of today... i rofled!!

nice vid tho'.

[edrisamin]

8:55 ultimate ghost riding

[Maxisokol]

Spokes... more spokes! :D

[pspking597]

I don't know why but every time he added more spokes I started laughing.

[blueburaq]

everybody click on the video, press two, and watch the rest. the beginning isnt important

[TopRamenKing]

Wow I should have taken automotive in high school =-[ lear something new every day =-]

[WhatUGawkinAt]

If this stuff was taught when I was in school....

[dalzaSoft]

wow, that was really good explanation

[eee11112]

Oooooh, it really does an excellent job of explaining it.

[larry365]

For video, add '&wadsworth=1' to the end of the url

[larry365]

For video, add '&wadsworth=1' to the end of the url

[IAMKMC]

1:04 serious planking

[dinothus]

All this talk of sharfts.....

[Zachism]

At 8:53 I realized that ghost riding the whip has been around for decades.

[stripes5150]

wow...what a nifty video...those car guys are some knacky :)

[eee11112]

@stripes5150 I agree.

[originalescorpion8]

genial pero las motos como que no

[jarus187]

Oh golly gee wizz

[SHNUCAU]

General Motors sucks.

[Galley415]

just look at the quality of the work back then, now all this shit is made in china and japan and has nowhere near as good of workman shit as shown here.

[Dryzaum]

A shaft in the middle of the floor of an automobile would be VERY cool. Exotic. I would buy.

[mattmench]

wooo 240p!

[HOLYHECKITSPAUL]

@mattmench cause they had HD cameras back then

[HOLYHECKITSPAUL]

@HOLYHECKITSPAUL edit: I know its film, shush. its a joke

[kamratframjandet]

Hwheels.

[D4runa]

8:54 GHOSTRIDE THE WHIP

[CasusUniversum]

What WILL they think of next!

[HepheistoBD]

5:30 more spokes... 6:10 moooAR spokes... thou can not have enough spokes

[sizetwo]

Earliest use of of mouse pointer Ive seen.

[RemakerWR]

@sizetwo 7:33 I saw a mouse from 1930's too. XD

[rubnayr]

I Bet you're wishing you never made this comment ;-)

[jambojamboify]

people are so smart

[xiKUDx]

Genius

[gab2012able]

I came here curious to see "Great (old) video of explaining a complicated concept in a simple way. Speakers should apply this in their speeches, and teachers too"(Jeremiah Owyang on Google+) He is right!

[kommentaur]

Disregard wadsworth constant. The first part is actually interesting to watch.

[MrZardoz777]

THAT'S ANOTHER EDITION OF 'MECHANICS EXPLAINED' WITH KANG & KOTOS. BOW BEFORE US PUNY EARTHLINGS, MMMMMMMMMMMHAHAHAHAHA!

[intercontinent2]

I come for this video from Google+ :)

[pplez123]

9:00 , human power, popular in the south.

[seeeeeeeeeeker]

pshh we lean this marching

[Waffenzug]

A Jam Handy Picture

[barder194]

my life is complete now

[archmmmo]

they were ghost riding before it was cool

[synaptican]

i've got a differential fever and the only prescription is more spokes!

[heathmoor]

I hate to be a party pooper but do you realize that all the people who collaborated in this documentary have probably already died?

[tiagopokerface]

the more you know...

[betterinsodapop]

HUZZAH!

[lyonlamb]

17 persons... don't like differential steering?

[lurker782]

WH HEELS. COOL WH HIP.

[Paultheamazingscuba]

MORE SPOKES!

[mcyates]

excellent!

[edbenmar]

RHEAAR wheel.. I love how he says rHear.

[SilentAttackTV]

Another crossbar and more spokes!

[TheMLBM100]

Allow me to demonstrate the difference of speeds between the inside and outside wheels. Percy, Henrietta, run on those wheels, post haste!

[jtaps72]

We were so close to making it through, but following traditions of the era they had to end the perfectly executed educational video with 30 seconds of blatant sexism. -_-

[lukejtmulder]

@jtaps72 I think it was fairly subtle and it is a fact that men can run faster than women.

[ericscottschmidt]

@jtaps72 What sexism are you even talking about?

