So far many People here on TH-cam tried to explain how Torque and Power are connected, but couldn't quite do it. But you Sir, you absolutely nailed it! I think this may be your best video so far, it contains just the right amount of information to unterstand the topic, but it's simple enough not to lose the view over the whole topic. The effort you put into these videos is amazing, i really love your new animations especially the ones where you show the engine revs on the chart.
thank you - I did spot it as a topic that had continued to confuse people a bit so I really wanted to nail it. I'm very happy with the rev sound effects as I hoped it made it easier to interpret the graph and the graphics
Congrats on 100k. Three weeks ago I had no idea about any F1 rules or even watched an F1 race (or much other Motorsport). I watched your overtaking video and now I am hooked. I've watched all your vids, am posting on message boards, listening to F1 podcasts, playing F1 games and I stayed up far too late (early) watching the Austrian GP. So.... thanks for that? A new F1 fan from NZ, thanks to you.
Wow, great video as always! And again awesome graphics, 3D-animation again, visualisation of telemetry... it's great to see how much effort you put in every of these videos! And congrats to 100k! You deserve every one of them
Hope I'm not nitpicking too much. But I think the example of finding the maximum torque output needs a annotation or alike to correct the example. The gearing is actually tuned to the maximum power output of the engine. In F1 cars it doesn't make much of a difference as they are tuned to have there maximum torque delivered high up in the rev-range. But if people were to apply the method to an engine with max torque delivered at low rpm, they probably won't be able to make sense of it, as the gearing will keep the revs higher than where max torque is delivered. Would like to add that, as always, I loved the video and the way you manage to explain these complicated topics in a way that people without a big understanding of the physics can understand. As they say: "The better your own understanding is of a topic the simpler you can explain it to others". So huge respect from here, because you seem to understand these topics very well :)
Dude! I wish people were taught torque this way back in school. Way too many people in undergrad that still don't fully understand the concept. You're great at explaining and helping people learn. You'd be a good teacher!
Best and the clearest explanation of torque on TH-cam in terms of understanding its relationship with how it actually works in the real time scenario. Thank you!
I saw a video a while back on this very same topic but I have to say you explained it far better in an easier to understand manner. Great vid, and congrats on 100k!
Brilliant video, not only did it help me understand torque in F1 but also how electric road cars have "instant power" But the word torque does sound weird now...
From the tiny details in the animations to talking about the meeting points of the gears this is by far the best explanation. Also thanks for going further with the graphs, will give a rewatch of the engine maps video.
Great Video, As I Guy Who Races These Cars, And As A Guy Whose Teaching Little GKarters About This, These Videos Are A Great Use Of Teaching And Learning.
I started watching this, remembering the difficulty I had with physics in high school, ultimately sadly dropping the subject. Am at 2:33 now and all of a sudden so many things have fallen into place. Thank you so much.
These are all very, very basic concepts but I'm suprise that so many people watch race for years but have absoultly no idea about them. Thanks for explaining these with so much patience. Even myself can loss patience when try to teach people about these basic knowledge. We need more real racing fans who know how these incredible mechines work rather than fake fans who just want to see cars crash.
For years I've had a very basic understanding of torque and gearboxes and the like but this is the first video to break everything down bit by bit in an easy to understand format. I feel like I've actually learnt a lot from this video. Great work!
This is the best explanation of the subject I've ever heard. You have a knack for teaching! I will be showing this to my kids to help them with the subject at school! Superb.
Still impressed by you. No matter what, you keep upping your quality, while remaining coherent. Simple graphics that speak paragraphs on their own. Driving these complicated concepts in a way that gives an amazing grasp on them, all the while noting common misunderstandings to people that may have missed something or weren’t focusing 100%. People are beginning to notice you, and rightly so. If you keep up this quality, I’m sure you’ll go very far, Mr Bear!
