Mind = Blown....V. How a Differential Works

This is an awesome video showing how a standard differential works on a car. Engineers will probably lol at me for this, but w/e. Pretty cool, I never knew this before, thought it would be cool to share.

Only mind blowing part was how much of a PITA it was to show stuff like this before CGI. :slight_smile:

Very cool! Now let’s see how it works with an LSD, or more confusing, an electronically controlled diff runs around and screams

lol, I definitely would like to see where/how the LSD

yeah, it’s not mind blowing, but it’s a sweet visual rep

Cool vid

That narrator has been in more movies than anyone else, ever. lol

lol, truth. Open diffs are the suck anyway.

Neat video. The longer 9 min. version (in the related videos) has a cool little circus type performance at the beginning lol.

magic and wormholes

Now go watch how an automatic transmission works.

Sweet vid I think it was on here a year or 2 ago but I can’t recall. It’s crazy to think how much time they must have put into developing the first engines and differentials.

they are really not bad once get in there and do it.

for those who dont know, when something is refered to as posi traction, thats a gm term, the rest of the industry calls it lsd, its the exact same thing.
