I think illustrating how everything fits together with an animated 3D model is extremely underrated. I wish there were more videos explaining all kinds of concepts using this approach. So much information is conveyed so quickly with this spacial representation, though it's probably a lot of work to produce videos like this.

totally, I played the video without sound so I don't even know if there was any verbal explanation but if there was it was unnecessary, the visuals conveyed everything perfectly.

  I watched the video and there wasn’t any sound. Definitely a step by step graphical explanation helps a lot.

I came across the YouTube channel of Jared Owens[1] recently which is basically just that. 1. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbsfyGlrjrKQC0gbzK0-EiA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbsfyGlrjrKQC0gbzK0-EiA

  I was about to reply with this guy. There's no comparison, he's light years ahead. He can make any complex system comprehensible on first pass. Watch his video on bowling pin setters, it's amazing.

You may find this channel interesting, all animations are selfmade by him: https://youtube.com/user/thang010146 https://youtube.com/user/thang010146

While the animated breakdown itself is phenomenal and certainly makes the video, one of the other key aspects is the progressive explanation of _why_ this mechanism is designed the way it is. You can watch the video without sound, and probably without the text as well, and see exactly how the "spikey ball" was designed, how the driver gears were created, how to get two types of movement from the drivers from linear inputs, and how those movements translate to moving the ball joint. It reminds me of the old Chevy videos, such as the one on differentials[1]. It was created in 1937, and through some live demonstrations and clever use of stop motion the film shows how to separate wheel movement, fix gear slippage, attach a drive shaft, then optimize for space. Different visual technology, but same type of presentation. There's similar videos for transmissions, suspensions, etc, all incredibly enlightening.
