  • Formula 1 has truly ferocious brakes. With the MGUK added to the mix, sharing part of the braking load, this gives F1 some of the most technologically advanced brakes in the world.
    How do they work so well? What materials are involved? And how to they go wrong?

    *CORRECTIONS CORNER*:
    - I say "fluids" are incompressible but what I meant to say was "liquids" are incompressible as "fluids" includes liquids and gases (and some other matter states). Because my brain was saying "brake fluid" I accidentally used the word fluid instead of liquid.

      Enrique F No as that would be considered a driver aid hence why you see people locking up. ABS would stop that from happening.

      I'm sorry to inform you that even your correction is wrong. Liquids are compressible even more then you might think. A liquid like water will compress 10x easier than concrete and even 100x more then steel. (elastic modulus of water EV = 2.10^9 N/m2 )

      Liquids are *considered* incompressible is more accurate.
      We all know that they are in reality slightly compressible.

    Wow technology has progressed quickly. I can remember in the early years of f1 when the brake discs were pinched by real live clams. So when you wanted to slow the car you would yell at the clam and he would use his shell to pinch the disc. We called it "clamming on the brakes". Then they improved it so that instead of yelling at the clam, you would push a lever that struck a flint and lit a fire under him. We called that "brake by fire". And later on came the invention of having aquatic birds in there to blow air on the clams and those were "cooling ducks". Goggles Pizano won 11 races that year. Those were the days...

    • @JontysCorner
      @JontysCorner Před 6 lety +117

      An interesting side note to this is that as technology of road cars progressed without the competitive rules of F1, various forms of cooling were attempted for brakes with liquid cooling proving very effective when using melted butter; this in turn caused the term 'getting on the anchors' to become popular.

      And i thought they would roll a boulder from the side of the track in an attemt to "break" the car..... But you could imagine this would slowly stop the car if the boulder missed and another attempt had to be made... The factory sponsored F1 team , having more resources eliminated all other teams when they set up series of "breaking points" on the chassis and along the track with "break men " would have to "breakfast" for the first time

    • @andrewb378
      @andrewb378 Před 5 lety +11

      I'm not an expert on anything F1 at all but if I had to guess, I would say that it probably uses a thermoelectric generator of some kind. These are kind of like thermocouples but a bunch of them strung together. If you want to learn more about them, check out this whole webpage about them.
      powerpractical.com/pages/how-do-thermoelectrics-work
      You could use the heat of the brakes paired with the cold air rushing by to create a very strong temperature differential to create quite a bit of energy which you could put back into batteries or the like. However, because the video talks about the MGU-K actually doing some of the braking, I would guess this isn't how they do it in F1 because thermoelectric generators are a much more passive process than that would suggest. It's fun physics either way though.

    Was a very detailed description. Thank you for the very well curated content.
    Just one thing I'd like to point out, which is a suggestion and by no means criticism! Friction coefficient is not a property of a single material, but always a property of combination of materials/surfaces. For ex. rubber on ice and rubber on asphalt will exhibit very different properties. This can't obviously mean that rubber has two different friction coefficient values.
    Therefore you always specify friction coefficient between two surfaces :)

    Great channel and great episode. Typically when I seen a piston in a hydraulic system the mechanical advantage comes from a smaller piston (the input or foot on the pedal) being compressed at longer stroke while the output force being being larger than input, but the output stroke (ie linear distance traveled) smaller. Just a small detail.
    Also, it is alright to assume fluids are incomprehensible. Most people state it’s a compressible when it’s a gas.
