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.
@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.
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.
@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.
@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:)
