Planetary Gear System – Working And Functioning Explained!

The planet and sun gears mesh so thattheir pitch circles roll without slip. A point on the pitch circle of the planet gear traces an epicycloid curve. In this simplified case, the sun gear is fixed and the planetary gear(s) roll around the sun gear.

An epicyclic gear train can be assembled so the planet gear rolls on the inside of the pitch circle of a fixed, outer gear ring, or ring gear, called an annular gear. In this case, the curve traced by a point on the pitch circle of the planet is a hypocycloid.
The combination of epicycle gear trains with a planet engaging both a sun gear and an annular gear is called a planetary gear train.
In this case, the annular gear is usually fixed and the sun gear is driven.

The Torque Vectoring Differential on the Lexus RC F explained

Torque vectoring is a feature that seems to be popping up in everything from hatchbacks to hypercars, but what exactly is it and how do auto manufacturers implement it? There are afew different ways it can be applied, but in a recent post on its official blog, Lexus explains how its torque-vectoring differential works in the RC F.The RC F, packed with a 5.0-liter V8, sends 467 horsepower and 389 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. When it gets there, the torque vectoring differential divides the torque between the two, providing stability on the rearaxle in situations where the driver might lose it

How this differs from a standard differential is that, where as a basic mechanical diff spins the outer wheel faster than the inner wheel (it has longer to travel), the TVD in the RC F employs electronic motors and actuators that apply pressure to multi-plate clutches that cancontrol the distribution of torque.Essentially, while good ol’ physics will get the differential to split the torque between the wheels, the electronics can now influence things when it sees fit, “vectoring” the torque where it senses the car needs it the most.In a track application, putting a ton of torque on the inside wheel of a turn would basically put the brakes on it, having the outside of the car sort of pivot around it, making tight corners easier to handle. Specifically for the Lexus RC F, there’s three modes that can be manuallyselected: Standard, Slalom, and Track. Standard (surprise) is the basic driving configuration, while slalom optimizes the response for quick left-right alternating experienced on twisty back roads. Track mode puts an emphasis on keeping the rear axle stable at high speeds.

When you want to know how things really work, study them when they're coming apart.
