Even being decades old this shows it better than I've ever seen. Laughing

That's awesome. Watched the whole thing, I especially love the part where they had the dowels simulating a differential and it adds more and more until you have a regular differential.

The driveshaft through the floor thing was mildly hilarious as well.

It's a good watch! Very Happy

Cool. Thumbs up

I remember that being posted on the HAMB awhile back, but I never sat through and watched it till now. Very simple eloquent explanation of a gear-drive diff.

Nice find. Can you imagine what would happen to a company now if they asked the engineers to do what the two people did at the end of the video?
