Amazing, Informative, Direct!

It's nice to learn about how things work without some character explaining it to me. No Gary the Gear screaming "HEY KIDS WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT TRANSMISSIONS?! I SURE DO!"

Man those edit cuts to make those planks appear on the cog were really well done!

Also very informative and clear Makes a lot of sense.

OR just drive electric cars and not worry about this mess.

I was a little surprised to see them use a woman as the driver in 1936. Perhaps I'm underestimating my grandparents' generation.

They wanted to add excitement. (In the DVD extras for this clip, you get to see she was headed for a cliff, with a flaming gasoline truck chasing her.)

Amen.

So sick of those padded informational videos where the creator forgot that entertainment is the medium of education, and not the other way around.
