The interesting engineering behind your Car Window!

Are you amazed at how easily you can raise and lower your car windows by just pressing a button? The mechanism inside your car window is so compact and smart that the window always moves straight and smooth. Also, you might have noticed that you’re not able to move the window even if you try to push it down or pull it up manually. Let’s understand the tricky mechanism that controls your car window.

The worm and gear mech is such absolute genius, especially because it's so simple! I always wondered why the glass stays so solid when pushing down by hand. Amazing.

[@ydl6832]

But if you push it really hard, it is still possible to move the window 😂. I've tried before.

[@vizender]

@@ydl6832 yes it can be pushed. Actually, the gear can move the worm. It’s just that the firctional losses are huge. So huge in fact, that for some vehicles, the gear could break before rotating the worm. So don’t do that, you could break your window.

[@Milesco]

@@vizender Yeah, the glass window or the cable assembly would likely break before the gear does.

[@vizender]

@@Milesco also that. I was more in the solid version of that, but the cable is also a point of failure

Yeah it's amazing to see the work and thinking that went into what is now, sadly, a mostly redundant technology. I would like to see a similar video demonstrating how electric windows operate. If you have ever had a failure of this mechanism, you will know it's an expensive repair. I am referring to the regulator mechanism.

[@edinfific2576]

Simple, illustrative, effective, short, to-the-point, high-quality videos that add no excess and waste no time to explain the concepts. That's what's really great about this channel, and that's why it gets so many views so quickly. Thank you for being a teaching gift to the world.

[@awleao]

I’ve got to tell you how incredible was the explanation and the way that the elements were introduced Congrats for the storytelling, and the visuals

[@patrickrobichaux]

I changed a window motor and it was directly coupled to to the wire harness. Pretty sure the anti-theft feature is all contained inside the motor box in some designs.

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

Yes, that's how it looks like in most modern cars. Electric motor has enough "resistance" itself but it is possible to lower the window given enough force (unlike for warm-gear example from video)

[@JaredOwen]

Fantastic video!

The cable and pulley type window lifters in my previous E39 BMW were probably one of the biggest design failures in automotive history. Over than 12 years of ownership I have changed all 4 lifters 8 times in total.

[@MetoFulcurm]

Honestly! As if sliding the window up and down needed to be so efficient because like the pistons go up and down, a car needs it's window to go up and down constantly to reduce drag and increase fuel economy.

[@addictedtopussy69]

thats so weird because my e39 never had it changed even once.

[@Mr.Meme01]

E36 used the scissor design, had to change both passenger and driver side doors 2 times each within 4 years.

[@lemmykilmister545]

It's called a regulator, not a lifter...

[@Turd_Runner]

Early 2000's audis are the same , chaged out my old s4 avant a hand full of times the worst part is once you get the birds nest of cables untagged and put back in you never really know if the sliders are aligned right till everything is back together🤮

[@GururajBN]

Superbly instructive video. I have always wondered how the window glass mechanism works, but never bothered to find out. The unnamed design engineers deserve a big round of applause!

[@mugshotmarley]

I remember the first time changing a window regulator (motor). They sure did put in a lot of time into designing and engineering it.

[@pwnmeisterage]

The driver-side window is more complicated (and far more expensive) to replace than any other window. Because of all the extra controls, electrical equipment, etc. So a request to all thieves out there - if you're going to break into a car to steal a few bucks worth of parking change then please show some small consideration to the vehicle owner by breaking in through a passenger-side window.

@@pwnmeisterage ikr , that s why l always lower the windows before parking. But l still lock the doors because l m not an idiot

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

@@pwnmeisterage really? It would be a shitty design. I replaced electric window mechanism in one car and it was really simple. The controls are independent from it, all it takes is to unplug a few cables. Why would it be more complicated? Am I missing something?

[@TechsScience]

You really explained it simply loved this video

[@bansheedearg]

It's so fun to see your prowess at animation improve. It just keeps getting better and better. Also great educational video, I now understand my car's windows!

[@NicholasWHaley7]

Amazing. I have a 2001 ford ranger with manual windows. No issues whatsoever. My wife’s 2015 Audi A3. Had to replace her pulley regulator already. Cords got rusted and frayed, crunched up and snapped. I love how some older technology lasts longer due to simplicity.

[@automation7295]

But even older technology can fail, but they're less likely too. Electric windows are still useful and more convenient as some people can't rotate the crank as fast as other people.