[MrWeaselmaster99]

This is really Differential Power Distribution, not Steering. But, Cool Video regardless!

[dailyblessings]

Are there any more similar videos that explain complex mechanical/engine operation in such a clear and concise manner? If anyone knows of any please share your links! Thanks

[PandaVampires]

This is highly amusing. Thanks, Reddit!

[getsecure]

Amazing! I didn't even know the problem existed, and kudos for explaining the problem so well. Side note: Other than the pompous tone, the guy sounded a lot like Hank Hill.

[joeandlilelmo]

i was shown this on my mechanic course at college. so amusing.

[GLeonGarcia]

how a 4 drive works then?

[danimal519]

wadsworth constant.



[TheModestLight]

@danimal519 Thank you. You just saved me a bunch of time

[mayhamtyler]

Chevy built ford tough

[DigitalVG]

It's a shame that modern edutainment doesn't contain this level of edu.

[iPhap]

Look how upbeat and optimistic everything about this commercial is. Only 2 years before 1939 and several decades before the major flaws of a promising economic model starts to show at the seams.

[vitali1985]

i almost came...

[PircCba]

50 years before educational psychology exists

[jobaca1000]

Wow that was pretty awesome . I like the way the video went from the simplest explanation to a refined smooth version.

[deviant2k]

Holy shit. That is all.

[Robstailey]

it's all so clear now!

[ILikeMUUD]

1:06 Extreme planking

[jvkstudios]

Wow, this really explained it easy

[g4yktzgjx6]

No one plank as well as that guy at 1:08

[ryansosodef]

8:54 GHOST RIDE THE WHIP!!!

[biochemicallynodiff]

Best explanation, Ever!

[CalebS92]

1:04 the first documentation of planking while driving

[WhitePawn]

FFFF-- It's a Chevy!

[technosasquatchfilms]

wadsworth constant applies, show starts at 2:00

[maisteri]

@technosasquatchfilms Wadsworth constant would be at 2:51 mark. So, clearly it does not apply.

[TheLukeSchiltz]

@technosasquatchfilms It's the Wadsworth CONSTANT. Ergo, it ALWAYS applies. No need to bring it up.

[JuryDutySummons]

@TheLukeSchiltz It's called a constant, but it's not constant.

[MrJulian86]

@technosasquatchfilms wadsworth constant does not apply here! 30% of 9:31 mins is 2:51, which means you lose about a minute of valuable and relevant information!

[MrJulian86]

@technosasquatchfilms add "&wadsworth=1" at the end of the URL and the video will start at 30%!

[snikebein]

Hwheel



[modl]

MORE SPOKES

[Zerokuthedark]

@modl Bitches love spokes

[Wolf3nStein]

Love it! and no health and safety crap! :)

[darkgrenchler]

IT ALL MAKES SENSE

[MW2xxnoobxx]

ghost riding yeaaaaaa

[brownfield]

Youtube Karma!

[triplethreatdm]

Back when men were so ballsy, his balls had balls.

[ilam3d]

Back in the times when advertising talked about the quality of goods. Not how some celebrity uses them.

[clockworkjames]

8:55 Time to ghost ride this whip

[mout12]

So this is the reason why whenever I'm stopped on ice, the only wheel that has power is the one that is on the ice...

[rbybliv17]

@mout12 That's where limited slip differentials come in.

[egroj5822]

@mout12 And diff locks in 4x4s

[TheBrnby]

Ghost Ride, Ghost ride the whip!

[tombombadil0101]

wadsworth constant applies.

[Shiznaft1]

Excellent video, thanks for uploading it!

[ayinozendy]

They've been using the mouse cursor already!???

[Howells13]

SPOKES!

[kmofoshomyho]

the way that guy says spokes...

[Kompieter]

Wadsworth's constant even applies to 1937 footage.

[gthreek]

WE REQUIRE MORE SPOKES

[asapwnz]

10 fags walk

[Uncle69Jemima]

see this is proper education and its dated, why cant modern high schools these days even compare to this constant of learning?

[iMagrock]

Old school cheerleading, men only. Looks good

[IdleGod]

The worlds first documented case of "Ghost Riding"...

[max3mus]

Planking all started at 1:08

[inevitable0truth]

MOAR SPOKES

[AngryJoint]

Holy shit I took pleasure in learning something. what trickery is this!!

