Скачать или смотреть The Secret Component That Won WWII — Germany Couldn't Copy It

Hitler’s engineers were obsessed with perfection. American engineers were obsessed with winning.
In this documentary, we reveal the untold story of the "War of Friction." While the Luftwaffe and the RAF battled in the skies, a silent war was being fought inside the wheels of every tank and truck. Germany bet their empire on the "Ball Bearing" a perfect, elegant sphere. The Americans bet on a crude, ugly cone invented by a German immigrant named Henry Timken.
We breakdown the physics of why the superior Tiger Tanks kept breaking down on the way to battle, and how "ugly" American engineering created a logistical juggernaut that crushed the Third Reich.
Topics Covered:
The Schweinfurt Bombing Raids (The suicide mission).
Ball Bearings vs. Tapered Roller Bearings (The Physics).
Why the Panther Tank's final drive always failed.
The Red Ball Express and the victory of logistics.
