He knows more about how a car works than the other two combined and he has such a unique vibe about him. Clarkson's about as nuanced as a sledgehammer but May has an intrigue around him. I'd love to sit with him and have a beer.

      Important note on the horsepower thing, it was a measurment of the average work a horse could do in a day, not what max power it could do short term, and it was done that way to make the steam engine look more appealing and highlight it's advantages over a horse, namely being it's continious power output over longer periods of time.

    The first letter on a current UK licence plate will tell you, broadly speaking, which area it was registered in, the next one tells you the location of the DVLA office that registered the vehicle. So, for instance, registrations beginning with S were made in Scotland, SA-SJ is Glasgow, SK-SO is Edinburgh, SP-ST is Dundee, SV/SW is Aberdeen, SX/SY is Inverness. The first two digits signify which 6 month period the vehicle was registered in. There are various reserved letters and combinations for special purposes. Similar schemes apply for vehicles registered under previous systems, where the letters and numbers might be in a different place and signify slightly different things.

    BTW: That Car is the "mighty" FIAT Panda 4x4 with Steyr-Puch transmission, the off-road version of a minimalistic and utilitarian car. Very beloved in Italy especially for people living or working in remote hardly accessible mountain areas like shepherds, forest guards. especially being very small it can get throu narrow trails where a regular off-road simply can't fit.
    I remember my uncle got one because he had to do maintainance to a plant inaccessible with everything else (except agricultural tractors) because there was a long, muddy and very steep(about 80%) climb, with the need to transport like big water pumps and electric motors (easily 50kg, ~100lb) to be replaced.

    9:18 yes, British motor vehicle number plates do have "area identifiers" (albeit where the vehicle was originally, so not necessarily currently, registered), in addition to age identifiers and unique vehicle identifiers. For example, James' Chevrolet Aveo - VO09 CBY - VO (VA-VY) is the allocation for the Severn Valley which is the Worcester/Worcestershire area of the West Midlands in England, 09 means registered between March 1st 2009 and August 31st 2009, and then CBY is that vehicle's unique identifier within the VO09 area/age identifiers.

    9:15 yup, in late 2001 the DVLA introduced area letters depending on where the vehicle is registered so 'V' which is shown on Mays Chevrolet was registered in the Severn Valley (Worcestershire). 'L' covers London, 'C' covers Wales, 'S' covers Scotland, 'A' covers Cambridgeshire, Norfolk & Suffolk, 'B' covers Birmingham & The Midlands, 'W' is the South West and so forth. The 2 numbers immediately after the first 2 letters identifies how old the car is. There are 2 sets; September to March & March to September. September to March uses 51 (2001-2002) - 72 (2022-2023) for reasons unknown to me... and March to September uses the exact year 02 (2002) - 23 (2023 current)

    Connor, you have the fundamentals of a steam locomotive almost right... at it's simplest coal is burnt in the firebox, that heats water by drawing heated air/exhaust forward to the smoke box and chimney (add superheaters to dry out steam and raise pressure), the steam formed then moves double acting cylinders (2, 3 or 4) which are attached to an axle (or 2), which are then linked together by side-rods. The exhaust steam is released into the smoke box and up the chimney, drawing a draught to pull smoke and heat forwards from the fire box.. some locomotives compound their cylinders, by having small diameter high pressure cylinders exhausting into a larger diameter low pressure cylinders before out through the smoke box and chimney.
    Why Coal and not Wood? The potential energy (calories) by weight, and burning temperature (500°c vs 750°c, wood va coal), also the size of the firebox.

    In the EU different letters on specific spots on a license plate are used to indicate which area from a country the car is registered in.

    • @Moribax85
      @Moribax85 ปีที่แล้ว

      Slightly incorrect for Italy: we don't put the initials of the city, and we don't put them because they're the largest cities. For example, my car has "PD", that stands for Padova, you could see the initials would be "PA", but "PA" is Palermo. "BG" is Bergamo, the initials would have been "BE", but "BE" is unused, even if there are 3 cities that start with those letters, Belluno, Bergamo, and Benevento (respectively "BL", "BG", "BN").
      So, the 2 letters are not the initials of the city, but a code, and only a selected number of cities have it, their size is irrelevant: Rovigo has "RO", and has around 50k inhabitants, while Giugliano in Campania, with its over 120k inhabitants doesn't, that's because of the administrative structure of Italy. Italy is divided in 20 regions (Tuscany, Lazio, Veneto, etc.), and each region is divided in provinces, from 1 in Val d'Aosta, to 12 in Lombardy. Italy has a capital (Rome), and each Region has one aswell (Venice in Veneto, Milan in Lombardy, Florence in Tuscany, and so on) known as "Capoluogo di Regione", and each province has a capital aswell, known as "Capoluogo di Provincia", and those are the cities where the provincial administration have the offices, including the vehicle registration offices.
      The code you see on italian license plates is the code of the province in which the vehicle was registered.

