Was WWII Germany Responsible for the Fast and Furious?!

- While many people know that modern street racers occasionally like to use a little sauce to make their cars faster, only a few know that nitrous injection can be traced back to WWII Germany. With issues like inferior metallurgy and poor fuels, German engineers needed a quick way to make more power. So what did they come up with? Laughing gas. Or as they liked to call it: "The Ha-Ha Process."
We are very very sorry, but please don't blame this one on us as well.
No other human endeavor drives innovation like war does.

Thirst, you forgot thirst.
The modern era was mostly invented by 1946. Mankind peaked in 1969. Everything since is derivative.
@@LuciFeric137 I assume that you weren't born in 1969?
Grandad installed a home made water injection on his dodge pickup. He told stories of old farm tractors that had 2 carburetors...1 for gasoline , 1 for water.

Nos is an energy drink, NoS is a product base, “nitrous” or N2O is the preferred terms by anyone that used it before the idiot movies came out. Some writers saw three letters together and thought it was a word, leave it to Cali. to screw things up……..lol
I love this coverage of technology but I also love the way you handle war-era Germany. In a world where it seems as though %97 dismiss them as cartoon villains, and a rebellious %2 worship them as infallible gods, you are the refreshing %1 that treats them as (merely) fellow human beings. Thank you for that, the world needs peaceful respect so badly right now. It would be nice if in 100 years, the world will look back on our generation collaborating to make machines to reach the stars, rather then competing to kill one another.
Very well said friend.... unfortunately, very well said. =/
Callum Douglas's book have several topics that must be delivered to the general public. Great work!
The big advantage of nitrous oxide is that because it carries its own oxygen, it retains its full effect with ZERO loss thereof at high altitudes (theoretically an internal combustion engine running on nitrous oxide could function in SPACE). This is especially useful on planes specialized for high altitudes, as the nitrous replenishes power loss at high altitudes. In fact, I even calculated and extrapolated that (based on a test of a Bf 109G-1 that, with GM-1 nitrous oxide reached 680 km/h @12000m and a ceiling of 13800m), with proper development, a Bf 109K with cockpit pressurization, a DB605ASC/DC (or even DB605L with 2 stage supercharger), and GM-1 (albeit no MW-50) would be able to reach 15-16000m altitude (17-18000m with DB605L) and fly at speeds of well over 700 km/h at those altitudes (a Bf 109H with its longer wingspan would likely be able to fly EVEN HIGHER). Similarly, a P-51 or Spitfire with nitrous oxide would likely not only be able to reach speeds of over 700 km/h at high altitudes, but likely even be able to keep up with Me 262s and Ta 152s at over 10000m altitude.
Calum Dougleas' The Great Horsepower Race. Nuff said. This is a seminal book on the subject.
really enjoyed this :3
The 1962 Olds Jetfire had a V8 with a turbo charger and methanol:water injection from the factory.
its funny that both the GM-1 and the MW50 found itself into motorsports one way or another, meth injection is also used a lot in drag racing alongside NOS.
And, can we forget Oldsmobile in the early 1960s releasing their turbocharged aluminum V-8, factory- equipped with MW-50 "turbofire fluid"?
Did German fighters have Danger to Manifold issues?
Now that was a fast and furious/fantastic report!! DO IT AGAIN.
Part 3, please.
I read that GM-1 wasnt so much liked by germans, bc the GM-1 installation weights alot and most of the flytime it is deadweight your fighter had to carry during climb and flight and it shortens the engines service life but in Combat situtations it gave them a good Powerboost for a short time
Please don't think that automotive grade nitrous is safe to huff like what you get from the dentist. And NOS is a manufacturer of nitrous kits, it literally stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems. Only people that haven't ever run it on their vehicle before call it NAWS.
From what I was told the auto stuff has some thing like sulphur in it. Can't remember exactly as it was the same weekend we went through a bottle at a rave. Probably the safest thing to ingest to get high there
@@BrickNewton Yeah auto grade nitrous isn't safe for human consumption.
Hey Mister, watch it with the crack about the friend who runs Premium in her 'old' '67 Galaxy 500! (4door no less.) 😀
High School, her dad went and bought her and her Sis a, as he put it, nice suburban car. It was actually a sleeper. This was around 1976. The dude he bought it from told him to run premium.
The first time I got to drive it the tires broke loose.
What da?....
Finally inspiration, pop the hood. WHOA.

I asked her Dad if me & my buddy could take it bracket racing some time. Answer was a rather soft spoken "I don't think so." 😅
No NoS, but then I have too many stories of dumb a$$ acquaintances blowing up perfectly good engines using NoS.
WW2 innovates everything
60 seconds is the life expectancy of a aircraft engine on nitrous. So it’s only used in a last resort to win or get that extra couple of hundred feet of vertical during a maneuver

Ah the days of smoking pibe at the drawing table

Great results, even greater taxation on your engine's life.
Well tuned or not . . . you will pay for that performance boost, sooner or later.
Honestly thought this would be a joke video until I saw the channel
This video is pretty fun and interesting. But ngl I thought this video would do quite well with the algorithm but apparently it disagrees
Man I thought this was a docudubery video 💀
Knocking was caused by poor steel or fuel?
For the Germans in WW2 it was really both. Most of their aviation fuel was created from coal and was, compared to Allied fuel, a quite low octane limiting the amount of supercharger boost that the engines could withstand for more than a short period. They did have some higher octane fuel, but it was always in short supply and had to be reserved for when it was most needed. In addition if the 'good stuff' was stored for too long it would begin to deteriorate and become unusable. In addition, and to compound the fuel issue, there was a shortage of metals such as Nickel which were needed for the high temperature steel alloys used for exhaust valves. This led to a short life of these components, again especially if a lot of supercharger boost was used. The valves would erode and overheat promoting detonation (knock) The book 'The Secret Horsepower Race' by Callum Douglas has a great deal of information on the subject culled from original German WW2 documents and is well worth reading.
Go baby go button
get-R-done
👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸
i thought this was a docudubery video
And then, just about any gear head with NOS get killed by Tesla Plaid from any red light stop… 😂
So I lose 5-6 pulls, then u go sit in the parking lot charging for 40 minutes.
@@anareel4562 -- If you be keep doing 5-6 pulls, and treating public roads as a drag race, you'll be sitting in jail, not parking lot.
Scripts being fed to the AI are utter drivel these days.
Now that I see the nazi connection I realize why I hate fart can muffler boys so much.
Stop calling it NOS! Its nitrous or N2O. NOS is a company not a chemical.
Stop calling them kleenex! They’re disposable handkerchiefs. Gosh.
@@flightdojolmao
Stop calling it a Hoover instead of a vacuum cleaner, that just sucks!
(you Yanks might not know that one, more of a Commonwealth thing)
@@flightdojo How about "tissue"?
I'm with @nickholmer; calling it "noss" is as dumb as Paul Walker. Otherwise, absolutely love the channel.
No one calls NOS "naaas" Its just nitrous...
