So they told you how a combustion engine works, Wow! Like there's not a million video already explaining this. How about showing how you get to around 60% thermal efficiency,
@@alvarokoteli8904 Humble brag; happen to know the staff there. The majority are British; there are plenty of other countries involved - France, German, Spain, South Africa, Italian, had a Dutch intern a couple of years back. The staff may live in Britain, but they're not all British.
@@berkantkosar9374 they are by far the worst engine on the grid. Ferrari have the best Mercedes are 2nd Honda is 3rd That leaves Renault as last, in terms of power and reliability
great insights! For those who are keen on some clarifications:- 7:40 engine performance curve and shift points 8:40 what is 'D-rating', accompanied by a really easy to understand circuit layout 10:28 Party-mode! or AMG Turbo mode, or Strat 2 mode 11:20 What is the difference between Strat and HPP modes
Pistons and cranks can be explained by thinking of a pushbike: your knees (pistons) move up and down, and are connected to your shins (Conrod). These push on the pedals, which are connected to a crank. It's the same principle of turning reciprocating linear motion into rotary motion. As one leg pushes down, the other is returned to the top of the stroke
Saving that camera money for more testing. These people don't compromise nothing the engineers all sell one of their kidneys for funding. You don't even want to know what non vital organs the drivers have to shed for weight loss. If you want to be the best this is what it takes.
I am 13 and am studying in 9th grade I want to get into car designing but dont know which college would work best for me Edit: With these videos explaining the various components of the cars you guys have earned yourself one more fan
Would be glad to give you some guidance on schools to look for and what to study. Definitely look into FSAE. Most formula 1 Engineers have participated in this event and I have also. It is a huge advantage. If you in 9th grade the foundation of everything you are going to learn (As an Engineer) is based on math and calculus. seemingly difficult at first but if you have it on lock every other concept comes easy. One of my youtube videos also shows me designing an RC car part and that could give you an idea of what you may want to do. If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me a message.
Very interesting and insightful, but there’s 1 thing I miss from the older engines......, the roaring sound, which I know on road cars mainly comes from the design of the exhaust system, but in F1 it’s the exhaust and engine
As always... LOVE the detail you guys are providing. So many times watching the racing, I’ve asked myself these questions. Really really appreciate these videos! 👏🏼👍🏼
Like a kid, I loved the pictures. Two take-a-ways: We've got a lot to thank Petronas for. Also, what a huge commitment it must be to take on a new customer team. Last year, there were four different engine makes in the top four finishing teams. Whoever made the crucial decisions that kept all four of them involved in F1, did a real service to the sport.
Currently I'm 3rd grade mechanical engineering student, and everytime after watching that kind of videos I realize studying mechanical engineering is the most accurate choice I have ever made! Thanks for clear, simplified explanation. I'm sure this video encourage people to study engineering.
This is a FANTASTIC explanation of engine power delivery. 10/10 for Layman explanation. I'm tired of you being so good, but it's more a disappointment that everyone else clearly isn't playing on your level.
Every time he asked a simple question I thought why ask that. Then every time the guy answered I thought ah he is adding quite a bit of subtle detail. Really interesting.
Also props for the guy asking the right questions and also in a good order. even for "advanced" fans with good knowledge the detail of the questions and obviously awnsers is aweseome :D
I love these videos series where you guys show different parts of a F1 car and in simple language. I am doing Mechanical Engineer but have a deep interest in knowing more about it,but unfortunately I don't know any college which teaches specifically about F1. But never mind you guys are doing a good job both off and on the track.
denzyl casuela "i thought power is work not torque." He misspoke at 6:30. "Torque is the work done." Torque is the rotational analogue of force. Work is defined as a force acting through a distance (in the same direction) W=F×d or torque acting through a rotational distance (measured in radians) Power is work done per unit time. He knows this. He simply misspoke during a very informal and entertaining talk.
That Ford Fiesta wheel in the background behind the interviewer 👀 anyway great insight Mercedes, awesome that you guys take the time off to educate us fans!
When he said -"I know there's going to be a burning question on the lips of all the fans"- I was thinking -"how much power how much power how much power". I was dissapointed
I feel myself back in a class called Internal Combustion Engines when I was studying mechanical engineering in university. There not much more then that in this video but ok thanks mercedes-amg.
@Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team A question I had from the derating portion of the video(8:39) is how does the vehicle know where it is on the track? Probably a transponder system with transmitters every few meters throughout the track for all the teams to use?
