If the left side gear (red) encounters resistance, the pinion gear (green) rotates about the left side gear, in turn applying extra rotation to the right side gear (yellow).
This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Doubled the length of rightmost arrow to indicate the doubling of the rotational speed of the yellow right side gear. Used GIMP for the edit.. The original can be viewed here: Differential locked.png: . Modifications made by Pgn674.
