    Everybody knows that cars are about horsepower and torque! But what does that even mean? What is Horsepower? What is Torque? We get into the nitty gritty of force- talkin’ ‘bout Torque and ft. lbs., and we build up to the triumphant power we measure with horses. It's Horsepower! ...did I need to say horsepower? We explore the relationship between horsepower and torque. You’ll find out what all those dyno numbers mean, and why diesel engines can make a bunch of torque, but not always as much horsepower as gas engines. It’s FORCE! It’s POWER! It’s HORSES! It’s SCIENCE GARAGE!
    Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

    Great video!
    I'm a french Engineer, and a scientist (a real one). Trying to find videos as an answer to friends, i've looked at a lots of youtube videos explaining torque vs horsepower: they where all wrong and full of mistakes. Most of them where made by people that obviously didn't understand the difference, and that actually only spoke of torque and gearbox (torque converters).
    Your video is the first one i find that finally tells the truth, about "work" and about time, and that tries to explains what it really means. Well, i was expected the last step that would include energy in the explanation, but your video is already great.

      @@jonmiller6633 For modern Renault, i can only agree, but not sure a significant part of them are still "invented" in france by real french engineer. If you want to see something really french-made, you may rather look at Ariane-4 space program. And the 5 is junk because it was made with america. (By the way, in the years 1960 and 1970, renault cars where "ok", and very reliable, because "invented" by real french engineers.) (Ugly but reliable). Anyway, my car is of curse 100% japanese :-p. Planned obsolescence or even programmed failure is the new rule with french cars, and these planned failures are often precisely designed. At the same time as my engineering school, i also graduated from an (english-style) business school. They taught us Planned Failure, in a topic called "quality management", and in a very specious way: they spent a huge part of this topic warning us against what they called the "over-quality" mistake.
      As for american people, they have a "blur", fuzzy, imprecise way of talking. In this video, when he says "force", in that sentence, it's in the "muscular" way american people use that word, same as actively forcing with your muscles, actually meaning "using energy", or in the end, "power". And yes, this way of talking is confusing when you already know what this is all about. As a scientist, of curse, it's not possible to mistake power for force. But that's not helping ordinary people to see how this "gets real" in a car. And no, just writing a formula does not mean you understand why physics works.

Best is to go until the third page, you'll find whatever you're looking for within the first 3 pages. Anything beyond and your lurking into the dark web.

      @PistonAvatarGuy 6 лет назад +17

      Except that he gets all kinds of things wrong. 1) Stroke has no effect on torque. On the power stroke, the peak torque at the halfway point of the stroke might be higher, but the average torque will be the same, because more torque is being transferred to the crankshaft during other parts of the power stroke (near TDC and BDC). 2) Work is just when you move something through the application of force, it doesn't describe the rate at which it is moved. Power describes the rate of work. 3) Inertia dynos measure power directly and then calculate torque from the power curve. They can do this because they're measuring how quickly the engine is accelerating a flywheel. They're measuring the rate of work, in other words. 4) Diesels don't make more torque than gasoline engines unless they're boosted higher. Compare the Mercedes OM604 engines to the Honda F20A or F20B engines, or the naturally aspirated Detroit 6.2 or 6.5 diesel to the GM 350, or the LS1. 5) Diesel revs are limited because diesel fuel burns so much more slowly than gasoline, the piston starts moving faster than the flame front at high rpm.

      Power = how fast it can do that work.

    Gotta made a small correction:
    Work is force over distance at an angle (W = Fdsin(theta). As an example, this means that no matter how hard you push a wall with your hands, if it's not moving then no work is being done.
    Power is work over time so more powerful engines will do more work in the same time.
    Torque is all good, I would just maybe note that just like with work, the angle of the force matters so the formula is t - Frsin(theta)

    • @DeepSpaceDubs
      @DeepSpaceDubs 5 лет назад +9

      I think it's worth noting that torque is a rotational force not a measurement of potential work. Work is Force x Distance, where the distance in the case of a vehicle could be any amount of ground you would like to cover at any given time. Another way to understand the idea of torque is that on a given wheel/shaft, to prevent the engine from moving the shaft/crank, you would have to apply X lbs of force on a 1 foot lever attached to the center of the shaft/crank. A 100 lb/ft engine can move a 3000 lb car easily, but that's just because all it has to overcome is inertia and friction etc. So yes in a way torque is a potential load however in vehicles it is not a direct translation to payload weight and it is not a potential for work because the distance is always subject to change. Horsepower is how fast you can do the work required to get from point A to point B. This is my understanding as of 5 minutes ago, so I could be wrong.

    Your very last animation has cleared the confusion between horse power and torque !

    Can i get more torque by adding blinker fluid to my pistons and my crankshaft?

    • @jesusarreola9084

      You might want to get some high voltage blinker fluid so it spreads fast over your fuel injector bearings allowing for more horse power and torque.

      no, but new muffler bearings will help a lot.

      Just slap a new cold air intake from auto zone and you’ll gain 200hp

      Got a small hole in the top of a tail light at work once, then it rained. The tail light was full of water in the morning, so I told the guys I needed to drain my blinker fluid. They were all laughing when I told them I was serious. Then I drilled a new hole at the bottom of the blinker, and the water began shooting out. They all lost it.
