@imaniket4u There is a carrier around the whole unit, the carrier holds those 6 "lay" shafts in alignment with each other, the very first motion shown, with the red arrow is the carrier being driven. Just like a regular differential from a truck you can remove the ring gear, and the carrier, and show just the central portion which is what is different anyhow. You could engineer this same unit to sit inside the carrier from any vehicle. Or atleast inside a unit the same size.
@akdomun 'Common rail' is just constant pressure to an accumulator instead of unit injection. It was used by Vickers and Doxford before the Second World War. *Some time* then, before the 156 road car's implementation.
@imaniket4u Once the axle wheel slip, slow down the wheel on the other, in extreme cases the car is completely stopped. When driving quickly affects the ability to transfer the driving forces of the car's directional stability during cornering...... Here's how it was translated from Czech by Google:)
@imaniket4u Center differential has the task of distributing torque between the two driven axles in the car with permanent four-wheel drive. Problems with sliping wheels front or rear axles are similar to those of the individual axles of the wheels on the left and right side.
@tmccread If i'm correct, I think common rail was invented by Alfa Romeo in the 156...but they didn't patent it in time...so all the others did the same.
It is a Common rail as it is the TDCi engine with the fuel supply manifold on it look at the video common rail has two stage injection the tddi does not.
thiers still cam plunger, and hydraulic plunger types, by the looks this one is hydraulic. the ecm controls how much fuel gets into the injector, and how much oil pressure is in the oil manifold, timing is also computer controlled meui is basically the same, but uses cam operated plungers instead of the pressurized engine oil. they both use a common fuel rail that is machined into the cylinder head, what most people consider a common rail, is a heui injector system
I disagree with you... common rail pumps fuel to the "common rail" and from there distribute it to the every single cylinder, after that, injectors operate electronically with many stages of injection (more than two) on every power stroke. That's how work Common Rail... and this engine don't work on even similar base.
A standard differential will tranfer all the power to a wheel slipping in mud, snow, etc. This design won't. To make a standard diff transfer power to the wheel with good traction is possible by putting clutch discs on them. They're called limited slip differentials & they're prone to failure and require more maintenance. This type is bullet proof. Formula one race cars use a different version of this type. That should be endorsement enough. The guy who invented this was a genius.
That would completely eliminate Dead battery driving. Yes you can even start a car without a battery, just roll it down a hill or get pushed fast enough (Manual)
It would be cool if car companies went back to the drawing board and came out with a camless engine, and no not a 2 cycle engine. With independent valves be electrically controlled you could in a sense unlock a horse power gain that cam'd engines would not achive if such a feat could happen.
Wasn't this once called a "squirm" differential? I heard they're used in the mules they use at airports to push the planes around, and pull the luggage trains.
