How does the MGU-K work?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Having looked at the brakes, a lot of people wanted to know HOW the MGU-K slows the car down by adding to the rear wheel braking.
We'll look at:
- how the MGU-K turns electrical energy from the battery into power for the rear wheels
- how the MGU-K turns power from the spinning rear wheels back into electrical energy
- how MGU-K braking occurs
- how this all happens thanks to the interplay between electrical charge and magnetism!

Ok, I know you're all rushing to try and correct me and I know I do a very fast segue but:
I don't say electrons flow positive to negative, i say *electric current* flows positive to negative, which it does. Models are set up using an old convention which uses the flow of positive charge, not negative charge.
So, conventional current flows positive to negative.
Electrons flow negative to positive.
Chain Bear F1 very good on explaining this but also you can't use the left hand rule because you need the movement of negative charge (you let the positive current move), you need the right hand rule to get the direction of forces then. Turns out to be the exact opposite.
it's not convention
u envesize the fact that the generator slows the wheels down but not that it stors that energy in the battary.if u can envesize that u store the energy and release it later it will make more sense.so it looks like a brake and not a re-gen system.
Can you do a whats faster f1 or rallycrosscars
Chain bear, your video is in affiliation with motorsport.com!!! That's the biggest racing website in the world!!!
F1 commentators have been trying to explain this to people for 10 years. It took you 10 minutes.
Flintstoned because the commentators are no smarter than the audience in terms of engineering.
Can’t explain what you’re not good at.
My god, 2 week ago in school we have lesson about electromagnetism and i told myself: "when I wiil need this in my life?" "this is so boring and why they teaching us this"
Now i understand how the school is important, Great video, great explanation #RoadTo100k :)
In general only stupid people think that we will never use what we learned in school.
Dude, the "when will I ever use this in my life" way of thinking has always pissed me off. Knowledge is knowledge, man.
Hmmmm.... I wonder why learning electromagnetism would be usefuul... Does it make my ceiling fan go around? Is it helpful in generating electricity? Is it the reason i am even able to type this comment??
NOPE its important cause its used in an mguk system in a fucking f1 car
To me it's not that the learning of it is bad, i like learning new stuff, It's more that it counts to exams and you are judged on them even if aren't going to use it in whatever career you want to go to. I always hated how failing something as hard or complicated means you cannot progress with school for that.
The rote education is the problem, not the knowledge. When you have great teachers that changes. But when a society values it money lenders and spin doctors more than its teachers, you know where it is headed!
Oh my god
In a week's time I will have finished my second grade studies (university of technology, mechanics and construction of the machines) and I must say, you have explained principalities of motor/generator or electric/magnetic field linkage better and clearer than I've have ever read in a book or heard during lectures!
Very good job 😉
Bugi006 i was an electrical engineering major, and i can confirm this :)
You gonna be a great F1 mechanic...Keep working hard👏
i'm not gonna pretend i understood everything but you sir, are making F1 more interesting to average fans like me
You deserve so much more praise for your work. Good job at explaining everything!
I feel kinda bad for teaching channels like u. Those Kind of channels should have so much more subs.. anyways, great explanations. Thanks a lot for that
As a hybrid certified Master Auto technician, this was a nice review of my daily work on Prius and other hybrids. Very well done.
I just learnt the functioning of the electric motor in school. Very fascinating to see how it’s used in F1. Absolutely brilliant work!!
I never understood Flemings rule in school and I almost failed physics but this ten minutes has taught me a hell of a lot!
Love your animations - they’re so easy to understand. Awesome channel mate keep up the amazing work 🧡
This is the best explanation of a magnetic motor I have ever seen. Wonderful!
Bring back the f***ing V12s.
-Sebastian Vettel , Sochi 2019
and how is this relevant to this video in any way?
@@bondmode I thinks hes saying how complicated these things are and just wants the simpler V12s
He wouldn't know how to drive one, given he didn't even drive a V10.
you, my friend, are not a f1 channel, you are a physics teacher who is better than my school teacher, thank you for that explanation of motors
MGUH Next?
Same thing just coupled to turbo, not wheels.
at some point!
It was explained in the hibrid engine clip
if so please go in detail about the heat part
This is what I want to see. This video is a great concise summary of what I already know.
The MGU H on the other hand might as well be witchcraft.
I have a vague image of a second turbo that powers a generator instead of an injector. But I have no idea if that is right or really dumb!
Before this video was up, most people didn't know how an MGU-K works but now when this guys has put so much effort to explain things, everyone is an expert.
Celebrate every time there is a new ChainBear video!
dang man you explained how electric motors work better than most teachers or tutorials! thumbs up!
I remember when I first learned that, I was like: “so if you shake a wire between two magnets you create electricity? Awesome!” But then discovered that’s pretty much how every power plant works.
Came here after Seb’s MGUK problem in Russia GP. Who’s with me?

