I did some tests with this theory out of legos.

On one side of the differential I geared a Lego motor up (40 tooth on motor shaft meshed with 8 tooth gear going to differential). On the other side I geared a Lego motor down (8 tooth gear meshed with 40 tooth gear going to differential).

The differential spun at the speed and torque of the geared up motor. The geared down motor did not have any effect on until I held the differential until the geared up motor stalled. That is when the geared down motor kicked in and spun the differential with the speed and torque of the geared down motor.

So from my findings it seems that this does not work, unless anyone can prove it correct.
