This is the best animation I've ever seen that demonstrates how a differential works.
It allows the viewer to visually sense how the torque is transmitted at the two different speeds.

@@timn4481 yup That is the ultimate video on this subject!
@@timn4481 yeah the oldie is better in this case
It explains how the spider gear allows it to happen, but not why it happens.
Not even! There's a way better video that was made in the 1930s. czcams.com/video/yYAw79386WI/video.html
Whoever created the differential is a genius. I didn't think that differentials were this simple and compact.
From what I understand, differential gears were not created by any one person. It was independently created multiple times in multiple regions across Eurasia at multiple points in history (eg. the ancient Greeks, ancient Chinese kingdoms, etc independently developed it as early as 2000 years ago). So it was already an old and well known concept by the premodern era.
Creative.
@@Intranetusa Oh wow, that's interesting
To my mind, this is more beautiful and profound than any work of art.
@@Intranetusa I guess I'm not well versed in history that far back, but, as I understand it, it was also used as a multiplier gear in mechanical adding machines before it was in cars.
The differential is probably the most neglected and under appreciated, yet absolutely essential part of a vehicle.

Repent to Jesus Christ!
“In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”? And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” He also says, “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.” To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”

It's how challenging the engineering of just moving a car is, we see these things all our lives but don't come across how these things work. Truly amazing.
For Christmas 1962 I got a large scale model car. Although I had to assemble the differential I didn't completely understand the mechanics. After all these years it is nice to have such a clear explanation and animated illustration of its operation.
It’s one of these things that is so simple once you understand it if u know what I mean. I was looking at the diff in my Ford anglia think8ng how in the hell does this allow the thing to go round corners aha
@@cameronrichardson3108 I was able to keep up until he started explaining how the spider gear works. I still can't understand how one axle can turn slower than the other when both are meshed to one piece.
how old are u?
@@RichardFStripeRendezvous Maybe this one explains better: czcams.com/video/yYAw79386WI/video.html
@@RichardFStripeRendezvous so when its going straight, both wheels want to slow down so they both exert a force backwards on the spider wheel but they cancel out. Image just the left wheel trying to slow down, it would push back on the spider wheel and rotate it counter clockwise. If the two wheels are doing this theyll try to rotate it opposite ways and it cancels out. (This is about why they dont rotate when going straight)
Now for turning, the spider wheel is pushing both wheels forwards still because of the larger gear it is mounted on, but the wheel on the right needs to spin less and if it didnt it would have to slip and drag along the ground. This is friction. Instead of this friction happening to the rubber of the wheel it carries through the axle to the spider gear. Remember what we learned about both wheels equally pushing back on it? Well now this added friction causes the spider wheel to rotate. If you look at just the sides of it where it connects to the wheel axles, on the right side the larger ring gear rotation will be rotating the right wheel, but the spider wheel’s side that we are looking at is moving the opposite way.
For the left side its the same, but since the friction is rotating the spider wheel on the right this rotation is added to the left axle. You really just have to think about the gears colliding and pushing.
Didn't really plan on learning about differentials today, however this is just beautifully explained and animated!
CZcams recommendations were what dragged me here 😆
And an awesomely simple design!
just wait for limited slip differentials!
Lol same here but couldn’t help but watch it
Me too 🙋🏽♂️☺️
And i have just learned in less than five minutes what people in the past have taken hours to try to explain. Excellent diagram and graphics 👍🏿
I'm not a mechanic, but I love that I learned this. I never knew the wheels moved at different speeds during turns
yea u wont ever notice it but when you think about it you might have doubts
I never even would have thought about the back wheels needing to go through turns, let alone figuring out a solution like this. Holy crap people are smart.
There's a rear end called a "Detroit Locker" that locks the gears so they turn at the same speed. I don't know it's origins but's used for drag racing so power goes to both wheels evenly at all times. If the racing car turns a corner the inside wheel typically chirps as it rounds the corner because the weight is on the outer wheel and the inner wheel has to spin freely by doing short little wheel hops.

My husband is an airplane mechanic and loves watching these kind of videos. When I was a child, my dad was in charge of tractor drivers when part of the Federal route of Brazil Rio/Bahia was building, around 1950’s, and he had a room just for his tools and equipment that he had to work with, so I always enjoyed being around heavy machinery, tractors and its equipments and tools.. loved this video.. thanks a lot, it brought me back good memories of my dad, which I miss a lot!
A demonstration of the best part of humanity.