Another lovely day!
I had this like 2 months ago on physics (the rule you visually presented). Now I finally get it.
Very well explained. Granted this is all first year EE (and it does bring back some memories), but you presented it in a way that was very easy to understand for those not inclined in engineering.
Another great vid. F1 should seriously consider hiring you to explain all these stuff on their official channel!
Just got into F1 and this video is a god send. Thank you!
You probably don't realize how valuable this vid is.... in my school we luckily learned about electro motors, so nothing new for me. but a lot of schools here (germany) don't teach it, or atleast only by choice....
Those F1 engineers are very clever! Very nice video to use in Physics / Electromagnetic Classes.
Did you just inadvertently explained how the Formula E powertrain works?
He just explained a motor and generator - I'm still waiting for something I don't already know. Video could have just said - it uses a motor to give power to the wheels under acceleration and uses the same motor as an alternator to charge the battery when under braking. Kinda like a Prius.
I think he actually did it (and now I know why the battery and the motor need to be so damn huge in a F-E car)
I think he actually did it (and now I know why the battery and the motor need to be so damn huge in a F-E car)
I was just about to ask if this is how electric cars recharge from braking - thanks!
Probably
Nice job explaining something that very complex!
While educating us you also managed a pretty cool optical illusion similar to the "which way is she spinning" ballerina. Top work!
Your visual aids are positively electrifying.
Nice and simple explanation. Thanks
gotta say you really are amazing....i done this topic last year When i was Having my O level exam....and i dont understand a lot...but watching this videos make me remember of my Physics subject back in O level....unfortunately i ditch Physics in A level so i dont know what more than the knowledge i have....
Could have watched this video before my GCSE physics - literally the whole magnetism and motor topic right there. Great video!
Amazing video man! Awesome job!
Good video to explain the phenomena in very simple way. Thx
I love your videos. You explain everything in way anyone can understand
I wish there were more channels of such high quality on RUclips. Great video as always!
Ha good reminder from my electrical engineering classes. Great explanation for a complex topic!
Excellent!! I was always quizzed as to how does the car recover heat energy because that's what the commentators say most of the time, is that heat energy is somehow magically converted to electrical charge. Excellent video!!
Thanks you for reminding me of my school days. Lovely video.
You are 100 times better than my physics teacher was at school. Big up man.
You did a way better job than my high school teacher!! Very very good video!
This is fantastically clearly explained. Well played, good Sir.
You know your videos are good when the comments section is this positive
Can you do a video explaining all the buttons and dials on a modern F1 steering wheel?
Shatrunjay Pathare there is plenty of photos on this on the internet, plus it's just a lot of features for: the engine, tires, brakes, clutch it just keeps going like that. But definitely interesting tho
Don't want to advert another channel but I think WTF1 made a video with Renault reserve driver explaining the 2012 Lotus steering wheel with all it's functionalities. Go check it out if you're interested.
Name of the guy Jack Aitken reserve driver for Renault. They can't really show the newer steering wheel since they tend to keep that as a secret but you get the main functionalities of each knob/buttons wich didn't really change in the past seasons.
Alexandre Bisson Yeah I watched that :)
There are quite a few videos on it already and it’s definitely interesting! But we honestly won’t know exactly what the wheels button functions are due to team strategy and secrets, and driver preference.
I’ve learnt this just a couple of years ago in 11th grade..., it’s fun watching all the principles applied in real life
I wish you made vids about more then f1 you explained that super well
The most interesting thing in the whole video was that there also exists a so-called "left-hand rule", I was taught about always using the "right-hand rule", the only thing that changes is the direction of the vectors in the equation(F=L*I x B), in this case, the flow of the current and as a consequence the direction of the force.
these animations are superb! great job
Wish I’d had this video in my basic electrical classes back in the day. Very clearly explained!
Honestly, I'm still a little bit lost but I'm sure you're already making this simple as it is. Thank you for explaining this overly complicated MGU-K.
Thank you so much once again. The explanation was perfect.
Youre videos are so good i know i can "like" them before the ads have even finished. Thank you for making such quality educational videos!
This Was Also Very Interesting
Chain Bear f1 never disappoints!!!
You should add that it’s possible to vary how difficult it is to spin the motor by telling it much energy you want it to take to electrical energy. Hence why you can also vary your braking power with electric generators.
And, a crucial part (especially after what happened to Ricciardo) that if the circuit is not complete (i.e broken mguk/battery/connections) you can’t use the mguk to brake, since there’s no where for the energy to go. Apparently goes the same if your battery is full since there’s nowhere for the electricity to go.
I'm new to watching F1 and love the sport. However there is so much I didn't know. Thanks to your channel I'm getting a grip to the sports mechanics. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the rest of us less informed.
I used to think that i would really miss the V10 era of F1 engines. But oh boy, when you actually understand how the MGU-K and the Hybrid engine in general works, you understand what a wonder of technology it is.