    Coal has higher energy density than wood, so using coal just means you get more energy from the same volume, which is important for trains, since they have to carry the fuel with them. This is one of the reasons most trains now use diesel, which has even higher energy density, or, better yet, overhead electrical supply, which means you don't have to carry the fuel at all.

    You can throw anything that burns into a steam locomotive. But coal is burning much hotter than wood, and contains more energy per volume, since it has been compressed over hunderts of thousands of years underground until it bacema hard as rock. It´s the same as with Oil, that contains tons more energy than wood. Burning wood results in more ashes and stuff too, and you need to throw in much much more than coal, so the loco would be much less efficient carrying so much wood arround instead of a couple tons of coal only.

    Coal is an energy dense fuel, meaning it burns efficiently, and producesmore heat per weight unit. It also means a coal burning appliance is capable of producing 2x more BTU/hr. than a wood burning appliance, you can fire a steam locomotive with wood but you'd need more of it and have to stoke much more frequently, at speed that particular locomotive needs 30lbs of coal a mile, it would need about twice that for wood, plus wood needs to be dry and kept dry, if it were to rain on the tender wet wood won't burn so well whereas coal will not be so badly effected by water, it also burns at a much higher temperature.

    Coal is denser and simply more calorific than wood, so coal is the premium choice of fuel for steam locos. The UK has historically had large reserves of coal. That's why the railway was invented in Britain, primarily to haul coal around from the mines to the ports.
    Coal is more scarce in the USA, so your locomotives had to be built to handle wood, which was more plentiful - this is why American locomotives have those classic huge wedge-shaped devices on the funnel, which are called smoke arrestors and they stop the unburnt wood embers from floating out and setting fire to the countryside. Coal doesn't do that quite so much so British locos have never needed them, hence the more sleek and elegant shape.
    And technically, I suppose you could use wood inside a coal-firing engine in a pinch, as external combustion engines are less fussy about what they eat than internal combustion ones. But even so, it's best to stick to the fuel the engine was designed for on the whole.

    "Getting used to the driver being on the right side which is the wrong side"
    On the other hand, it could be our driver's seats are on the right side because it's the correct side :P In all seriousness though, in the UK, we drive on the left hand side of the road, so being on the right hand side of the car means we can see people coming up behind us easier. Also means passengers getting out of the car are less at risk because they get out on the pavement side.
    And your question about needing a different license for different parts of the UK, it doesn't happen. The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) is run by the government, so it's pretty standard across the board. Also we're a lot smaller than USA so there's no need for so many different rules in different places.

    RE: License plate question. First, they're technically called "vehicle registration plates" here in the UK (they are associated with the vehicle, and not the driver - unlike other countries like the US, and much of mainland Europe), and they're colloquially known as simply "number plates". And yes, as of 2001 in England, Scotland, and Wales, there is a distinction depending where the car was first registered on the road - the first letter of the 7 characters. So A = Anglia, B = Birmingham, C = Cymru (Wales), M = Manchester and Merseyside, L = (guess) and so on, and so forth. However in Northern Ireland they have a different system, and I don't know what that is off the top of my head. Hilariously I bought my car from Belfast, NI, and it has the NI plate varient. I just a) can't be bothered to look up how that system works and b) I don't care. All that said you can buy personalised number plates with your own choice of characters on from the official governing body, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). These cost anywhere between a small amount to well into the thousands depending how few characters you have. Maybe someone does have the number plate "1" but something like that would be sold at auction for a heck of a lot of money - probably millions I would imagine.

    Hello and good evening from the UK ....Horse power = how fast you can hit a wall from a standing start. Then you bring in torque, that equals how far your vehicle would push that wall after you hit it at the same speed.

    All three of them do their own driving stunts. Richard Hammond was badly injured in 2006 when he crashed a jet powered car. He was in a coma for 2 weeks and suffered some brain damage. I think all of them have suffered injuries at some point.

    That is a Fiat Panda 4x4 and is a brilliant little car. They did do all their driving hence why Hammond crashed a rocket car at over 300mph and nearly died and he crashed an electric car and nearly died and may crashed a evo 10 and nearly died.

    The car you though was a Suzuki, the one that ended on 3 wheels, driven by James May, is not a Suzuki at all, it's the legendary Fiat Panda 4x4, specifically the limited edition "Sisley" version, born in 1987. If you wanna get it used now, almost 40 years after it came out, you better be prepared to spend enough money to get a new car.
    As for Horse Power, yep, that's exactly how it happened: when the steam engine was invented and started to be commercialized, the inventor had to relate it to what the potential customers knew, horse-drawn carriages, so he started saying that that engine had the power of 20 horses. The comparison stuck for any mechanical engine, at least in common language. In scientific language, and so for engineers and legislators, kW is preferred.

