    It's amazing the level of engineering that most people who drive will never see. The emphasis is always focused on the engine, but its gears that ultimately make the car move. The precision needed for these things is beautiful
  • @CIBERXGAMES
    Just... insane that people could figure this out....
  • @bryanc1975
    This guy is definitely not a fan of the word "the" But its a clear, concise video, and very well done.
  • @DMRMRT_TR
    the people who invented these things, are great people i admire those engineers.

    Im always shocked how these kind of friction pads can actually be used in real life applications. I would always guess that any friction material would burn out or wear out within days. Impressive materials and engineering

    I really don't understand any of you complaining about his English. I got the point. It was concise, it was properly explained and, overall, good. Y'all should be thankful that there is such an explanation on the internet
  • I have no automotive experience whatsoever but the animations make it pretty easy to understand. Limited slip means just that: slippage between plates is just enough to allow rotational velocity difference between the side gears. Thanks!

    THANKS FOR SPEAKING SLOWLY!!!! If anyone is watching this video it is because they do not understand this topic. Most YouTube videos FLY THROUGH the info presuming everyone already knows what they are talking about. The slow pace is so helpful as it gives us time to have the information set in
  • The visual assembly inside my mind is now completed after this video! Learned later - yes, but it is far better, than never.

    There is a word. That word is "the". It is an article. An article precedes nouns, verbs and adjectives to help THE listener/reader understand which, how many of, or how much of whatever the subject of THE sentence to which THE writer is referring. Thank you for posting these helpful and informative videos.

    In school, we're learning about drugs and my teacher asked me if I knew what LSD was. I sent her this video

    I love using LSD out in the woods. It helps get me through rough patches, when I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

    A great mind is needed to combine a few simple mechanisms into one brilliant construction. I love how one rules of physics are used to counter the others to make a functional, safe system.

    I get it now! It's all in the beveled gears! When the satellite gears get resistance from turning on one side it pushes against that side gear and that pushing effect locks the housing to that side of the axle.

    Not the LSD I was searching for but this is just as cool
  • @joeyysee6632
    I just got a 9th gen Si and it’s my first time having LSD ! And it feels great to not be spinning a lot like the problem I had on my old 6th gen that didn’t have LSD