[@lobsterbark]

It's not because it's older or because it's simpler, it's because priorities are different now. People who buy new cars don't choose what will last longer, they choose based on mostly appearance.

[@SuperPickle15]

Nah that's just german engineering for you

Another amazing lecture ! Even colleges which we pay thousands of dollars don't able to do this kinda lecture/presentations.

[@jonass1285]

I kind of dislike the rope-pulley-mechanism since the rope decided one day to leave the pulley. I had to drive 200km with an open driver side window, luckily it was summer and no rain. Cool video, I learned so much from it!

[@chesucat]

This video just enlightened me on why my 2019 Nissan Frontier's manual crank windows crank up and down at a slower pace than my previous older vehicles with hand crank windows.

[@rayoflight62]

The motor circuit has current sensors able to detect stalling, and therefore stop it when the windows get either to the top or to the bottom. Some car brands use a simple thermal resistor for the purpose, which show its limit in winter weather, when the motor never seem to be stopping when stalled.

[@m5s10]

Daily dose of learning. Thank you!

[@DelgenitoEsmildo]

This chanel is something else. Keep on guys. While others are destroying the world bombing, you deliver the solution for the world, knowledge.

[@raivaru3270]

As a kid, turning the old window mechanism makes me feel like I'm operating a cannon or a tank.

[@plonkster]

Rope and pulley system is used on many BMWs. The plastic sliders break, necessitating replacement of the whole window regulator. You can swap the motor over, that saves some costs. There is a trick to use zip ties to prevent the steel cable from ripping out of the sliders. I instead just sold the car and bought another Toyota :-)

[@SuperPickle15]

That's german engineering for you.

[@Glamour_in_Gold]

Now I can imagine the working principle of car window while using it. Great stuff 👍

[@Sir_Gee]

I swear our conversations are being listened to, this is what I needed and it's crazy I find it in my YT recommendations.

[@rileystewart9165]

I can always count on Lesics to give me some interesting engineering content. A simple subject in a concise video. Thanks for what you do.

[@bohan9957]

I'm amazed at how she can lower/raise the driver's side window by pressing the passenger power window buttons.

[@ultimasdragon7840]

There's also a lot of variations of both of these designs, the scissor version for example actually has a single slider version that's much more centered. Also the cable pulley version is prone to much higher wear and tear as the cable eventually stretches to the point the winder can no longer wind it properly and the whole system fails and needs replacement.

[@Serenity5460]

I really didn’t know this. Very clever design. Thank you for educating the society you live in. 1 Million People see it and tell it their 2 Friends. Your impact is not to underestimate.

[@sharkdavid]

Wow I was so sad when this video ended. It was great 👍🏾! Reminded me of when I had to program an automatic positioning system for the scissor+torque-spring design in my machine dynamics class. These visuals would’ve been helpful!

[@Tewthpaste]

*im just amaze that the window doesn't crack when you try to lower the window in the winter when its all frozen and it tuck so hard trying to pull the window down from the ice.*

[@cadethenderson1]

Excellent educational demo presentation. However a key reason for a cable evolution was to avoid hand and head injury if accidentally powered with human body parts conflicting with the glass path.

[@sayedbepary8170]

[@tichu7]

Wow, I finally understand why my parents car they bought in the 70's had a window that didn't rise straight unless you helped guide it with another hand.

If all engineering education was like this, we wouldnt need 4 years just to get a degree. Looking at diagrams and equations just aint it. Thanks for this nice video. I also always wonder if there is an easier animated way to teach mathematics because most people struggle with processing exactly what it is

[@limxz1986]

When i saw the first animation where the handle only spun half a round to lower the window i was like "yeah right as if it was that easy". I then saw the worm n gear and realised "ohh that's why it took 500 turns to lower the window". Great animation!

[@ZincOxideGinger]

Thank you guys for making it so much easier to understand how these things work and showing the engineering behind it all.

[@Vinline1995]

Maybe we could improve the scissor design by adding a ball bearing wheel to where slider and support arm meets. But engineers probably thought of that many years ago, there must be a reason why we don't have it today

I used to install these in Honda Civics. They just use a straight vertical track now. Three screws to attach it to the door and two more to hold the glass.

Guess where the key receiver for the remote control lock/unlock is on Honda's. In the power window switch assembly.
