But it is not designed to crumble because of the whole you will win in a confrontation with another vehicle thing, so the might be amzing potential, but it is not really Happening
@@jasperfromming6633 Crumple zones exist for a reason. They absorb energy and reduce the acceleration experienced by the passengers. An extremely rigid car will cause serious internal injuries in a collision with a rigid and immovable object. The high mass might be benefitial for its passengers in a collision with a lighter car, but dramatically increase the risk for passengers in the other car. The concept is flawed, if every manufacturer built cars the same way traffic casualties would skyrocket.
+StephanDRX yeah, no. because there's no engine in the back either in the tesla, so there's less weight moving around and therefor less energy to dissipate. most of the weight of that car goes into the batteries, and those are low down under the floor. but i guess mid and rear engined cars are a bit safer in a frontal collision.
Jason Slade Are you freaking kidding me dude? getting hit in the drivers side door is THE worst place to get hit in a car accident. That's why we have tools made by a company called hurst, not only do they make cool shifters and race car parts, they also make the rescue tools that firefighters and emt's use to extract you from those same vehicles. Do a youtube search for vehicle crash side extraction if you want to see why you don't want to get hit on the side. There is so much metal in front of you that can crumple and collapse in a front collision, in a side crash, you have some 18 guage sheet metal that will usually crumple up like a tin can, your only saving grace is usually the A and B pillars, but the impacting vehicle usually severely bends your door inwards and goes between them which collapses the survival space you have in the passenger compartment.
+Peter “Crackpot Pete” Carlson Way to take his comment completely out of context. He never said it was better, he said there is less force in the impact. This is because when you crash head on, you're velocities are additive, as if you're going twice as fast and hit a wall. however, if you get hit from the side, your velocity doesn't matter, it's just the car who hit you.
+Martin Brochu We could do a little bit better -- up to 50% of the fuel energy could be converted to kinetic energy -- but that would require removing a lot of safety features and it would probably destroy the engine pretty quickly. So it may be inefficient, but it's a lot less wasteful than you might think.
+Martin Brochu Now compare them to electric motors, which all have an efficientcy above 90%, some of which going up to _friggin 99.7%_!!!! Problem is, you need batteries, which have - at most - an efficency of about 60%. If we would be able to improve batteries, someday it will be more efficient to burn the fossil fuel in a powerplant (where much more efficiency can be achived than in a car...) and then power electric cars with it... only those damn batteries....
+Martin Brochu And you know what? They're extremely efficient in terms of directly converting fuel into work, especially if you add a turbocharger and harvest energy from the exhaust.
Your last point is excellent. A dent or crease in the wrong place can dramatically reduce the yield strength of that component, thus reducing it's ability to absorb that crash energy.
Another technique is that the engine is designed to be deflected down under the safety cell. This is good for 2 reasons. The first is that the engine is pretty solid and can't be compressed. The second is that the engine is heavy but by deflecting it down under the car it doesn't have to decelerate gently and the crumple zones don't need to worry about absorbing all that energy. Let the engine hit the tree and come to a dead stop while the car is "gently" decelerated by the crumpling above it.
If I understand you correctly, although dings and dents might be aesthetically unpleasant, it's important to get them repaired anyway, because some of the part's energy absorbing (crushing) ability has been removed from the part, thus compromising its ability to absorb energy through crushing in subsequent collisions.
I love watching your videos and while working on my driving school, this video showed up and made my class so much better! Keep up the amazing content ❤❤❤
A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
+Gytax0 And which company did you say you worked for? "The one that sponsored this video." PS: It wasn't the rear diff locking up, during rear-end collisions the bolts sticking out of it would puncture the fuel tank. Hence the fires. (This was a real thing that happened.)
You should have added the purpose of airbags, which are also designed to decelerate your body vs the car. What is often mistakenly assumed is that airbags are soft cushions that hit your face, but if that were the case, they would shred apart from the explosion and your face would be hit by a huge amount of shrapnel from the airbag's micro-explosion. Instead, airbags are actually made of a material that is similar to a basketball so that they could withstand the pressure of the sudden inflation, and when they hit you in the face, it really feels like a basketball thrown right into your nose.
This helped dispel the myth that older cars (being an older guy I remember those old "solid" cars) are safer than the newer, lighter vehicles. Sharing this!
Ah very informative. It is astonishing to know what level of engineering and Physics goes into making cars and other machines of our daily lives. Thanks for such a nice video.
You can't have a toaster in "power cycle" continuously. (Unless maybe you deliberately short over the thermal sensing part of the circuit to burn an open in the NiChrome wire heating element rather quickly)
When I asked a friend of mine, who is a firefighter, abour car crashes, he told me about an observation he did. More accidents with low speed cars (like 30-40 km/h) were fatal for the driver in relation to accidents with arround double the speed. Our explanation was that the engineblock gets crushed at arround 70 km/h but is pushed into the driving compartment when on lower speed consequently killing the driver. Needless to say that there is an upper Border of speed to make this work, since there is only so kuch energy the engineblock can take until it is completly crushed.
