Under normal circumstances, everything in the gear carrier is turning together at near-zero relative speed and near-zero wear. With one axle welded stuck, the differential's gears are spinning like crazy from the left-right speed difference the whole time. These bearing-less pins holding the differential gears together aren't meant for that.

All that heat on a no bearing surface like spyder gears have welded them together it sounds like too He should have cut the axel in half, and weld the spyder gears to just saw, the gear ate through the pin and snapped it. they should have welded the diff and cut the axle for a proper test

Maximum continuous relative differential speed is generally based on having a smaller spare tire and a 'limp it home' torque input. Driving around with full torque on a 100% speed difference is well beyond what the splash lubrication could ever hope to sustain. Very cool to see it taken to complete failure.

Cool story bro.

A friend of mine used to run the family tractor into town in bad weather. He would get up to speed and get the right wheels into the ice on the shoulder of the road and hit the right brake, slide the wheel, and gain speed.

When drifting I would break shafts now and then, it was a welded diff so the single powered wheel would spin at normal speeds but what was crazy was how easily it would break traction and spin. I could roll on in 5th gear and have a huge 1 wheel peel, it was unsettling but a bit fun at the same time.

In the 1950s, a gentleman called Mr.Fell designed a gearbox for a railway locomotive that used only differentials. It had FOUR engines! Each one was switched in at certain speeds. No.1 from rest to around 10 mph, 1 & 2 10 to 25 ish, 1,2 & 3 25 to 45 then all 4 up to its maximum of 70 mph. They used fluid couplings (torque converters) to switch the engines in.

I think that it will travel twice as fast, with half the power. So if it originally did 20mph in gear 3 at 2000rpm, then it will do 40mph, but take twice as long to reach that speed. For a future project, I want to see the park mechanism of an automatic transmission put under extreme tests. Like put a car in park on the back of a flatbed and lift it up for steeper angle. I wonder if the wheels will lose grip, or the park gear will break first?

I've slammed a car into park while driving and they just rattle to a jerk stop, it's essentially a large toothed cog that has a pin/lever that locks the output shaft which has a steep bevel so it'll hold but will " ping " around if under forced conditions. On grass/ gravel it might slide the wheels but on tarmac I'd say it'll hold unless bunted.

Build a car back to front, take the steering column from the front and mount it in the back so your looking out the back window, the back seat area now becomes the dashboard, run a super long steering shaft back to the front of the car where the steering box is, do the same with the gear shifter and reverse all the seating and have rear wheel steering like a Forklift.

There are plenty of vehicles capable of achieving this. My 1993 Land Cruisers 80 Series has diff locks in the front, rear, and center differentials. If you activate all of them on pavement, the driveline binds up and it's almost impossible to make a turn. Not to mention it's very hard on the components.

Video idea : Build a custom differential that can handle 100% power to one wheel and see if there are significant fuel economy improvements. Since the car goes faster at a lower RPM when in one wheel mode, it should be much more economical. Some electric utility vehicles have 1-wheel propulsion mode to save battery power (such as the Polaris Ranger EV).

Having all power to one wheel is what old, old cars used to have. Before they figured out the differential.

One day these guys will accidentally build a wormhole to a different universe made out entirely of Lada parts.

I feel like instead of planting one side of the axle shaft, Cut it and put bearings on both halfs instead of the the half spinning by the wheel, Then weld the diff so one wheel gets the power while the other side of the axle thats cut just spins free, Kinda like a welded diff with a broke axle if that makes sense

I replaced an axle that had internals that looked that way: Some teenager took his truck out in a field, locked in the 4 wheel drive, and proceeded to just donut the crap out of the field. The joke was on him though: Even though Grandpa bought the truck, Grandpa wasn't paying for upkeep.

you can try the same experiment but on a diesel engine. they operate on lower RPM by default. so splitting the differential like this shouldnt be as stressful to it.

Weld the diff remove the piece of axle shaft that you welded solid and only have the one axle shaft on the other side hooked up I had a truck brake axle shaft one time with a welded diff and it would lay black marks down the road and first second and third & 4th gear it was a Nissan 720 2.4 l pickup truck

Why don't you make also a car with side wheel drive, make only one side wheels move the car 😂

Sending all power to one wheel of a rear wheel drive is the same an open diff, so that's already been done (more or less).

Could try again with a crazy bigger diff the motor couldn't break.

When one wheel stops spinning, the logic dictates that the speed goes quadruple as one wheel gets double the torque but braking force halves as only one wheel has friction due to brake pads touching. When one wheel gets stuck, the speed drops more than 50% due to non-spinning wheel dragging.

Another one maybe would be to have totally rusted brake rotors, with rust deposits affecting the surface area of the rotor.

He floored it and the auto trans went through the gears till the speedo read 100 MPH and the wheel spinning at 200 MPH on the ice started smoking and burned the tread off of it. I am sure it did not help the rear end but he drove it for years after that. I think what really happened was the wheel burned through the ice and slowly reach payment and that is what took the tread off.

Hello from Okla.

What happens? *All the power goes to one wheel*

Okay that's the wrong way to do it. Get rid of the differential. Move the engine to the back and have the drive shaft drive one wheel directly. Maybe through a universal joint or maybe not. Before Super Beetle VW Bug had a single joint on the side of the gear box so as rear driven wheel went up and down their angle changed and that was fine. Two less joints to break and cheaper. If it was a hybrid electric car there could be one wheel driven by gas engine and another by electric. Maybe combo motor/generator after the clutch so gas engine can disengage and run one wheel through gear box. That might be too long to fit but just have the engine stick out the side of the car and call it a new style.