I remember not understanding Torque in my physics class, but you somehow got it in my head in 10 minutes, awesome videos, great explanation and great animation that helps the viewer understand faster. Keep it up you got a new sub!!
U have the ability to explain even rocket science in your sleep!! By far, the best explanation ever!! Where were u when i needed you the most during my graduation days?
please continue with these absolute gems of educational and entertaining videos! Never have I seen mechanics, physics and motors fundamentals so intuitively explained . GREAT work on he graphics, don't stop! You will be BIG
Best video on this channel yet!! This is absolutely fantastic stuff! And CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K!!!! One question though: E.g. last year in China, Max started the race in 2nd gear because of rain. Why? Keep doing your thing, you're brilliant! Greetings from Germany :)
In normal cars, when starting a car in slippery conditions(snow, rain,...), it's advisable to be in 2nd gear so that the wheels don't spin out of control
its easier to not spin the tires in a higher gear because the torque at the wheels is lower. It's still totally possible to start in a lower gear and just not give it so much accelerator, but the difference between too little and too much gas is smaller because the torque at the wheels for all throttle positions is higher. Especially when I don't think an F1 car "gas" pedal moves even as much as a modern passenger car, which seems to move less than any older car I've driven.
I don't even watch F1 but I somehow stumbled onto your channel and I have to say it's one of the best on TH-cam! Your explanations are really good and easy to understand. I still don't watch F1 but I watch your videos for sure.
I'm more of a silent subscriber, but for you reaching 100.000 subs, I needed to thank you for your work. You're amazing. The way the things are described is so easily intelligible, even more than certain specified 'tech channels'. I'm really hoping that F1 sees how good of a job you're doing and maybe get you to do something for them, because the quality of all your videos is quite amazing. Also, even though I mostly already know many things about what you're talking about, you often bring up new points and explenations. Keep up the work... :)
So educational! I'm glad this video will clear up any misconceptions that people may have (e.g. "torquey" = more powerful is not true but means a faster power delivery). Honestly, the graph helps me have a better understanding of how torque works in general.
This is just for those who want more elucidation on specific physics terms. Clarification of definition: Torque is also known as moment(s). It is the result of force x *perpendicular distance* from pivot *Perpendicular distance* is important because it explains why pulling a luggage at an angle is easier than just yanking it straight on.
Another great one! Love your videos! I'd like to add a couple of points: 1. Motors also don't require a clutch to allow for rev-up, before it can be connected to the wheel. The lack of clutch slip also adds significant torque 2. The torque required to maintain a particular acceleration/speed actually goes up (not down) the faster you go (due to air resistance and such)
Although I know this beforehand bc I study mechanical engineering, the video is amazing, the way you explain it is perfect, the graphs are clear and the logical reasons of the behavior perfect. Top tier content
One thing I struggled with for a long time was the difference between torque and power until it was visualised by my physics teacher (don't ask me how, I don't remember that far back). I was just thinking that there's a chance others may struggle with it as I did and might be worth exploring for those people.
Everytime I'm thinking this guy has covered everything there is, but you're still finding intresting topics. Great job mate! keep on doing what you're doing! :)
Some little nitpicks: You don't need a high gear ratio to get the car going because its harder to get the car moving, but because you can achieve higher torque and faster acceleration by using a higher gear ratio. Or to put it differently, the higher the gear ratio, the higher revs you can use, so you can output more power, which translates to higher torque at the wheels because the power must be the same. And the second thing: The gear shifts don't aim to maximize the engine torque output but engine power output. The fastest acceleration is achieved by revving even until the torque starts to drop, because you're still gaining power since your RPMs are still increasing. Maximum power is always achieved when the torque has already dropped off. And even when the power starts dropping off, you might still wanna keep going because the engine might still be producing more power than at the lower RPM in the nextgear. So not only you might wanna rev past the peak torque, but even past the peak power.
I was studying physics... couldn’t understood what torque is... soo i kinda gave upp.. Then I started watching F1 videos and this came up!!! It helped a lot! Thanks!
