I meant the relative difference in output speed (left-right). But then I had a nosebleed already when my friend got to that part of the explanation

The ATD diff has a ring in the middle made of the same material as slipper pads. This pad touches the diff rings slightly before the balls and gets compressed, giving a very stiff feeling diff. Somewhere between a straight axle and a diff.
Here is a pic where you can see the bits.
