Oh its fake? I havent watched youtube in a while. I quickly watched some earlier video with the car and just thought "meh random tubed chassis with tesla front end"
I appreciate how serious this build is getting. I'm genuinely curious how much of a difference this all will make when you guys make a more permanent body.
With how the teslas are basically limited on power from factory, I imagine he can get this record easy and he'll probably keep it till someone else goes even crazier with one
none. electric cars need weight to have traction and go fast. by the time they make enough aero mods to give it the downforce needed to balance all the weight they got out of it, the car will need the exact same hp to move as it did before. hence this project is total bullshit, a waste of money, time and reseources that could've went towards other builds on the channel that would've brought actual new audience and increased their money flow.
@@game9370x you dont know what youre talking about. They already have enough "downforce" as it still drives and doesnt fly, and the car still seems pretty stable. What I think you ment to say is drag. Also, you realise that the lighter a car is, the less traction it needs to have the same acceleration right? In theorie a heavy vehicle can stop as short as a lighter vehicle, practical it says otherwise, its close but not the same. Go learn something instead of gaming.
Bro this is actually brilliant, can't increase the power so now it has to be as efficient as possible! You guys should look into hypermiling type mods like a speedtail style design. I'd really to see if you could improve on the original aerodynamics considering ya'll don't have any restrictions
The car was already designed to be as efficient as possible. Telsa (and i hate the company not the cars) has some of the best in the business for areo design for distance.
When you fabricate a more permanent solution, I really think you should consider adding a long tail. The hatchback like drop-off at the back is hurting your drag compared to the base vehicle. With a long tail, I think you could get the drag lower than stock.
100% This, If you lookup aero civic there's one that gets about 100mpg with a long cone shaped tail, no side mirrors, etc. That will make a huge difference.
This x10. By adding the longer tail and smoothing out the transition you are going to remove the sudden low pressure zone behind the car. That will significantly decrease the pressure gradient across the car and reduce drag as a whole. After all, drag is basically the sum of your pressure gradient times the frontal area.
Kyle as a long time watcher and mechanical engineer (been watching since before i went to engineering school) the wind tunnel was awesome. Seeing him move the probe around and show bad areas vs good areas was very interesting, that guy is very smart. Just saying you should do more cool stuff like this, I think a lot of viewers are here for some of the more technical stuff you do and you shouldn't move away from that.
I was just at that wind tunnel testing a race car last week!!! I learned a lot about undertrays/splitters/canards. Pro tip to maximize your time there (if not filming YT), wait till you leave to analyze your data as tunnel time is expensive, also add everything to the car before you get there and remove it as you test, its easier and faster to remove stuff than to add it.
Loving this build! You should go tinted lexan for the panels! Visibility and would look sick! Just my opinion. Also could contour it a little. Can't wait to see the final results! I'm guessing world record coming soon! LFG!
I was also thinking Lexan but, I think clear would be better so you can still see through to the cage. Carbon fibre sheets are actually cheaper than you might expect.
Glad you guys brought it here to really show the difference which not only helps us see just how bad it was being just a rollcage but also so you guys could learn exactly how the air is affected for racing.
Your killing it with the content brother! Thank you.. times are hard right now, your uploads sure do help.... i loved the string test in the last video 😂
Love the explanation of the Flat Plate, was really surprised the stripped Tesla was as high as 60% of a flat plate of the same frontal area. WOW so much drag without the body, so much to gain.
Under tray for the front bumper is important for aero, that was removed in a previous video due to weight savings, would have been interesting so see a before and after for the undertray. Aero under the car is super important in F1.
Lexan is basically clear polycarbonate plastic. Great idea for looks! I love it! As for breaking the record, I think I think the cardboard is actually very underestimated here, this is still very stiff material for its weight! not very weatherproof or resilient but still lightweight and relatively stiff as a diy handmade wind cover. Carboard is mass produced and optimized for strength/weight ratio by using spacing between the outer layers - that's a neat trick to do a sandwich like structure you do in composites for boosting stiffness without adding a lot of mass.
Bro!! From a turbo'd Geo Metro and fun in the snow with old crappy civic wagons to a freakin windtunnel? I was pretty sure you would come a long way but this stuff wasnt on my mind😅. So happy Kyle! Keep it up!❤ Edit: wouldnt it help to cover the rear wheels completly?