I'm always excited to see a new video of Chain Bear F1 popping up. Thank you for these amazing and really useful videos! A real bonus - at least for me - would be subtitles. Since I'm not an English native speaker, it would really give more 'torque' understanding the technical talks. :-)
On a iPhone so no add block here, so that’s pretty weird. When they decide to show up I’ll have to click on a few too see what great companies your advertising! Hahah
I agree with the other commenters, F1 aside this is the sing,e most useful animation I’ve ever seen for the relationship between torque and power and what the words really mean. The sounds effects and the animated graph are incredibly intuitive and useful. Keep it up!
Hopefully this guy will end up on one of the F1 TV teams one day. Great explanations for the f1 beginner and diehard alike. Keep it up.
Ben Hewitt he just showed up on Autosport 😀😀 I just hope he doesn't forget us after becoming even more popular haha
Maybe Renault to math his color scheme ;)
th-cam.com/video/jHmxJPTWD-M/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JacquesAudet
we did this 30 years ago !
The part where you put live telemetry into torque graph is absolutely stunning!
F1 aside, this is the best explanation of how a basic gearbox works I've ever seen. Great production overall!
watch more closely and it turn out that this video have so many error that its only junk nothing more 🫣 ….
I hope you never stop *torquing* about F1.
Made me chuckle. Ha
You're fired.
Bruh
The amount of effort you put into your videos is crazy.
So much torque he puts into it!
The animations are especially helpful in this video.
Exquisite, If those who can't comprehend the difference between torque and power couldn't get itfrom your video, I don't know what will!

You just made torque sound interesting. I don't know how but you did it.
I totally agree with you. I've been looking at torque video for so long trying to understand it and now it's interesting AND I understand it! hahah
You're vids are changing my vision of F1 races, making them more and more interesting everytime
Keep up the amazing work !
The quality of these videos is just insane!! What a great channel.
Congrats on 100k.
Three weeks ago I had no idea about any F1 rules or even watched an F1 race (or much other Motorsport). I watched your overtaking video and now I am hooked. I've watched all your vids, am posting on message boards, listening to F1 podcasts, playing F1 games and I stayed up far too late (early) watching the Austrian GP.
So.... thanks for that?
A new F1 fan from NZ, thanks to you.
Haha..I got hooked last year with Baku GP and is following the same arc you mentioned. This channel helped a lot in the hype !!
Lachie55 Shubhendu Singh
YES. And now you will be hooked for a lifetime.
Wow, great video as always!
And again awesome graphics, 3D-animation again, visualisation of telemetry... it's great to see how much effort you put in every of these videos!
And congrats to 100k! You deserve every one of them

Sir your knowledge is very deep and thanks for making videos and making us understand the F1 more. Greetings from India
Amazing video as always, but you missed the opportunity to say "Let's gear up and torque about Gearboxes!"
100!
Love to see the Patreons list getting longer and longer :)
Nice indeed.
This post convinced me to also become a Patreon!
Stuart, you really deserve some reward(s) for the amazing work you make!
This is what the community needs, to understand how the cars today work. Its not as simple as it was 30 years ago. Great work mate, keep it up :)
Holy.... Best...animation...ever....
wow this was great!! Always wondered what it was even for regular cars, glad you covered it!
Dude! I wish people were taught torque this way back in school. Way too many people in undergrad that still don't fully understand the concept.
You're great at explaining and helping people learn. You'd be a good teacher!
Best Torque Description, yet! Thank you =o) Excellent script and fantastic supporting graphics/visuals.
Cheers!
I love the animations, definitely worth the effort!
I’m a gearhead and an engineer and I still watch and love these videos. Keep up the great work! Lets go 100k!
100k!! 100k!! 100k!!
Finally!!
All this talk about torque has me stoked! Your videos are worth waiting for! Brilliant!
