do you have a good starting source?
- ironmagma 5y agoI would maybe start with the individual components. How a differential works: https://youtu.be/yYAw79386WI https://youtu.be/yYAw79386WI There are a number of videos of transparent engines: https://youtu.be/nvMcFQqhbpM https://youtu.be/nvMcFQqhbpM But if that doesn’t work, searching YouTube for “how an engine works” should give lots of content. Once you’ve figured out how the engine turns the flywheel, you can investigate how the flywheel applies different speeds to the wheels via a transmission. Manual transmissions are simpler, so I would start there: https://youtu.be/wCu9W9xNwtI https://youtu.be/wCu9W9xNwtI then figure out how the clutch fits in. After that, you can move on to torque converters (coolest component imo, basically a fluid coupling) and automatic transmissions, which can be a mind-bender. Feel free to reach out to me at pc.peterso at Mail of g dot common TLD, happy to share what I learned and save you some time. Lastly, there is a wealth of tidbits on Engineering Explained and howacarworks.com, although the latter goes into far more detail than you probably need.
- ignorantguy 5y agothank you so much. I just watched how differential steering worked and it was so cool.
