I have a degree in aerospace engineering so there's nothing here that I don't already know, but these videos are still an absolute delight to watch. On top of that, the way you visualized the air molecules separating from each other underneath the wing is genius, and I've never seen it like that before. Bravo!
Andrew Slovak I’m an Aerospace Engineering student, I graduate next year. But I completely agree, this is all so simple, but I still love videos going over it all again.
@@Corndog4382 I want to get into aerospace engineering when I'm older do you have any resources where I can learn all this in more depth due to curiosity?
@@vitocipponeri6773 I might be a bit late, but I am an Aerospace student too. Feel free to ask me any question, also, I could send you a pdf of an aerodynamics textbook that we are using
You could be a lecturer/teacher, you’re brilliant at explaining things while keeping it entertaining. Keep up the fantastic content, this is my go-to place for Formula 1 content on RUclips :)
One major reason I like F1 is the science that goes behind it. The way you present everything here just makes everything even better!! Man I can't wait for the new season.
First of all, I'm excited for this aerodynamic series because F1's aerodynamic is one of the main thing that got me into watching F1. Second of all, I haven't finished watching this video yet, because you just explain the word "aerodynamic" as "aero" and "dynamic" it's a whole new word to me now.
ThefatGerbil "∴ Comment = Pointless waste of time" Yup, you were doing some funky shit with algebra near the end there. Early you implied that Aero + Hydro = Fluid, but then later you said Aero = Fluid and Hydro = Fluid, which would imply that Fluid ^ 2 = Fluid, which is nonsense.
As someone finishing up a semester studying aerodynamics, this is a really solid explanation of how airfoils function (as downforce is just upside-down lift)! It's always impressive when something complicated can be simplified down to a few minutes without resorting to partially true explanations.
The moment those particles separated I knew everything I'd been hoping to learn. Always hear about high pressure and low pressure but I simply could not visualise it. Wonderful, straightforward video thank you so much!
You should definitely start a channel for basics of physics.... Kudos dude... Great job..... You have explained the magnus effect, the swinging of a ball, how a plane flies and a whole lot of other stuff
I love physics and that's how I got here, but I've never watched F1 except maybe with the sound off at a sports bar. After watching a bunch of these videos, that may be changing soon.
I always wondered about the difference between high pressure and low pressure air flow over a wing. (As in generally, including aircraft wings). This visual made a ton more sense than any other explanation, so thanks !
I've been on RUclips forever, watching so many F1 videos... how is it possible that these great videos have not been recommended to me 1 time... ?! Thank you 3 years later!!
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen simplified for the average person but all the details are still there they haven’t been summed up into one thing and forgotten love this
I'm gonna be taking AeroSpace engineering next year in highschool so the fact that your covering this is really cool. from alot of what my friends told me this is what we will be covering in the first month. So thanks I guess!
WhatsUpGaming Good luck in your studies, I'm currently in my final year and yes a lot of this video will be covered in more detail over your first year
Incredebly well made video I love it! also love how you started editing your voice and audio. First Video I've seen by you was your tyre guide in 2016. You've come a long way since and I hope you grow even more :) much love from Germany
Fantastic video, I've just started my aerodynamics degree and whilst I understand this already, seeing it in such a simple way is brilliant. Definitely helped me think about how I'm going to move forward with my design. Bravo!
Wow. You get a standing ovations for this one. Exceptional communication and very easy to understand. I am an ME and will use this to guide some of the jr. engineers to understand aerodynamics better. Please keep doing what you do!
I have known about this topic but actually but the way you explain with the graphics makes me still want to keep watching this video . Keep your good work ! I'll always support you !
Those are the very same principles flight instructors teach to student pilots on how an airplane generates lift in flight school albeit the opposite wing orientation. Very well presented sir. Nice job.
I love your videos, very few people (in youtube) likes to talk about the science behind F1, I dont know maybe they find it a bit intimidating. Your content is PURE GOLD!
l can say . with out any imbelishing that l always loose interest very quickly when l listen to most people discussing technical matters The exception to this was my grade 11/12 law teacher and my best friend who is a teacher of mechanics working for G M in canada.And now l say to you for your choice of topics and your way of teaching,welcome to my group.Thank you for another excellent video.
after the new car regulations and the suffering from porposing i wanna know about all the effects on an f1 car , thanks for starting with thisbro, glad i started in the right direction
Great videos Chain Bear, I am really enjoying all the educational videos on how F1 works :) This has allowed me to enjoy F1 and racing even more then just watching cars go around tracks xD
Loved it. Can't thank you enough because I think its been a week that I commented in another video so that you make videos on aerodynamics, and here they are!
Bonus fact: Airplanes works the same way, except that the wings are in the opposite direction. Generating lift instead downforce. The physics are the same :)
Well, really the answer is that a wing upside down still produces lift, but it requires a higher angle of attack and is a bit less efficient if it's asymmetric. Generally it'd be pretty difficult to fly a highly cambered airfoil upside down, but a symmetric or nearly symmetric airfoil will fly similarly either way.
Love the video's , it's great having someone with great knowledge explain things in such detail. Would you (or anyone else) be interested in joining a discord group where we discuss the technical side of F1 ? With testing just days away, there will be plenty to discuss and share. Keep up the great work!
Does this mean that when air is accelerated under the wing creating a lower pressure zone creating downforce and air being pushed upward by the wing are two different processes that both happen to create downforce?
Fantastic video. Brilliant explanation. I already knew the basic concepts, but this in depth explanation made me understand several things I never thought about.
I like the way u explain these things. I just had a big project in my school on myself. I made it about F1 Aerodynamics so i have some good knowledge over these things and i think u described it very well.
The whole continuity principle it’s always been a mystery for me. It makes perfect sense in a closed tube but then you see it explained on open flow fluids. I remember there’s an experiment on RUclips where it can be seen that the air going above and below the wing don’t get to the end of it at the same time hence continuity doesn’t apply. But does the air still accelerates on the button of the wing? By the way, it’s an amazing video and I’m looking g forward for the rest of the series. BR
Turn your phone upside down and you’ll understand how a plane fly lollll. You doing really great. Really appreciate all your interesting explanations....keep it up!
Very impressive explanation. In 1969 wings were banned by the Monaco GP organizers. It was thought that they would be banned for the other races as well. Many people thought that wings didn't belong on cars. I hope you will eventually get into explaining the disadvantages of wings (lift when going backwards, non-linearity of downforce with speed, etc) and alternatives.
Oh man, just stumbled on your vid via reddit. Perfect for a F1 fan who cba'd all this time to dive into the aerodynamics:) and now i see your "F1 Engine proposals 2021 Explored" vid... earned you a sub:)
One thing i notice in this video is how many questions im asking myself : p jk and thank you immensely for these brilliant videos, I have been getting into f1 car models and now I am just extremely curious as to everything regarding the shapes, designs, reasonings behind all the pieces of an f1 car. Thank you.