Best and the clearest explanation of torque on TH-cam in terms of understanding its relationship with how it actually works in the real time scenario. Thank you!

Dude, great work. I am really amazed with your skills on breaking down these very confusing concepts. Hats off!
Brilliant video, not only did it help me understand torque in F1 but also how electric road cars have "instant power"
But the word torque does sound weird now...
It's been misused forever.
Probably the best description of torque I've ever seen, and I studied Mechanical engineering for a year too. Brilliant video, thank you!
I love these low key Physics mechanics lessons you slip into your videos! Great content! 😇
I've been questioning myself what torque really was for a while now, and no source of information explained it better than you. Thank you :D
Your video is outstanding I finally understand gears
Not one video I have found is like this
But the video is about torque. Unless you're saying you got a twofer?
@@krane15 yeah mainly both
To use a baseball term: You knocked that one out of the park! Nicely done sir.
From the tiny details in the animations to talking about the meeting points of the gears this is by far the best explanation. Also thanks for going further with the graphs, will give a rewatch of the engine maps video.
Great Video, As I Guy Who Races These Cars, And As A Guy Whose Teaching
Little GKarters About This, These Videos Are A Great Use Of Teaching And Learning.
Every word seems like a sentence somehow.
Shaun Stephens Ever Since I Updated My Phone, Every Word Is In Caps. 😡
Kostadin Kotev What Does Lile Mean
KPH Crazy™ by races these cars, you mean drive them in games right?
Dpschof No, I Race Formula 4s
You can even teach a kid complex mechanisms with such skills. Beautiful presentation!
I started watching this, remembering the difficulty I had with physics in high school, ultimately sadly dropping the subject. Am at 2:33 now and all of a sudden so many things have fallen into place. Thank you so much.
This video taught me a whole lot about the idea of torque and how the gearbox works. Thanks a billion, man. It was amazing.
These are all very, very basic concepts but I'm suprise that so many people watch race for years but have absoultly no idea about them. Thanks for explaining these with so much patience.

you are doing Awesome work. kindly explain on side pods and it's evolution. thank you in advance bro.
Congratulations on 100k! You deserve it!

Chain Bear!!! that was simply amazing!!! I loved the graph with the telemetry.
This is the best explanation of the subject I've ever heard. You have a knack for teaching! I will be showing this to my kids to help them with the subject at school! Superb.
Great explaining, nice visuals, very informative - perfect, as usual.
I just started learning about F1. You’re videos have been an incredible learning tool for all aspects of racing, not just F1. Thank you!!!
Even outside of F1, this is the best explanation of torque. Outstanding work.
Still impressed by you. No matter what, you keep upping your quality, while remaining coherent. Simple graphics that speak paragraphs on their own. Driving these complicated concepts in a way that gives an amazing grasp on them, all the while noting common misunderstandings to people that may have missed something or weren’t focusing 100%.

Well explanation.
Thank you.
Greetings from Spain.
Graphics, editing, and delivery of complex info in a more simplified and understandable way are all superb. Love your content.
genuinely very helpful, I only had a very vague understanding before watching but now fully understand it
U have the ability to explain even rocket science in your sleep!!
By far, the best explanation ever!! Where were u when i needed you the most during my graduation days?
All engineer with the basic of physic should know this.. Thanks for share this engineering content to the world
please continue with these absolute gems of educational and entertaining videos! Never have I seen mechanics, physics and motors fundamentals so intuitively explained . GREAT work on he graphics, don't stop! You will be BIG
You're a legend for explaining complex topics like these simplified. Amazing stuff !
Your videos make me love mechanics even more. It's fascinating to learn such things.
Best video on this channel yet!! This is absolutely fantastic stuff! And CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K!!!!
One question though: E.g. last year in China, Max started the race in 2nd gear because of rain. Why?
Keep doing your thing, you're brilliant!