I wish he would've talked more about how speed and such affect accidents, and perhaps also make a "Drive Safely" PSA. I think more people would listen to Henry about the dangers of driving than the Secretary of State.
Crashed my car a couple months ago going about 70 km/hr, the car was totaled and I barely got a scratch on my elbow that didn't even leave a mark. Cars are absolutely safer nowdays
Great video, but I also really wanted to learn about head on collisions, like the transfer of energy involved and the different forces during the crash
You're drivin' along, you're drivin' along, the kids start shouting from the back seat, "I gotta go to the bathroom, Daddy!" "Not now, damn it!" Truck tire. AHHHH, I CAN'T STOP!
Awsome video, but you should have also discussed the designed give of a seat belt. And the awesome speeds of the airbags. Ive been in a car crash before, t wasn't fun.
I need to send my parents this video lol. They still complain that cars nowadays are made out of outsourced garbage because they crumple and the old ones were so strong because they were made of steel. Man steel ain’t gonna absorb any of the impact 😂
+crasowl It's called dislike bots, RUclips 's full of them, their programmed to instantly dislike a video has soon has it is uploaded. Why would anyone install such a thing on their computer however is beyond me...
1 liter of gasoline does not weight 1 kilogram, it's something around 0.75 kg, and the energy from 1 liter of gasoline burning is around 32 MJ on average
I'm a car modder, but not like scraping the pavement and loud exhaust on a small Japanese car haha. My current project is making a 83 vw to be the most crash resistant. I'm trying to find a blend between avoiding permanent damage to the vehicle and absorbing impact. The read bumper mounts which are normally designed to crush have a large coil spring to help reduce permanent damage while the fronts have a fault zone at a cheap, easy to replace and easy to crush bracket that cost $4 to make/replace per side. My goal is to be able to get in an accident rear ending a car at 20mph then to be rear ended at 20mph and to only have the two front bracket to replace. Of course in testing it out on a large tree and not on the freeway haha
Since you were talking about organ difsormations, and wounds, maybe you could try to make a serie of videos about imaging techniques, as these imply a lots of physics, and most people barely understand the whereabouts of MRI (uh, you go in a big magnet and boom, pictures), PET-scan (with a dog? a cat?), and other techniques. It could give people more insight about the pro's and con's of each technique, and maybe allow them to have an idea of what they undergo when they go to the hospital. (maybe even for medical doctors. I once had an inspector of health security coming to a lab, asking to put a radioactive label near some stocks of D2O, 13C-glucose, 15N, 18O and so on)
Dear Henry, what is a charge? Often we talk about subatomic particles having a positive or a negative charge (or no charge at all). But what exactly IS a charge and what's the difference between positive, negative, and neutral particles.
Many people believe that if you crash head to head with another car, both cars having the same speed, is like cashing straight into a wall with double the speed. My driving instructor told me that during my driving lessons and we pretty much argue because I was saying that it doesn't matter if you crash into another car (of the same mass) or into a brick wall. But how do we prove this? I justify this to myself like this: 1) in the first situation, the energy equals the kinetic energy of the 1st car plus the kinetic energy of the second (which is the same, because of the same speed the cars have). Now after the crash the energy has to stay the same as before the crash. So the two cars after the crash actually exchange energy, that is why both cars get crumbled. 2) In the second situation, the energy equals only to the kinetic energy of the car (as the wall doesn't move => no kinetic energy). So, just like the first situation, the energy has to be the same before and after the crash. when the car crashes into the wall and provided the wall doesn't get destroyed, the energy gets mirrored back to the car. If the car crashes into the wall with double the speed the energy that is returned to it would be 4 times more, so the damage to the car would be way even bigger.
HAHA funny how the thumbnail is a car running into a tree and talking about car Physics like paul walking hitting a tree he's the expert :') #WATCHOUTFORTHATTREE!
DO The Physics of Skyding : like the energy from the speed of free fall and deceleration from the parachute opening and maybe more. that would be awsome !
Nice video! It would be also interesting to have one about speed, related to traffic safety. About the reaction of a human body when hit by a car, the importance to drive and to transit safely.
+StoneyWagner Also,"I was able to talk to an awesome crash test safety engineer there who told me all about the complex physics and engineering that goes into vehicle development and improving how cars performing the crash."
It would be cool if you added this: How fast the car needs to be to a wheel come out when it crashes? Or a version about motorcycles. Or, Physics of Plane Crashes, and other things related to vehicles. I think i should commented in newer videos
I'm a Quality Engineer in the electronics industry. Trust me. Sudden stops are no better for robots than they are for humans, particularly since the advent of lead free solders. Ever wonder why your iPhone breaks when you drop it on the side walk? Same concept.
@0:08 1L Gasoline isn't eqaul to 1kg TNT in anyway. a) Liter is an unit of volume (equal to 1 cubic decimetre) b) Gram is an unit of mass TNT and Gasoline do NOT have the density* of 1, so the comparison makes no sense. (*density is mass (kg) per unit volume (L))
+Subjaeger i am pretty sure you don't understand what he is saying, he is talking about the energy that is release by those two things, what you are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with what he said.

