That was a fantastic metaphor, and though I am intimately familiar with engines I had never thought of the crankshaft as four simple hand cranks stuck together before.
I wonder if it was inspired by well known this classic video explaining differentials.

Great video. I wish there were videos this clear to explain everything!