Greetings from Germany :)
dsf0501 I think he started in second gear to avoid the slipping of the wheels on the wet ground.
Too much torque might have caused the wheels to spin up in the rain, maybe thats why
In normal cars, when starting a car in slippery conditions(snow, rain,...), it's advisable to be in 2nd gear so that the wheels don't spin out of control
its easier to not spin the tires in a higher gear because the torque at the wheels is lower.

One of the best technical channels on TH-cam
These are some of the best produced videos on TH-cam.
One of the best channels I've come across on everything F1 and automotive... Well done sir! Keep it up!
The animation of the graph was dope with the sound...
And as always, amazing content
I cant belive how easy you explain it. Im not a native english speaker, and this was awsome. Thank you!
sorry for my english
One thing I struggled with for a long time was the difference between torque and power until it was visualised by my physics teacher (don't ask me how, I don't remember that far back).
I was just thinking that there's a chance others may struggle with it as I did and might be worth exploring for those people.
Impresive animations!
Everytime I'm thinking this guy has covered everything there is, but you're still finding intresting topics.
Great job mate! keep on doing what you're doing! :)
Excellent implementation of the audio of the cars. Really helped get the info straight across. Very good video!
Thanks for that great explanation. I knew about torque and gearing before, but never understood what "torquey" meant.
I just found this channel today. This is amazing! As a engineering student with a bachelors in physics, This is great!
Amazing video, awesome graphs
10/10
The animated torque vs rpm curve, especially with sound, is genius!
Combining engine sound with rpm axis was a brilliant idea...it was very helpful.
the graphs and the way u explained the theory are absolutely brilliant! Love it!
Clear and great explanation as always, I really love your videos!
Congrats on reaching 100K Subs!
That was so explicit.... really did understood about the topic for which I was trying to find more videos about!
Some little nitpicks: You don't need a high gear ratio to get the car going because its harder to get the car moving, but because you can achieve higher torque and faster acceleration by using a higher gear ratio.

So not only you might wanna rev past the peak torque, but even past the peak power.
I never "got" the appeal of F1 racing, but your videos are absolutely amazing and might just convert me :)
I was studying physics... couldn’t understood what torque is... soo i kinda gave upp.. Then I started watching F1 videos and this came up!!! It helped a lot! Thanks!
I'm always excited to see a new video of Chain Bear F1 popping up. Thank you for these amazing and really useful videos! A real bonus - at least for me - would be subtitles. Since I'm not an English native speaker, it would really give more 'torque' understanding the technical talks. :-)
Liberty really should get you on board to do one of these videos before each race to help new fans understand F1 better. Great stuff!
EXCELLENT video!
Amazing graphics, very well put together, explained plainly and succinctly.
Kudos!
Amazing, as ever. Can't think of anyone more deserving of 100k in this community, well done - see you at the next milestone!
Explanations don't get any better than this. Simple, yet effective.
None of your videos have advertisements? As much as I hate adds I wish you were making money off these! Keep up the great work!
They definitely do have ads! Maybe you've got adblock?
On a iPhone so no add block here, so that’s pretty weird. When they decide to show up I’ll have to click on a few too see what great companies your advertising! Hahah
Finally! Now I know what torque is exactly!
Thank you.
my favorite channel so far
Great video man
One of the best persons to expalin f1 and engineering stuff
The animations in this video were the best so far! Extremely helpful!.
Congrats on 100k!
I agree with the other commenters, F1 aside this is the sing,e most useful animation I’ve ever seen for the relationship between torque and power and what the words really mean. The sounds effects and the animated graph are incredibly intuitive and useful. Keep it up!
Great vid. Very intuitive. For those confused, the ratio 1:3 is the differential. This can change alot however.
Is a differential universally known?
Using simple yet informative animations is really helpful as studying this all theoreticaly can cause some confusions, thanks!
Amazing explanation!... I can't say more just because I can't think of any more congratulating words... You are brilliant!
