  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) Manual Locking differential and Automatic locking differential I presume. (...) Does it work? Steve (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) It works extremely well actually. It is easy to push the car when it is going straight, but as you turn the steering wheel, you can feel the gradual tug of the LSD working as the car goes into a tighter turn. On grippy surfaces like linolium (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Shouldn't that be understeer? If the inner wheel is provideing a force, surely that would cause the nose of the car to veer outwards rather than inwards. Steve (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) In the case of a RWD car with a *stiff* LSD in the rear, the inner wheel is always slipping a little bit whether on the throttle or brakes or nothing.. Considering that the highest amount of grip is typically at a 15% slip angle, it is not (...) (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I don't know if your making any sense either :-) Steve (24 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) Here are some pictures of a manual locking differential. It uses the newest Lego differential and some parts from the gear box found in the Super street sensation car. I've been thinking about measuring the speed of each wheel using two (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) Nice design for the manual locking lsd. If you throw an adder-subtractor in there, then you would only need one rotation sensor. The drawback would be added friction in the drivetrain and space. //Henry Chea hchea@kungstorget.nu *S* Göteborg, (...) (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
(...) Why didn't I think of this before? I have only one rotation sensor, but I do have five differentials... Thanks for the tip! Greetings, David (24 years ago, 21-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
Here is a design that I used a while ago. It works good when one of the wheeles gets off the ground, but takes a second to get engaged. (...) (24 years ago, 23-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: LSD/Auto-Locking Differential Gears
 
Thanks. I did that design over two years ago. It drives like a tank! Its geared low and can haul around a 5 lb. bag of sugar. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
