Abstract

A vehicle differential inversion assembly for splitting the torque of the vehicle power source two ways to opposite sides of the vehicle, to a set of wheels; a left wheel and a right wheel. The wheels are supported by respective independent left and right suspensions allowing vertical travel of each wheel. The assembly features a differential module for splitting the torque two ways. The differential module is disposed between the left wheel and the right wheel and has a left side output and a right side output. The outputs spin at opposed directions. A left output axle couples with the left side output and extends to the left of the differential module. A right output axle couples with the right side output and extends to the right of the differential module. A left wheel axle is cross-coupled with the right output axle by a right inversion joint disposed at a distance to the right of the differential module. The left wheel axle extends toward and turns the left wheel. A right wheel axle is cross-coupled with the left output axle by a left inversion joint disposed at a distance to the left of the differential module. The right wheel axle extends toward and turns the right wheel. The right inversion joint and the left inversion joint provide for angular articulation of the left wheel axle and the right wheel axle, respectively, thereby allowing the vertical travel of each wheel.
