The  physics is what it is all about.  The VAST amount of the torque is  
transmitted along the outside of any shaft.  The center of a solid  shaft 
transmits 
zero torque.  This is why driveshafts have been  hollow tubes since the early 
days of automobiles.


Then how do you explaiin the torque tube drives that GM (and others)  used up 
until the 60s?
 
They seemed to work pretty well.
