Differential Gears
This model shows how differential gears work, such as those found in motor vehicles.
I think this would be a good educational tool for people interested in mechanical engineering.
The wheels are only small, but can be easily replaced with bigger and different styled designs. Please note the base shown in the images is not the one that was uploaded. The final base is slightly bigger in area. I have included an exploded view to help assemble the parts.
