I agree with funguy, i would like to know how they drive the rotors(? what ever you call them) and still have them spin around the with the tub.

it's actually remarkably simple.

those rotor plates are angled toward the center as you see.
the backs of those rotor edges are toothed, which mesh with a center gear underneath the inner basket.
