There are some pretty amazing inventions that have shaped our daily lives. One such invention is the automatic transmission. We've all got them in our cars, but just how do they work? I found myself asking this the other day so I went on a hunt to find some videos.

This first video describes the theory from an introductory level and shows some great animations.

This next video dissects a real transmission. A real engineer demonstrates how it works with great detail.

Chopping an onion is not a difficult task in the kitchen, if you know the right way to do it. Watch this video where the master, Gordon Ramsay, shows us how it's done.

Practice this method and you will be chopping onions well in no time, without the crying.