As a physics teacher, I'd have to correct you on the visualisation of the N and S magnetic field. You should have combi them into one magnet or showed the fields inside such a magnet, cause now you show magnetic monopoles, which actually don't exist in real life (they are never observed at least in any reasonable situation)
When you break a magnet in 2, 2 separate NS-pairs appear, never a single magnetic monopole.
But as always, amazing explanation, love your videos!
Aye that's true but in pursuit of clarity...
But yes you're right. It's always a compromise. I do try and focus on the topic at hand without misleading about wider physics/engineering whenever I shortcut/simplify so hopefully not too much damage done!
It’s explained so well because we all have a genuine interest in formula one. If we didn’t care about what the idea was applied to like in class, we wouldn’t try to really understand as keenly as we do here.
Now that's what you call in-depth explanation video. Thanks and keep it up mate💪💪
Because of your videos I can make my family think I'm smart because I can explain the technical parts of formula 1. Another amazing video!
I did relatively well in school and college, except for physics... man, I had to take both Physics 1 and 2 twice EACH to pass them. Only classes I ever failed... So needless to say, sometimes physics is a bit of a foggy area for me (I mean, where exactly do I find a frictionless plain anyways, but I digress.) However, this video is probably the best explanation of motor/generator physics I've seen. Now if I could only wrap my head around three phase...
You make complicated things so simple! Thanks bro!
By far the best explanation that i ever seen thx a lot
now thats you develop interest in science by linking it with F1.... great video 👍🏼
Explained Beautifully!!!
Awesome explanation, as always!
And the 3D animations look beautiful as well. Helps a lot to understand things i didn't even know i want to learn about :)
You teach physics better than my year 11 physics teacher I have right now!
This is a better represtation than the example in my Electricity and Magnetism class
Keep doing the good job you do buddy these videos are very informative
This is such a good video mate. I learnt a lot
Also, bravo on the step up to 3D animation - really well done, long may it continue!
Well I try and keep it 2D for the most part - partly cause it's an easier visualisation and partly cause I'm still learning the ropes with 3D. I'll use 3D sparingly when it's needed, I think. Here it was necessary because there were 3 dimensions at play but thankfully I could figure out a simple animation!
With the Aero 3 video I pre illustrated everything at a 3D angle and animated around it! Hilarious, really.
long may it continue where appropriate* :P
Very well explained!!
Good job!
the best explanation on the internet!!!
Awesome explanation, keep the good work going
I never understood this in school and hated it sooo much ,thank you so much
Excellent explaination.
I know a guy that failed his Sophomore Circuits class because he used the Left hand rule rather than the right hand rule, as most electrical engineers know it. That aside, well done on the video. Physics is cool (well, usually very hot, but you take my point).
If you would have doen this video 2 weaks earlier, you would have helped me massively with my physics presentation on electric motors. But thanks for the good explenation anyway. I couldn´t find a better one for me presentation.
PHYSICS!!!!!! ❤️ your work stuart
That is mega interesting. Will have to watch again to really get it all though haha. Which isn't a punishment because the video is so good. Thanks man!
No thing to say more than PERFECT job man! Even if I understood it already you make me understand a lot more! Keep doing this mate!
This video was fantastic, I'm a chemistry graduate and this was a reminded me of my physics classes. The diagrams were phenomenal, great vid!
Fantastic job, thank you for this wonderful and easily digestible information
That's a great explanation of how the MGU-K works, simple enough to easily understand the idea behind it and at the same time quite informative on the basic principles that make this whole system work.
I have a question, though:
Since the wheels connected to the crankshaft via transmission, does it mean that MGU-K can't be used to "directly" accelerate the car and only helps to reduce the amount of force/torque required from the engine to spin wheels faster, allowing engine to rev up faster (with the additional benefits of lesser wear and fuel consumption)?
Thanks in advance!
Good job man, i appreciate your hard work.
Hey u should have made the video 1 second longer to get double ad revenue, you deserve it your video quality is top notch.
Thanks for the video - and the chuckles.
What a great explanation, well done man!
Very good video! Love the explanation although I already knew all of that!
You know you're early when English subtitle still not available😂😂.
Thankyou chainbear for allow me to learn physics in a fun and entertaining way😊😊
Such a good video and explanation!
Fantastic work
This concept is what made me so interested in physics and resulted in me doing mechanical engineering, its so simple yet such an important and powerful concept and without the discovery of this concept, life would be extremely different
Amazing video yet again. I thought I knew how the MGU-K worked, but after seeing this video... NOW I know. :) Keep up the great work!
Another simple but great video! Thank you!
Awesome explanation
You are killing me!!! Why are you so great at explaining things!!!
Which program do u use to animate those sequences?
I'm glad I found your channel. It's so informative. Keep up the good work! I love the channel