Good job thank You.
@@sfoti6973 SIR, can you explain simply because I am beginner but enthusiast to learn? Pls sir
I've wondered my entire adult life how these things worked and you have now taught me - THANK YOU !!
After trying to get my head around this for years I finally understand thanks to the time you took to create these super clear animations. Thank you
There are endless possibilities when it comes to physics and engineering... the design of the differential is very clever! Hats off to whoever came up with the design! I know that one wasn't a simple idea thrown together overnight
One of the best ways to learn english and engineering 👍🏼
U guys have my respect
Not quite. The best way to learn English (capital E) is from an Englishman!
Can we give the guy who invented the differential some kind of award please.
Nah maybe not for the fill plug. It's a pain in the butt to get off
He was probably awarded with a shit ton of money.
@@rogerwalker2224 You think so?
Excellent video , top quality, no annoying music either . Thank you .
This was great. My dad tried to verbally explain it once but went over my head. Now it makes perfect sense.
See, this is the kind of clear and well-explained and depicted animation that is needed for these kinds of things. I've heard of WHAT differentials are, and what they're meant to do, but could never visualize them and see them in action to really understand how the motion is working. This was great.
Really great video. If you uploaded such type of videos 10 yrs ago I would have been an engineer rather than Admin officer.
How did somebody envision this before it existed? I mean that is an absolutely incredible invention. Some people out there are brilliant.
Baffled me for 58 years, and then this video has made it so clear!!!!! Thank you!
Simply an outstanding instructional. Where was CZcams back in 1969 when I was taking my first automotive class? Thank you for putting this together.

“The spider gear plays a pivotal role here.” Outstanding!

I paused there to comment :)
I checked before I commented. Good pun from an educational channel!

Weld it in place.
The people who designed this are fucking geniuses. Identified the problem and came up with a practical solution that is so useful in billions of people's lives every day.
Man talk about something we take for granted…. Excellent video
Vilebrequin approuve
"The differential is an integral part..."
That's some clever wordplay lmao. Also, how do engineers think of these things?!
I think most inventor and or engineers simply wanted more efficient ways so they come up with rough ideas until we finally get what we have now. They're goal is to solve problems first. Then they can improve on that I suspect.
There's another one in the video: "The spider gear plays a pivotal role here."
They got big brain
if a differential is part of an integral, it would came back to its original value, plus the c i gues :))
And later, "the spider gear plays a pivotal role here"
Cleanest explanation of how a punkin works I've ever seen. Thank you!
This is such a good explanation. As someone who wasn't privileged to learn this stuff growing up, I really appreciate when someone makes something so easy to follow along.
I know this has been around for a long time but whoever thought of this is probably not around anymore but they were nothing less than a total genius and if it was more than one person they all were.
Im a marine engineer.. But this chanel always been my favorite
Are you sure P.hub isn’t first on your list?
And I'm a computer engineer but I like this channel too.

Wow! I never thought that I'd understand how an open differential works. Great video.
Differential? More like "Intriguing and substantial!" This video is truly one of the most educationally valuable and compact things on CZcams. Maybe it's just because I'm a nerd (but in the comments on this video, aren't we all?), but that thumbnail was as good to me as any other clickbait.
It's so amazing How simple things are sometimes. You'd think it'd be much more complex..
Thanks for your animations, now I can know how few complex things work in real life. 😊 Well done bro keep it up! Hoping more videos from you.😊

Brilliant. Simple enough that our 9 and 11 year old understood. Now using your videos for every car related query
I'm 40 years old and know my auto-mechanics... This video revealed to me that I knew what Differential is for but not how it works. I love the feeling of being smarter now than I was five minutes ago :)
Can you please explain to me that how and when the spider gear "Knows" which direction the vehicle is turning?

