Well that's a good way of explaining the function of a differential... i like the 50's black and white information film theme..

I think its older than the 50's...

Excellent video, it may be old but it does the trick. Good for anybody, those with little to no mechanical knowledge can understand it.

Differentials were a big mystery to me until I built an r/c car and saw how the diff worked in it. Fascinating!

Cool video ... the differential is less complicated than most think.

I like the part in the video where they show the drive shaft running open inside the car ... didn't mention anything about being a safety hazard. I could see some kid in he back seat getting tore to shreds by the drive shaft.
