I love this old video explaining how a differential works. Skip to 1:50 to bypass the amusing motorcycle antics. Or not.

Admit it, you really didn't know, did you. Now, if they only explained the non-slip version as well.

 

Tinkertoys - they most educational toy of all!

 

Haha. "Inconvenient for passengers and awkward for carrying luggage". Probably dangerous too lol.

Nice video. I'll admit, I really didn't know how they worked.

 

I like the old videos but I think the spokes where confusing. I knew how diffs worked before I watched it and it confused the hell out of me why they demonstrated it like that.

 

Well, the world _was_ black and white back then.

Why don't you make the color version and show us how _you'd_ describe how the work? <== Raul loves this guy.

 

I loved it -- so basic, yet so complete. Now if only GM could turn that philosophy to their current products

 

They also failed to explain 9Krpm dumps

 

Nah. Wrap the driveshaft in a nice slice of mink & you'd have a killer auto-shoe-shine

 

^^^ and there's a pun in there if you look even the slightest bit































Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay... "auto"...get it Like 'car' (auto) ...nevermind

 

I hope I don't have to ever replace a spoke! Them looks hard to git at. Wonder hom many's standard in an S?