Jeff seems like a helluva guy! After watching other wind tunnel videos, where it was easy to get lost in the technical info, it was so nice to have someone who was so good at explaining everything in layman's terms.
Probably a decade ago at a local drag event one of the guys had basically a mountable rear end for his Prelude. It was a longtail with the underside being a giant splitter and the top end gradually joining the bottom. With that thing on, the car became basically twice as long, but the times he was putting for his horsepower were insane. Basically the same idea behind the McLaren Speedtail.
The "wicker"(?) strip they tried on the tail is an element of a Kamm tail, and as we saw it can be really small. The sharp cutoff at the rear shown by the smoke in the wind tunnel is the Kamm tail forming a virtual long tail body for the laminar airflow off the car to ride on.
Unusual and informative episode. Loved flying the RC jet in the wind tunnel. Reminded me of pilots doing VTOL in a tiny parking lot with 50 mph sustained winds.
If you are in North Carolina then you need to stop at the Rockingham Dragway and test it out. They have great prep there and you should be able to get maximum traction. You can also charge at the track there and there is a nearby Supercharger.
Definitely one of my favorite episodes of yours. I really enjoyed the in depth analytics of what was going on. Really interested to see what you guys come up with when it comes to slapping some aluminum on ol Eroy
What really helps is a long tail version at the rear with shallow angles, just like the top of a raindrop. The reason behind this the same as with the windshield, you got a low pressure zone behind every wall and the airstream is sucked in by it, creating vortexes and turbulences which cost energy and the car is pulled back by the the low pressure. So just avoid „walls“ and smooth out these transition zones between high and low pressure. This design is used in some highspeed cars as well like the McLaren Speedtail for instance
Yup, but you can do similar work with a camera, the string and a road on a calm day.. at least visually seeing if getting clean flow or turbulent. Are you an F1 fan at all? pretty much the pinacle of aero performance (so much so aircraft manufacturers partner with teams for aero development) mixed with some extreme performance and sometimes good/entertaining racing.. Always something to enjoy (Though not for everyone.. can be boring train of cars at times)
A rack/pinion louvered grill for your front cooling fans would be super trick and block off the entire front opening. Factor all this aero, lighter wheels, better rubber, and an additional 200lbs I think you'll still go much faster still. Another BB world record is what I'm expecting soon.
He needs to yank that 100kwh pack out, sell it for a pretty penny and then build something serious around 40-60kwhs designed for maximum c rate draw down. Still could get 10-15 1/4mile runs out of a charge. Cut another 300-500# out of it as well. New suspension tuning to he cut nearly half a ton out of it. Those rates are wack now especially for keeping it planted at the strip. Maybe swap the heavy ass air bags out for some racing coils. 🤔
@@mke723 yup imo with a purpose built pack, regular coil suspension, drag wheels n tires, aero panels and ingenext unlock chip? He could be in the LOW 8s at around 3,200# empty.
Not gonna lie man i'm loving this content. To make the tesla even more aerodynamic you guys can probably adjust the bars a bit lower at the back to get rid of the hump at the tail. Definitely well deserved thumbs up in this video.
Class.. Pure class, love the meme mixed with actual useful testing. Would love to see you do a full light-weight streamline shell.. Thin fiberglass or something. Wonder if a drag spoiler at the back would help detach the air better from the back as is.(nevermind, you mentioned it) His point of each time the air changes direction it adds drag, Wondering if a few more spoilers/strakes/"barge boards" to control the airflow around the wheels or other problem areas would be worth the effort.
Thin fiberglass doesn't have any structure to it, and flexes with the wind. It would create a ton of turbulence, and negate the aero advantages of a body
@@dzzope they use carbon fiber in the glas now on funny cars You said THIN funny cars are not THIN fiberglass You can SEE THRU THIN fiberglass Choose your adverbs wisely...

Should model a longtail! Could get that laminar flow sticking to the rear to separate without the negative pressure area.
yeah,longtail like the mercedes EQXX would be nice ;)
That would be sick! Good idea.

You need to either cut the back off sharp (called a Kamm back) or taper it down by about 12 degrees, to a really long tail.