and for boats it's hydrodynamic. MIND=BLOWN
For boats it's both, so DOUBLE mindblown!
Thermodynamics *boom headshot*
Aerodynamics + Hydrodynamics = Fluid dynamics
∴ Aerodynamics + Hydrodynamics - dynamics = Fluid
(Aero + Hydro - 1)dynamics = Fluid
Dynamics = Fluid/(Aero + Hydro - 1)
Since: Aero = Air = Fluid
Since: Hydro = Water = Fluid
⤷ Fluid/(Aero + Hydro - 1) = Fluid/(Fluid + Fluid - 1)
∴ Dynamics = Fluid/(2Fluid - 1)
Since: Dynamics = Movement
⤷ Movement = Fluid/(2Fluid - 1)
∴ Comment = Pointless waste of time
ThefatGerbil "∴ Comment = Pointless waste of time" Yup, you were doing some funky shit with algebra near the end there. Early you implied that Aero + Hydro = Fluid, but then later you said Aero = Fluid and Hydro = Fluid, which would imply that Fluid ^ 2 = Fluid, which is nonsense.

Best F1 channel on youtube by miles. Love the videos.
“It is a bit of a physics lesson but brought I a ballon! So it’s fun”
Ford galaxie Fan club! Hahahahahaha xD
He wasn't wrong
Am I the only one who inhaled air and blew it out at 4:07 ? :D
No i did it too😂
It did it too
Apfelmus000 that depends on exit lol.
Nope, I did it too

Great finishing music! Portal fan?
Couldn't myself help singing along with the music, and now I cannot get the song out of my head. Plz send help.
Stopped paying attention as soon as it started playing ;_;

