These days, the whole thing would be done with CGI and shakycam footage of dirt bikes and street racers set to Xtreme Sport Music.

Thank you, 1950s!

How true. It was nice to see that explanation geared (ha) to an audience of thinking beings instead of 10-second-attention-span illiterates.

ENGINEERING!

(there needs to be an 'I learned something' tag)

Cute, but this is the most redundant tag on PoE.

Every time I read or watch anything, anywhere on PoE, I learn something. Most often, they are things I never wished to learn.

-1 for the long, irrelevant and useless intro to wich i exclaim WTF!

Also, I learned all that as a kid with Technic Lego blocks.

how many girls do you know that played with Lego Technics ?

5 stars for an informative video with firm narration and utilitarian illustration.

Big Beef Burritos Supreme
Same here. Wasn't Lego awesome?

When I first started watching the intro I thought, "If you do synchronized motorcycling on a Harley do you still look gay?" then I saw them riding by standing on the seats and thought, "INDIAN LARRY!!" Then I felt a little sad because he died in 2004 doing that particular trick. At lest I now have some idea how a differential works and what it does. Video favorited.

I'll never be a good mechanic but damn is it interesting. That would have taken me 100 lifetimes to devise.

"Generations ago, my family invented the differential gear. I guess I've always had some pretty big shoes to fill. But to be honest, I've never been half the engineer old Rudy Ackermann was. Then it hit me: I would add another gear.

They all told me I was crazy, that there were already enough gears, that it was an affront to God and nature. I wouldn't have it; I was tired of living in the shadow of a corpse. The "Improved Differential" hit the market May 15th 2039.

On May 15th, 2039, 5 billion people died.

Everyone I ever loved, everyone I ever hated. They're all gone now. It's just me and my gears. These fucking gears. Their single eyes both accusing and mocking me, never blinking, never sleeping. But I will be their master some day. A gear got us into this, and a gear will get us out."
