Understanding Limited Slip Differential

Why are open diffs even made? Every car should have lsd

Axial force is induced

What I get out of this is the tire with more friction, that side gear is not moving, torque from the bevelled action of the spider gear will push that side gear out, causing clutch pack on that side to lock.

Man i sure do love LSD.(im not a car guy)

Really good video it helped me so much.

🎉

Great video! Very, very informative! Thanks very much for providing this!

im a bit high, so i dont understand at all and ill try to find another video for idiots, but! i really appriciate the work behind this video, and just all that sh*t about it that you had to make, just to explain how it works, thank you, you got my subscribe

Brilliant. How many zillions of variations were tried?

Thanks for explaining this because I could not figure out how this will work any different to an open diff, but now I understand that it is the spider gears trying to separate from the torque that puts the pressure on the side gears and tightens the clutch pack. Thanks for this information.

nice explination

man... we should've had electric vehicles decades ago ... this is a solution to a problem that should've never existed in the first place

articles were invented in 1292
people in 1291:

10 years ago.. good video.

So is the puddle side not the side where the high friction pads are pressed against the casing? It’s just the animation shows the puddle on the right and then displays the LSD action on the left. Sorry if I am misunderstanding just looking for some help understanding.

Best parts of video are when it talks about clutch pack

Helpful and entertaining

But how?... Some smart people did this.. I still can't comprehend how it works 😂

Amazing that people get affected by this every day but they have absolutely no idea what it is and they don’t know how it works. This is insane and incredibly sad. Thank you so much for making this video available to everyone because people need to know this outstanding stuff, even if they don’t need to, because it is so beautiful.

What software do you simulate it with?

A differential

Please stop calling it an "LSD"

very interesting, I love LSD

Kind of like a motorbike clutch with the friction plates.

Excellent condition explanation. I didn't get it until you explained the movement the gears have and how resistance will force the gears away locking them. Then it made sense.

Ohhh so that's why my e30 lsd decided to act as an open diff, the clutch pads are worn-out 😂

Just alternate by the hydraulic compressing brake to reduce rpm of the axle of the wheel steering to

Ah yes cars always need LSD to work efficiently

Man in video sound smart but talk dumb. Is he smart caveman or dumb mechanical engineer? World will never know.

this was amazing! Thank you!

It's a similar clutch pack like on motorcycles but it's in two parts and it's using the spider gears as the force that pushes them together to engage when the load is High Enough
that's actually pretty ingenious.

I once had a radio control buggy that had a normal open differential and whenever it got stuck and one of the wheels were free even though one of the Power Wheels were touching the ground

the one that was in the air would spin freely at high speed meaning the buggy was stuck.

A limited slip differential would have helped in that instance. I didn't understand what was happening all I knew what was the behavior when that would happen not the reason.

this makes so much sense now.

Gotta love that LSD mmh~ ;)

I drove a car before.

Wow, this is so cool

How on earth the engineer found this mechanism. Genius

I love using LSD out in the woods. It helps get me through rough patches, when I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

Is possible to put diff lock in a vehicle that doesn't have one and its not a 4*4... to be specific the Toyota hiace diesel rear wheel drive

His English is fine. It's his ability to narrate, that is perhaps lacking. In that
His lines sound too read-dee. But you also have to consider, he's relating an extemely complicated system to the general population! Who probably think positraction is the time they take to put the breaks on a relationship! Lol

Gotta love LSD

I love adding LSD to my car. Makes for a real trip

I should have studied mechanical engineering

This script was written by Kevin from The Office in his small talk phase.

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?

Superb 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Slick.

New to the channel, lsd rear drive far better than wfd with torque steer

Instead of using friction plates that wear out quickly, why don't they invent something like the synchronizer blocker ring in manual transmissions to lock the plates (orange and blue) together.

beautiful video - One feedback though , why kept a water mark that makes the picture unclear ?