Crunchiness is something that good cars and good candy bars have in common.

"Cars are carefully designed to crumple when they crash."
I guess the Cybertruck designers missed this part.
there’s like a good 1-2 feet of crumple, and there being no engine makes that do a lot more than you’d think
But it is not designed to crumble because of the whole you will win in a confrontation with another vehicle thing, so the might be amzing potential, but it is not really Happening

this is why the tesla model S has such a good safety rating. with no engine in the way, the entire front section is a huge crumple zone

+KinRedysko A side-crash only has about half of the impact of a head-on collision so they're overall less dangerous.

Nice video! It would be also interesting to have one about speed, related to traffic safety. About the reaction of a human body when hit by a car, the importance to drive and to transit safely.
You know, I feel so smart when watching your videos and pretending that I understand what you are talking about
i am a crash investigator. that was an awesome video. just like all of them. YEA science
please tell us also , all the physics behind car crashing that they told you!!
"lose 80% to heat"
mercedes amg: hold my f1 engine
20 milliseconds into the crash:
Speed of your front bumper 0 kph
Speed of your rear bumper 60 kph.
Have fun.
Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly getting stationary, that's what get you.
These videos are the only ones where auto-generated captions work correctly
+Kevin Pham "Gasoline has 56 mega *jewels* of chemical energy per liter"
Don't think so, buddy.
+StoneyWagner read it alound and you get the same thing ;)
+StoneyWagner Also,"I was able to talk to an awesome crash test safety engineer there who told me all about the complex physics and engineering that goes into vehicle development and improving how cars performing the crash."
Wow. That was a fast 10,000 views.
It would be cool if you added this: How fast the car needs to be to a wheel come out when it crashes? Or a version about motorcycles.
Or, Physics of Plane Crashes, and other things related to vehicles.
I think i should commented in newer videos
Very interesting!
Good video!!
I'm a Quality Engineer in the electronics industry. Trust me. Sudden stops are no better for robots than they are for humans, particularly since the advent of lead free solders. Ever wonder why your iPhone breaks when you drop it on the side walk? Same concept.
Dear +MinutePhysics, any chance you could make an episode on Lagiewka Bumper?
Whoa. You were sponsored by Ford? :D
@0:08 1L Gasoline isn't eqaul to 1kg TNT in anyway.
a) Liter is an unit of volume (equal to 1 cubic decimetre)
b) Gram is an unit of mass
TNT and Gasoline do NOT have the density* of 1, so the comparison makes no sense.
(*density is mass (kg) per unit volume (L))
In terms of volume, it's equal. 1ml = 1cm2 = 1gram. Just change the unit 1L=1M 2(squared) = 1 kg
+TLK Dragon wow... no. just no. "1M 2(squared) = 1 kg" This is sooo wrong, that you must be a troll.
+TLK Dragon
We are not talking about water.
+Subjaeger i am pretty sure you don't understand what he is saying, he is talking about the energy that is release by those two things, what you are talking about has absolutely nothing to do with what he said.
Great vid. Thanks!
I had to check the title of the video while watching because that first minute felt like he was telling why electric cars are the obvious future. lol