Probably has GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) with Real Time Kinematics (RTK) for improved accuracy, and six axis Inertial Measurement Unit for Inertial Navigation as a backup. So survey grade position data will allow the engine management by map. Not an ignition map, a spatial map.
Great job, but the audio quality could be substantially improved. Too much echo from small room. Hanging a couple small country/team flags in the corners would really help the acoustics.
They may be going to 4 cylinder, in line engines in the future. Offenhauser engines had 4 cylinders, 5 main bearings, geared camshaft drive, dual overhead cam, 2 intake, and 2 exhaust valves per cylinder. Not much that's unusual there. But the head and cylinder block were cast in one piece so there was no head gasket to blow out. Supercharger pressures could be cranked way up. They were never allowed to run in any races using every bit of power they could deliver. Race rules always kept them restricted. They were the most successful racing engines for decades, and only stopped being used when racing rules reduced their turbo pressure which made them uncompetitive against V8's, such as the much newer Cosworth. The Offenhauser design of head and block in one piece forces mechanics to remove the block/head to change valves and/or pistons. But that isn't as much of an increase in labor as one might suspect seeing that there is only the one bank of cylinders, and the valve train is geared, so it comes right off with the block. Large displacement 4 cylinder engines have an amazing sound.
I was told by a Vietnam Vet once that when they were told to set their machine guns from Semi Auto to full Auto they set it to "Rock and Roll"..... When I hear the F1 teams say they have set their cars to "party mode"I always think that they have set it to "Rock and Roll"
Brilliant bit that discusses knocking and that you're deliberately accepting it in strat 2. That explains a great deal, why strat 2 is actually so harmful to the engine and drivers are allowed only a counted number of laps in it. Thx! :-)
I am learning these concepts in my engineering classes, its very exciting to see them applied in the real world and not just on a piece of homework paper! does anyone know how they manage to keep the car from melting with all the heat? I know how the cooling works in a regular car but i can imagine an F1 car will need an extra bit of help with cooling because of all the heat.
Excellent. When we get familiar with technical aspects any race becomes a hitchcockian experience: we wonder if the 4 elephants will hold under a temperature which is half that of the sun...
Btw I wonder why don't you use MGU-K in corner you can precisely control it without loosing traction...hope it does not violates traction control rule. BTW Love from India! Keep making these videos!
Brilliant! I'm always amazed at the power my 2 liter, 4 cylinder engine powered E300 can muster in acceleration. ...and still achieve great mpg! This explains it. Mercedes Benz for the win!
Question(s) regarding camshafts. Do regulations allow for non-camshaft designs? If yes, what system do you (or most teams) use? If no, is this something you'd like to see changed? And would there be an efficiency/performance benefit to going a pneumatic valve or alternative route?
Mustang As far as I am aware they‘re already using pneumatic valve timing. If I remember correctly this was a big point during the presentation of their street legal hypercar, which is using this system as Koenigsegg etc. is doing already.
Great credit to Mercedes for taking time to do this. And the UK government needs to take note of the British voices and locations and not take anything for granted. Plus a shout out to Petronas - from Malaysia - a predominantly Muslim nation - yet one of the two employees shown was a lady. Great to see.
6 consecutive constructors champions & still have the time to educate the general public on the inner workings of F1. Wow.
The factory is currently closed
Well they're not currently working so...
We are working now. The engine factories reopened at the start of the week for F1 activity.

The way he explained power and torque was amazing.i think that's the difference when you learn from the best in the world.keep more of these coming👍👍👍
@ : i was told: power is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far the wall travels after you hit it!

this is not the usual social media stuff, this is basically a lecture in engineering for non-engineers. and i love it! ^^
I feel like Ive learned more about engines in those 20 mins than my life until now. Awesome thanks!
Exquisitely excellent feature! Induction stroke, prepared mixture combustion stroke explanation eloquently conducted!
I love this series. Please make new content about electrical instruments (ECU, sensors, electrical diagram,etc). Thank you mercedes.

Makes you understand and appreciate the effort you guys at Mercedes put in to achieving and surpassing the teams engineering goals
Imagine being so far ahead of your rivals that you can just straight up tell them how to make their engines better.

Ya, the 4 year old version... if you think these videos are not highly scrutinized before being released, your not giving them enough credit.
