Another one of those super helpful engineering videos from the 1930's.

Where can I find more of them?

1953 = 1930's... nailed it. Still cool.

Whops. The trucks they use look like they’re from the 40's or so.

Which means I’d still be wrong.

I should go to bed.

You’ve heard music from the 50's. That’s some 30's shit right there, music wise.

It's wrong. No mention of magic.

Hence why I mentioned 50's when pointing out the 30's music, bro.

Wait. The Mercedes mechanic demands magic? Is that a double negative?

*head explodes*

Military/government typically default to classics. Wasn’t trying to insult you, I misunderstood your point.

To be fair, the military keeps it classic, it’s very 30's-40's.

I missed your point as well. Pleasure meeting you.

I love these videos. They make it so easy to understand.

I give this flamewar 0/10. ‘Tips hat’? Seriously? It’s like you guys aren’t even trying!

FYI, a fluid coupling is not the same as a torque converter.

Is this really a torque converter or a fluid coupling? One has a fixed stator, but I forgotted

Weird, I always thought it was more like this graphic

Resiprocation Ding Alarm. I need one of those.

Thanks for this. Now I just need to understand how shifting in automatics works without physically changing gears, and an automatic transmission is no longer a complete mystery box of magic.

It’s a fluid coupling. I thought they were the same thing but apparently not. ¯\_()_/¯

A fixed stator is how it can multiply torque. Hence the STR of custom converters
