  • Richard Hammond reveals the surprising engineering connections behind the Formula 1 car. The stars of the most glamorous, and expensive sport on earth wouldn't even cross the starting line without inspiration drawn from a revolutionary 19th-century cannon, ancient sailing boats, jet engine fan blades, body armour and a technique practised by blacksmiths for thousands of years.

      However, there are good science and engineering textbooks that show you examples with real and practical situations, in fact when I have to take a new course I try to choose the option that most offers those characteristics, obviously they'll never be like one of these episodes in this kind of series, but it's a start. Then you can complement what you learn in the uni textbook with content like this or real life experiences.

    Correction. When an internal combustion engine is cold, the pistons have a SMALLER diameter compared to a warmed engine. The risk isn’t a too tight piston, the risk is the piston may wobble in the cylinder and cause damage. Also a piston is “cam ground” meaning the part of the piston with more material “wrist pin” is smaller diameter than the other parts of the piston. This way when the engine is warmed, the piston is as close to a perfect circle as possible.

    • @billiecook97
      @billiecook97 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      thats what you'd think, but in fact the video is correct, it just doesnt explain fully why. you are correct that materials expand when heated, but because the piston and the engine block are different materials, they have different thermal expansion properties. so when cold, the engine block could shrink *more* than the piston, meaning a too tight fit. the engine is designed to run at a certain running temperature, so its only at this temperature that the piston and block have a snug fit. Hope this explains this!

    why do documentaries never go into detail... so many times there was opportunity to really explain something. Could have been interesting for example to discuss the difference in failure of the drive shafts, it seemed the steel yielded and distorted because it's more malleable whereas the carbon (was a brittle failure?) had very little yielding before breaking. I could have easily watched another hour or five with indepth discussion about each concept.

    • @S3l3ct1ve
      @S3l3ct1ve 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      agree, would be interesting too see more documentary on carbon fiber vs steel. On this topic, Carbon fiber also is much safer when it fails. Steel bends like that and still caries all the force even in that state. While carbon fiber breaks and with that break takes all the force from the shaft reducing the aftereffects of the failure.