I already had a basic idea on how airflow works, but you showed it in ways I never thought before. Thank you!
I got a bachelor degree in automobile engineering and still I found this video to be immensly interesting for myself, keep this up!
"Still alive" at the end makes this an A++ Video :D
This is incredible! You know WAY more about aerodynamics than my year 11 physics teacher. Wanna come teach us physics?
Yeah, an 11-year old should know more about it
I love physics and that's how I got here, but I've never watched F1 except maybe with the sound off at a sports bar. After watching a bunch of these videos, that may be changing soon.
Brett Cooper if you like physics you will love F1
Wow f1 need to hire you! So informative and easy to understand! Well done 😁👍
Wait a minute, that outro music is a version of Still Alive from Portal! Well played mate, science is always fun on this channel.
I knew I had heard that music somewhere, but couldn't quite tell where, thanks

As an aerospace engineer , this was accurate yet simple and fun. thumbs up
I wanna be a race engineer so I feel like watching these videos give me way more understanding! And they're enjoyable!
Thanks stuart
First time somebody made this science easy n fun.
I've learned more from this video than physics class in school.
Same
So true, i might show my physics teacher this video for people in lower classes who have trouble with this :P
Incredebly well made video I love it! also love how you started editing your voice and audio. First Video I've seen by you was your tyre guide in 2016. You've come a long way since and I hope you grow even more :) much love from Germany
Great explanation mate!
I understand more about aerodynamics from this video than from watching f1 experts discussing it. Keep up the excellent work.
I'm a newly-minted F1 fan.
This explains so much of what I've heard mentioned by the commentators.
Because of this aerodynamics i love f1
This is the best explanation of lift / downforce on the internet.
I had seen plenty of explanations of mechanisms for rear spoiler working. Hands down! Yours explanation is the simplest, and most easy to grasp.
Wow didn't know how many patreons we are atm
greetings to you all and thanks Stuart!
Greetings from r/formula1! Keep up the good work.
Ferrator best subreddit :)
Best F1 channel, always worth the watch

great video as always, may actually go into this seasons F1 knowing what everyone is going on about after watching all your videos!
Chain Bear, your videos are AWESOME. So easy to understand and follow and yet teaching things that are so very interesting. Thanks man!
A+ video

Loved it. Can't thank you enough because I think its been a week that I commented in another video so that you make videos on aerodynamics, and here they are!
you know when you decide to hang it up on RUclips an aerodynamicist professor should be considered lol
Loving the portal music at the end.
F1 cars AND balloons? You sure know your stuff!
Seriously though, love your videos.
The content is getting richer by every video !
I love F1, but you brought my interest to an entirely new level. Thanks a mil!
Bonus fact: Airplanes works the same way, except that the wings are in the opposite direction. Generating lift instead downforce. The physics are the same :)
Javier Tan bonus question: if thats the way lift works then how can airplanes fly upside down?
They can counter steer with the horizontal stabilizer at the end of the plane
Well, really the answer is that a wing upside down still produces lift, but it requires a higher angle of attack and is a bit less efficient if it's asymmetric. Generally it'd be pretty difficult to fly a highly cambered airfoil upside down, but a symmetric or nearly symmetric airfoil will fly similarly either way.

Bernoulli's principle states that as the velocity of the fluid increases pressure decreases. Beautiful video by the way!!
At last! Someone explains pressure properly including temperature!
Bro you are the best teacher ever 🙌
Best explanation of f1 aero I've seen. and I've seen a lot. looking forward to the series!
A physics video is just what I need to relax after two hours of homework.
Very awesome video. Clearly explained, and well done. Thank you.
If only I had some spare money to support you ;-;
Just getting to better understand these basics makes the whole sport so much more fascinating...as they say..."There's a lot going on"
Like the portal music at the end!
Its 2021 but still the best video that explained well about aerodynamic :)
Does this mean that when air is accelerated under the wing creating a lower pressure zone creating downforce and air being pushed upward by the wing are two different processes that both happen to create downforce?
You are a really nice teacher I have to admit
I'm stunned. This is AMAZING. Top shelf work man. Congrats. I can't wait for part 2.
Helping me for my fluid mechanics exam this Friday :D
I am not into F1 races yet I'm watching
Duuuuude give it a shot! The season starts later in march, so why not check out the opener?
I encourage everyone to watch Formula One because it truly is the Pinnacle of auto racing!
I will give it a shot, thanks for the advice guys
Fantastic video. Brilliant explanation. I already knew the basic concepts, but this in depth explanation made me understand several things I never thought about.
You're a good teacher mate.

Turn your phone upside down and you’ll understand how a plane fly lollll. You doing really great. Really appreciate all your interesting explanations....keep it up!
0:44 but I brought a balloon so it's fun
Lol XD
