Then Look at the archaeic pushrod V8 engines in drag racing that produce insane amounts of power for far cheaper. Making about 11,000 HP for an 8.3 liter engine. That's like 1,400 hp per liter lol. Also the sound of a top fuel is something that can't be explained. It's the one motorsport where you have to be there to experience it. 0 to 330 mph in under four seconds.

*_There is another way to capture wasted exhaust heat..._* Most people are familiar with Solar Cells for making electricity. Technically, they are called PV Cells (Photo-voltaic), aka light making volts. PV Cells can be tuned to operate more efficiently within a certain light bandwidth, typically Sunlight. There is another kind and it's known as TPV Cells (Thermo-photo-voltaic) aka infrared heat making volts. These cells convert hot air directly into electricity. They can be placed inside hot exhaust systems and capture energy typically wasted out of the tailpipe. They are far more efficient than older thermo-couples. *_IC (internal combustion) with EV (electric) = hybrid. F1 takes it to extremes..._*

It’s actually insane how these engines works, it’s truly the pinnacle of motorsport engineering. But one thing I can’t understand is since refueling isn’t allowed since 2010, is 110L of fuel enough for each race? I mean there are almost 50 laps in a circuit.

I hope you can answer this question. When the cars are at maximum power they have the waste gate open. Why is that because the wastegate closed would be used to produce maximum boost right?
@jdmimprezal3753
@jdmimprezal3753 Рік тому
Typically on a standard turbo car, wastegate opens to let excess gasses escape and not enter the turbo. Controld the boost to desired so you dont overboost and potentially damage the engine

2:14 - The French farmers and ADM in the US thank you. 4:21- The programmers retirement rule! Balancing all 30 or so conditions to optimize the compromises there are likely variable, second-to-second, over the race distance. 5:17 - A long ways from looking after a DFV, and I' glad I had a chance to do that as opposed to looking for orange cables. 5:39 - "Stuck a finger in the air and spun it in a circle!" - a driver in R&T at the time. 7:18 - The reason f1 interests me no longer at all; computer games on a race track. "Gee, Red Bull's programmers must have found a real advantage on slow turns towards the end of the race!!!!!"

I know people cry for the days of V12-V8 but honestly what we have now is I would argue better, races are more strategical now and these new power units really are more with the times, F1 is all about pushing new technologies to the limit, so hybrids, smaller engines and synthetic fuels etc is appropriate. I just pray F1 doesn’t die and leave us with Formula E That’s like being a meat eater and only having vegan food

This is lame. Soooo many restrictions and they still make about 400hp/l. Imagine if the engineers were let loose to work their magic. We would have engines that make 1200 hp or more like they used to in the 80s but very reliably since technology has come a long way. That's 750hp/l

I can't wait till these abominations will be abandoned. Make them full gas or full electric. They are too complicated for what ... 60% less gas in races? Because street cars consume as much as in the past but deliver more power and are shit reliable. The whole point was missed - less consumption of gas. They use these systems to make more power and more money for servicing their products.
