How a Diff works

Cool video explaining how a differential works from a long time ago. Ignore the motorcycle riding and skip to about the 2 minute mark...

That's an awesome demonstration.

I love the end when they have the two people "log walking" to demonstrate the difference in speed of the wheels.

That was a really good video. I'd be interested to see how an LSD works.

...and the thing is, it's remained the same for almost a hundred years. It's stupidly simple.

yea RNJ. TBH I had a grasp of how they worked. But that video from the OP was the best demonstration of it I've ever seen.
