Differential explained - How differential works open, limited slip

The video tutorial explains the function and mechanics of differentials in cars, focusing on rear-wheel drive systems. It covers the need for differentials to allow wheels to rotate at different speeds, especially when turning. The tutorial details the components and operation of open differentials and introduces limited slip differentials, which provide better traction on slippery surfaces. The video also highlights the importance of gear ratios in balancing fuel efficiency and acceleration.
