I love this video like most people here, but it must be recognised that that demo apparatus was probably quite expensive to design and build such that it makes everything so clear.
It might be one of those things where if it's done right, you don't see any of the effort.
Edit: I assumed the video was this [0] one about how a differential steering works (containing an awesome demo)
Now I've flicked through the video it seems really expensive and I assume that big budgets just want to get higher viewing figures and so lean on the flair.

- jaclaz 4y agoIn the (good ol') times, to get a driving license (here in Italy) you had to have a basic understanding of how cars worked, including the engine, the gearbox, clutch, etc. and driving schools would have had a "fake" car with all the mechanisms visible (and working) so that the teacher could explain in practice how everything worked. They were "pieces of art", examples: https://www.museomotori.unipa.it/img/main/180.jpg https://www.museomotori.unipa.it/img/main/180.jpg https://www.dannatavintage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/0001_autotelaio-scuola-guida_anni-70_036602440_11513.jpg https://www.dannatavintage.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/00...

- jaclaz 4y agoYep, but only a very few (old) driving schools have these models (that would be anyway largely obsolete), and those that still have them keep them only for decorative/historical reasons. Now what is (usually) taught is not "how a transmission works" but rather "how to answer the questions on how transmission works" (which is different).
