Then there must be some misunderstanding because you brought up 'power' on your second post.
I still think foama has a point. Even when one wheel slips, the differential sends power to both wheels equally.
And I'll accept that, but I maintain we were talking general operation, not specific semantics.
If one wheel is stuck and the other one spins up, I call that getting all the power, and I don't feel the specific measurable exact power applied to each CV was what anybody would have thought I meant. The "power " "goes" to the free wheel, because "it's the one that moves", not the much longer winded "the free wheel takes a minute amount of power to spin while the equal power is not enough on the traction wheel to have a notable effect since it takes X times the power to overcome the traction versus a free wheel".