[Chazam3663]

Wadsworth Constant applies

[CanadianImperialist]

@Chazam3663 please shut the fuck up with that shit you fucking digg nerds

[toraktorak]

@CanadianImperialist

calm down man all he said was wadsworth constant applies.

[truckdrivah]

Wow, how sexist @ 9:00. The woman on the inside wheel has to barely walk, but the man on the outside wheel has to run at top speed to not fall off. Men work thrice as hard for same result.

A perfect metaphor for our society.

[myloveispuke]

BUT!.......BUT!.........BUT!

[MarkusMaki]

Inside wheel turn slower, outside wheel turns faster. You can't explain that.

[OshiSeven]

I love the fact they didn't feel the need to explain everything like the viewer was an idiot, instead they assumed a certain amount of intelligence. I know this was simple, but they showed a lot of things before talking about it, letting your brain figure it out first.

[leif786]

HWEEELS

[LinkEX]

are there more awesomely simply explained educational films from 1937? :D

watching these old-fashioned videos with that typical commentator voice is fun.

[ASCAB]

hwheel

[xpawsxthelegend]

chevy runs deep!

[rickyracing100]

I wish they explained Math as well as this in school!

[thenfm]

cure hipster faggotry: MANHOOD101. COM

[Phail3d]

Wadsworth constant doesn't apply :(

[svelemoe]

SPOKES EVERYWHERE!

Why not just use gears in the demonstration?

[adisharr]

@svelemoe For people unfamiliar with gearing, the principles are easier to see if you use this approach.

[nofunnick]

PFM!

[dorkrock13]

Its gets real at 8:55

[MrNotoriousNinja]

@dorkrock13 some jason bourne shit that

[JonnyGib]

i've got a clumsy shaft.

[TheSnufking]

TIL

[guymedia2012]

"In order to reduce the jerky action, caused by wide spaces between the spokes, we will put in - more spokes!"

Genius. I love the thought processes of this technology development.

[soren650]

I finally get it!

[ogholf]

This is the one and only thing i will learn on the internet all day!

[deaddyz]

I was running on the outside wheel.

[BlueMonkeyGuy]

Nostalgia as fuck.

[rasterbation]

Who' driving the car at 9:00 min?

[WHlTEDEVlL]

the original nitro circus

[mrandyface]

"hmmm, how can we show that the outer wheel is spinning faster? I know, lets have two people running on barrels attached to each wheel, then we can see that the outside one has to run faster."

Best idea ever!

[Mochila03]

No "Do not try this at home" disclaimer!? Somebody get me a motorcycle and some friends...

[Petrahydrox]

I call photoshop!

[snakevids]

well if i cant carry luggage in a car that has a fucking spinning shaft in it that can kill..then..forget it!

[M1xBlender]

I hate to say it, but those scientists forgot to account for another 'clumsy shaft' above the floor.

[WonderfulLlama]

I'm throwing my money at the 1930's section of Wikipedia but nothing's happening!!!!

[CommanderHulio]

THAT WAS AMAZING! THESE GUYS WERE REALLY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME

[uncommonvolta]

@CommanderHulio JUST LIKE THE INVENTOR OF THE CAPSLOCK!!!1! -___-

[ZWCoolkid]

@CommanderHulio Honestly, the chinese invented this about 2500 or so years ago.  This concept has been around forever.

[vincentpol]

TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!

[mrnoiken]

ok i get this now! next explain a manual gearbox to me!

[dash1141]

Holy shit. This has inspired me to take up engineering. Why can't every god-damn thing be this well explained and executed?

[fr0nage]

@dash1141

So true

[Serutos]

thanks finally understand this shit

[Metros23]

ME TOO man, MINE 8======D~~~~~~~~Blown!

[MeemeeeXX]

This is some magic device from the future!!

[The1apprentice]

MOAR SPOKES

[bensinboii]

[StopFlaggingVideos]

well, shit. that was fascinating

[PurpleMoonYef]

that guy running on the outside wheel had it rough.

[g33kzy]

Reddit! Good vid

GENIUS idea!

[hyperaktive86]

8:55 ghost ride the whip

[KrAcKhEaD217]

of course they gave the woman the inside wheel
