Torsen Differential

And here we are again. This differential was created by someone else, but i just had to include it here. the link to Rob Stelik's page is here (the guy who made the original thing.)

That out of the way. This is a really great tool for use with any sort of heavy off road vehicle, I'm working on using it in a central steering 4x4 right now. From what I can gather, the only use for this is in a heavy slip situation such as mud or snow. A standard differential creates a formula of a1+a2 = d. Where a1 is one output axel, a2 is the other output axel and the drive is the total of the two rotations. (I think I could be wrong)

This differential takes a torque loss on one side and moves it across the differential to the other wheel, similar to a posi-track system without the computer. The torque at which the movement is transferred is fixed (and I don't know the math!). That having been said, build it, it makes good use of how technic gears can be used in an economical way.

Notes: as usual the blue gear is the input and the axels with the red gears must not be attached to the main (40t) gears.

Big Apologie Rob I forgot who made the original *.dat This is not the *.dat that I have. I seem to have lost the one that I made. As with the new differential, I was working on one and lost them both.

But for future reference I did come up with a way to make my differential 1.5 studs thinner so it will fit into more things.