Really didn't expect this in my CZcams feed but I'm glad I clicked on it!
I just want to say "KUDOS TO THOSE SPIDER GEAR DUDES".
I love learning about the engineering of cars, but often I get bored due to long unclear explanation, unknown terms without description, and lack of visual presentation.
But this one kept my eyes wide the whole time. Well done
this is the video for you.. czcams.com/video/yYAw79386WI/video.html
This is simply the best video I've seen on explaining differentials.
Man this video was clear and concise, I don't even know why I clicked it, but now I am subscribed!
Amazing animations help make this quite clear. However, the part about velocity (of spider and side gears) was a bit opaque (again the animation helped, but the terms and the arrows shown from an isometric angle were not the easiest to grasp intuitively)--maybe rotating the view to on top during that section might help?
It's still black magic even after having seen this video.
The force vectors on two sides of the spider gear decide the turning of spider gear. If the forces are same, the probability of rotation becomes 0. Sounds esoteric but thats how its embedded in our physics.
@@6s9hcr2 thanks

@@Kuak_Kuak Only reason I'm watching this video about differentials is because I watched that first video you linked. Old videos explain it better
Nah, try automatic transmission and all that planetary gears stuff.
Ingenious. Thanks for explaining this so clearly.
The content is a well-explained with a straightforward demonstration. Thank you.
This is pure genius! Time will not erase the ingenuity of this idea!
It's amazing that somebody's mind came up with this. I think about the genius of people like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison.
Brilliant Minds that come up with these kind of inventions. 🙂
It wasn't mentioned in the video, but the gears have a helical cut to provide more contact surface area for strength.
Yes and they are conical helical.
Thats the best representation of the power train n how its divided by a differential based on your curve of travel. It does well to convey how the free spinning gears simultaneous apply power but allow each axle to spin as need.
Absolutely BRILLIANT teaching. I love seeing the awesomeness of human ingenuity....rather than destruction.
Wonderful videos!!! Bravo!!👏👏👏👏🤩
I feel for those who are still not getting it that a different wording is needed. The differential allows the wheels to freely slip relative to the main drive shaft and relative to eachother. The differential has no direct control of the individual wheels apart from when both of the wheels are rotating at the same speed (equal forces)
I don't think that makes it easier to understand. The unit contains only gears, and gears don't freely slip.
What an ingeniouos invention this is. I neve really understood the inner workings of a differential, but this video clears a up a lot. Thnx for creating!
If someone read this: do I see it correct when I say that the outer wheel in a turn dictates the division of torque by the spider wheel, or is it a combination of both wheels?
what a thorough explanation of a complex topic. This channel is awesome. I'm surprised it only has 5 million subscribers.
I knew what a differntial does but never how it works. That was simple easy and very teaching!
Impressive that in its essence the spider gear is an inactive passive part that is automatically activated during different rpm in the wheels. genius!
Why is it called a spider gear?
Everybody gangsta until they try to understand a planetary gear engine.
Basically a planetary gear is a differential where all the shafts are aligned in one direction
Idk why this is being recommended to me now but I appreciate it I learned something new
Take your time and appreciate the genius who invented this.
Enfin le vultech les loulous !!!! wait ..
ça leur fait des belles animations pour illustrer, ils auront plus d'excuse
@@Methar39 il faut encore avoir les droits ahah
Haha je cherchais les commentaires qui allaient faire allusion à Vilebrequin ^^
A differential is a gear train with three shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average.
The following description of a differential applies to a traditional rear-wheel-drive car or truck with an open or limited slip differential combined with a reduction gearset using bevel gears (these are not strictly necessary - see spur-gear differential):
Thus, for example, if the car is making a turn to the right, the main ring gear may make 10 full rotations. During that time, the left wheel will make more rotations because it has farther to travel, and the right wheel will make fewer rotations as it has less distance to travel. The sun gears (which drive the axle half-shafts) will rotate at different speeds relative to the ring gear (one faster, one slower) by, say, 2 full turns each (4 full turns relative to each other), resulting in the left wheel making 12 rotations, and the right wheel making 8 rotations.
The rotation of the ring gear is always the average of the rotations of the side sun gears. This is why if the driven roadwheels are lifted clear of the ground with the engine off, and the drive shaft is held (say, leaving the transmission in gear preventing the ring gear from turning inside the differential), manually rotating one driven roadwheel causes the opposite roadwheel to rotate in the opposite direction by the same amount.
When the vehicle is traveling in a straight line there will be no differential movement of the planetary system of gears other than the minute movements necessary to compensate for slight differences in wheel diameter, undulations in the road which make for a longer or shorter wheel path, etc.
Repent to Jesus Christ!

Would this work in reverse, where two separate engines power one single axis, connected to like a single propeller? Two counter spinning engines with variabel output could power a heli rotor perhaps, of even four engines on four sides working together Powering one single vertical axis... or two counter spinning heli blades....
Yes, it's called a planetary gear set. It is used in that way e.g. in Toyota Prius