  • @michaelmay5453
    @michaelmay5453 ปีที่แล้ว

    The type of coal they are using burns a LOT hotter than wood and it releases hotter gasses as a result of it, wood has been used but you have to keep raking out hot coals of wood because the fire is needed, not the secondary heat and then there is the problem with soot.
    Why do I know this? I haven't got a clue... I'm old, I don't know where I learned that.

  • @frankparsons1629
    @frankparsons1629 ปีที่แล้ว

    The calorific vale of wood is so very much lower than coal, a steam engine wouldn't move an eighth of an inch if you tried wood, instant disaster!! However the fire in a steam locomotive is started with oily rags and "kindling" wood, then the coal is added gradually, building it up over a few hours, it ain't instant, generally you start at 4 in the morning to be ready to rock an roll by 9. Britains Industrial revolution was built on coal, which was used as early as the 1600's and afterwards for smelting and certainly replaced charcoal. Thank you Mr. Bessemer.

    Number plates don’t matter in the UK, take LS10 UEW as an example
    Two random letters, year the car was made, space, three random letters
    England, Scotland and Wales:
    The year of the car can be 10 or 60
    10: March - September 2010
    60: September 2010 - February 2011
    We also have where the country is from, eg: ENG | LS10 UEW, S | LS10 UEW or W | LS10 UEW
    Ireland on the other hand have both sides of the number plate white, whilst England Scotland and Wales have white and yellow.
    The Irish number plate, I believe, is different to the English, Scottish and Welsh number plate… possibly similar to other European countries

    Coal is much more energy dense than wood, there's a lot more energy in one regular sized piece of coal compared to a log. You need far less of it to generate the same amount of heat, ergo you can carry more fuel pound for pound. A lot of the old American 4-4-0s were wood burners though. The type of locos you'd see in Westerns etc.
    A typical loco like Tornado, tender holds around 8 tons of coal, at full chat she'll easily burn through a couple to tons an hour so you can imagine how much wood it would take to do the same job!

    Its always a suprise to hear a Yank say they have never fired a gun. As someone that grew up in Northern Ireland in the 70's when lots of stuff was going on I have been taught to use a gun from I was 10. God I was given a shotgun and sent out into the fields to hunt at that age whilst half the country were trying to kill the other half. Spent 6yrs in the Army and have had a gun from I was old enough at 18 till now at the grand old age of 58.

    James May is the best. Clarkson is quite unpleasant,
    and Hammond is a daredevil (almost killed twice;
    it's a wonder his wife has not killed him herself
    just to be sure she never had to worry again).
    James May is a civilised man a well read and educated man
    with a wide range of competences outside the world of cars.

    Horsepower came about in the 18th century and is based on how much power a pony (not full size horse) normally produces as an average over one minute. But because they can momentarily be stronger then the one minute average they can output approximately 15 horsepower momentarily!

  • @krash66
    @krash66 ปีที่แล้ว

    To answer your first question, coal burns much hotter and longer than wood.
    Horsepower definition:
    1 hp ≡ 33,000 ft·lbf/min by definition
    also 1hp = 550 ft⋅lbf/s since 1 min = 60 s
    Or: one horsepower equals 33,000 foot-pounds of work per minute-that is, the power necessary to lift a total mass of 33,000 pounds one foot in one minute.
    My only constructive criticism is to be mindful of where your mouse pointer is. In a lot of the video it is right in the middle of the video in the actors faces and is kind of distracting. Thanks.

    Serial format AA11 AAA Colour, (front)Black on white, Colour (rear) Black on yellow

    the ‘AB01 ABC’ format that was launched in 2001. For example - the ‘AB01 ABC’ example we’ve just used would be a car that was registered in 2001 in the Anglia region. What’s more, the area code also tells you which DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) Office first registered the vehicle

    I mean when most western people as in hemisphere so the Americas and British people also sometimes Australian people say Horsepower, they're referring to *BHP Brake/British Horsepower*
    Dire horses think how spell it were specially bred to be large as to pull larger wagons and carts, *PS or PherdStrade* translated from German means Horse Strength is Metric Horsepower which certain countries use instead of BHP. Mind 1BHP is 1.01PS so isn't much difference really and KWs Kilowatts are also used as Watts is the unit of power as in Joules for energy over time secs. And can't remember perfectly but I think it's 1BHP is 0.75KW or 750 Watts, which is 750 joules of energy every second.
    When you do science and engineering as I've done? You get used to the different units and ways to measure well everything lol.
