The anti backdriving property is generally apparent with worm drives of greater than 5 to 1. 5:1 and less can be backdriven. Give or take dependent upon the coefficients of sliding friction between the worm and gear materials.
My old GM truck has a "limited slip" differential. I'm not so sure about the name. It seems to be a diff that is limited because it slips on absolutely everything. The truck will get stuck on flat green grass in 4WD mode. I wonder how a Torsen diff would perform. 4WD is tricky because you have 1 power axle going to a transfer case (fancy diff) that powers 2 drive axles, each of which goes to an axle diff (pumpkin) that goes to 2 wheels. 4 wheels, 3 diffs, 2 drive axles, 1 power axle, and still going 0 m.p.h. :D
That's a really interesting mechanism Rob! If you're going to use it backwards for two inputs to one output, what effect does their differing speeds have on the output? Like would it equalise the two inputs (split the diff) or would the higher speed input side determine the output?

Robert good to see you doing well. I've learned so much from you. Shout out to all my neighbors in Texas. Stay safe y'all.
thank you mate and cheers
Excellent and informative as always!
Need LEGO colors and have everything snap together. Maybe some filament in colors? I still miss my Lego Technic set.
Great Stuff Earthling

Great subject Robert, I never would have believed that you could design such an intricate gear system in Tinkercad 👍
it's quite an impressive program to say it's free and easy to use
Thumbs 👍

lol - i wonder too!
Thanks allot ❤❤❤ ur videos
awesome - cheers mate
Ive only tried this once or twice BUT tinkercad also has an animation function....maybe that could be a cool visual for all of your hard work?
Very good
Thanks

because of the linking with the two spurs gears i think it would avergae it across the output - but to be honest I amnot too sure mate
