📼Video Summary:
The Enigma Machine was used during WWII by the German Army to get keep messages encrypted. It looks almost like a typewriter. There are 26 keys and 26 letters that can light up. These lights tell you how the keys will be scrambled up. The machine works like an electrical circuit. The rotors towards the back of the machine do most of the scrambling by mixing up the wiring. The plugboard in the front also another layer of encryption. Keyboard mechanism connects or disconnects the circuit to turn on a lightbulb. The path of the wire is difficult to follow so I recommend following it through in 3D! Each time a key is released - the rotors in the back will turn. This is done by the mechanism which includes the actuator bar, ratchet, pawl, and the index wheels.

You've cleared up 30 years of confusion in 20 minutes. Just, wow.

I've read several books about the enigma machine, watched a documentary, and even looked at schematics of one, and never had everything fall in place like it has after watching this video. Thanks so much for this amazingly detailed breakdown of such an iconic piece of history!

One has only to admire the ingenuity of the German engineers who designed and built the Enigma machine. I knew it was complex, but not "that" complex. Also, you must be thanked and praised by your animation and explanation. Very detailed, clear and beautiful. I wonder how many person-hours you spent in designing the animation. Very nice work. I'll definitely show this to my Computer Engineering students.

What an amazingly well-done explanation of something that is rather complex. I now understand why it was such a hard code to crack. Keep up the great work!!

Back in college, my best friend asked me to assist her on her final project for her cryptography class. While half her class did papers or presentations on crypto-currency, She, myself and another class mate got together and built an eigma machine from scratch. It didn't look anything like the real thing. We used cardboard rotors with fastener pin contacts and a few scattered lego pieces. You had to manually rotate each rotor for every input, the whole thing was a mess of wires and looked like trash. But it worked. We got the cryptography right. The mess of parts that looked more like a middle school art project than an electro-mechanical computer successfully scrambled messages and decoded them. In the end we got an A- on the project because it was only 90% finished, but we proved to the professor we understood the process and mechanics and this was his favorite project of all of them. In hindsight, I wish we had gotten a group photo with the thing.

Great 3d modeling, you explained it perfectly. Enigma is a marvel of engineering. Also respect for Alan Turing.

내 10년 동안 온갖 영상 보면서도 이니그마 작동 원리를 제대로 이해 못 했는데, 이 영상 보고 마침내 제대로 이해했습니다. 정말 감사합니다.

Don't know what I'm more impressed with- the Enigma machine, the people who cracked it, or this guy who made this animation...

There should be a sequel to this video. During WWII, breaking the Enigma code was important for the Allied victory. Computer scientist Allen Turing built one of the first computers for the sole purpose of breaking the code. It is called the Bombe Machine, and I am curious to know how it worked.

I've NEVER commented on a YouTube video before. But this was absolutely fantastic. I've read many online descriptions of how the Enigma worked, but for visual people, this was perfect. Really amazing. Thank you very much for creating this!

So, we have 3 geniuses here :
- The man who built Enigma
- The man who cracked Enigma
And this man with such an incredible explanation and animation. Bravo !

I was a radio operator in the Army for a short spell. We'd use code books with different call signs for message encrypting and the codes changed every day. Never failed though... some private would forget the codes (or lost the book) and screw up all the messages. That's when we busted out the Radio Shack walkie talkies and talk in plain English. Real top-secret stuff there!

The sheer genius of the minds that came up with this is just incomprehensible to me, as is the utter brilliance of the people that managed to design a machine to crack it.

This is an amazing visualizing video about encryption and decryption problem, and it also shows it doesn't matter how many steps of encryption you have, it's never gonna be completely undecryptable.
The fact that we need at least two participants for communication who has to configure their common encryption method is always gives the chance to third party participants during the configuration to access the key for each code.

In the late 60's early 70's we in the Army were still using basically the same machine to encode messages. Thanks a good presentation.

Imagine what the inventor(s) of the Enigma would've said if they'd known that someday you'd post such an incredible 3D-rendered video that describes in minute detail the inner workings of the machine. Just an incredible video. Fascinating to watch. Love your vids. One of the very best channels on youtube today!

I can only imagine how long it would have taken to animate this! Let alone all the research. Great work, very well explained

INCREDIBLE video. I was Very Very Confused before watching this. NOW, my confusion is more organized.
The wizards at Bletchely Park, England were only partly successful in cracking this. They needed a captured
"Enigma" to fully solve the code. Japan also had a machine of their own called The Purple Machine.

Used a machine similar to this when I was in the military. It takes an exacting acquired knack to operate. Results are quite impressive even today.

Jared, the only thing more incredible than Enigma was the amazing description of every part that you did. This was by far the most clear explanation I ever saw, thank you very much for doing it.
