Wow, really nice explanations. I wished that all my college classes where like that.

Wow I never knew exactly how this worked... and never really gave much thought on the wheels needing to move at different speeds when turning and how it all worked... (Differentials) Now I know an awful lot thanks to a video that's nearly a CENTURY old!

Very nice, I've never heard anyone pronounce the 'H' in "wheel" before, that was amazing.

Wow im not being funny but they sure did know how to explain things simply back in the days and that is something i allways wanted to know but just never remembered to look up what an amazing invention and made so simple to understand

Shouldn't this be in "cars"? This is a very nice presentation that makes it easy to grasp the concept. Now we need one that deals with a posi-trac differential!

2 months ago today, my brother managed to blow up his diff when doing a burnout.

When stock car racing you remove the Diff and weld steel plates into it to make the wheels turn at the same speed for oval circuits etc. Just thought i would add that

#36 Don't know about stock car racing in Scotland but in NASCAR this is the differential used......
