Ugears STEM Lab Differential

The STEM Lab Differential is an educational model for learning the essence and principles of operation. The differential is designed to cause the drive wheels, which are on the same axle, to rotate at a different speed and travel different distances at the same time.
 
The differential mechanism allows the car to corner without slipping the wheels, reduces tire wear and makes entering and exiting corners easier for the driver.
 
Once you have mounted the differential, you can unlock it by pushing the lever to position 1 (up) and moving both wheels by turning the drive or wheel. The control lever independently controls the smooth locking of the left and right wheels by turning left or right, respectively. In the “down” position of the lever, both wheels are connected in a rigid coupling and can either rotate together (driven by the drive gear or a wheel) or lock simultaneously (by the lever of the wheel).
 
When and who invented it
The car differential was invented by the French engineer Onesiphore Pecqueur in 1825. In the 1930s, the German car engineer Ferdinand Porsche made great improvements to the device.
 
The STEM Lab collection is intended to introduce children to science in a playful way. All products from the STEM Lab collection are therefore very instructive and contribute to de development of your children.
