    I hate how people act like Brabham were lying about it cooling the engine, if they did then they wouldn’t have been able to race, it would’ve been a movable aero piece and there for illegal, so they tried to make it 51% cooling and 49% ground effect, which actually ended up as a 55-45 split, and they gladly invited to FIA to their headquarters and allowed them to check the numbers, that’s why it was allowed to race, it DID cool the engine
    Plus the FIA was going to ban it the next season, but the president of Brabham Bernie Ecclestone pulled the car out to stop the other teams from getting too angry at his team

    • @DjDolHaus86
      @DjDolHaus86 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The problem was basically that early ground effect cars were super sensitive to ride height change which meant that if you accidentally rode up a curb during a fast corner you'd go from having massive grip to almost none. Fan cars presented a similar problem but with the added issue of being so much faster in slow corners that any race track they wanted to race at would need a major redesign to make the tracks safe, a gravel trap at a tight hairpin that was designed to catch cars leaving the circuit at 60mph was suddenly having to deal with cars leaving the circuit at well over 100mph. With drivers and organisers at the time already pushing for ever more expensive safety measures at the expense of track owners this was just deemed as something the sport could do without.
      I suppose the closest you'll get to a modern take on real life unlimited aero is time attack cars or hillclimb/pikes peak but being based loosely on road cars they obviously make some concessions. Nobody is willing to throw the hundreds of millions of dollars it would take to build a truly unlimited race car but the Redbull X2010 is an interesting virtual vehicle designed by race engineers which illustrates what might be possible if the shackles were removed from F1 design.

    I was hoping you were going to mention the Brawn GP in the ground effect section of the video. It’s kind of genius how they abused a loophole to generate more downforce than anyone else and claim both titles on their first and only year (obviously not really first year since the car was originally intended to be on the Honda in 2009 but as the financial crisis hit in 2008 they quickly decided to scrap the project while Brawn’s design was already complete by the time).

    One thing Noone ever mentions is that drag coefficient factors in the size of the vehicle. Basically meaning that if you doubled the size of a vehicle but kept it the exact same shape and proportions, the drag coefficient would remain exactly the same, despite the actual drag figures being higher. That's part of why a van can have a higher DC than a sports car- the van actually has more drag, but it's bigger, so it's shape can still be more aerodynamically efficient for its size

    FYI, everything you said about tear drops was wrong. 17:50 was particularly wrong. Rain drops are not that shape at all. They are mostly round ball shapes due to surface tension/pressure. The only reason we draw water drops that shape is because of a visual effect of fast moving small objects seeming to have a tail.

    • @proimageaz
      @proimageaz 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Exactly. Large rain drops are flat with concave sides. They look like red blood cells falling flat side down. Doesn’t mean you should shape your car like that.

    • @antoinelaurin5441
      @antoinelaurin5441 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      It's not only wrong thing... it's not because a car has a low drag coefficient that's it's more aerodynamic... Aerodynamic consider drag coefficient and the surface of the car in contact with air.
      In other word, a Ferrari f50 can have the same drag coefficient then a honda cr-v, but it doesn't mean the Honda has same aerodynamic than the Ferrari. The Ferrari is more aerodynamic cause there is less surface in contact with air.

    Makes a video on aerodynamics of cars.
    Totally trashes the Bernoulli effect.
    11:45
    The Bernoulli effect works as follows
    1) By restricting the cross section area bellow the car through wich air has to pass, it has to move faster so that the same volume of air flows bellow the car.
    2) Faster moving air produces a lower pressure, which, in the addition of the higher ambient pressure above the car, will work to move the car down.
    Air moves through restricted space, is forced to accelerate though it and produces a low pressure, sucking the car to the ground. The Bernoulli effect produces the (down) force that causes the car to get sucked / pushed to the ground.
    Edit. I see you explained it. Commented to fast (as usual)
    Still what is missing in the explanation is why the air is moving faster bellow the car than above the car. And the reason for that is that we restrict the area through which the air has to pass.
