Hi guys
Been lurking and learning here, for a project I have in mind.
One of the things everyone building a quad or a delta trike wonders about is differentials.
Very simple (and damn clever!):

Personally I'd enclose the diff/gap in the vid, fit sealed bearings, and drill/tap an oil filler hole.
I note that putting 2 small (springless?) centrifugal clutches in the pinion gears will give off roaders a limited slip differential.
Question is; where to source such..?
If you really wanted to get technical; you could even fit 2 small generators/motors to the pinion gears, with brushes around the shaft/s and get regen and limited slip every time you turned a corner!
But then you'd have turned a coil around the top of your shocks, placed magnets on arms and be regen-ing from every pump in the road too and I don't see anyone doing that!?
This crowd makes small diffs and many other interesting bits and bobs:
