      Their clutches responded way later than what they are supposed to at the start. A F1 clutch has to respond fully in 100ms, the Alfas need more than 300ms and because the job of a clutch is to transfer energy to the gear it could have been used as a sort of traction control as the Alfa drivers didn't have to battle with as much power at the start because the clutch wasn't transfering as much power to the gear as it notmally would

    I absolutely love these videos. I learn more in these videos than I ever did in tech school. I can take a car completely apart and put it back together with nothing but torque specs. But anyone can put legos together, right? These videos make it all come full circle and make what I am doing make sense. Especially in performance. You can slap on whatever expansive parts you want and the guy with the stock car still pass you on every pull/turn. Building a car that is actually fast, takes a full understanding of what you are doing to the car. I already know how these things work but you make it go farther than that.

  • @y_fam_goeglyd
    @y_fam_goeglyd Před 4 lety

    It's stunning that the drivers, whilst flinging their car around tight corners, overtaking etc., can be adjusting their diffs, increasing power, moving the brakes forward or backwards... So much for them just being the 5th nut attached to a wheel! They must have brains like PhD engineers to know exactly how to compensate for a given situation, and within the tiniest of timespans.

  • @ThZuao
    @ThZuao Před 4 lety

    There's a great 1940s GM video explaining very meticulously how a differential works.
    I feel a key part to explaining how a limited slip differential works was left out.
    They use a system of clutches. Electronically controlled ones simply press the clutches more or less depending on the electronic control input. There are mechanical ones that react to the body roll of the car and the ones that have a preset limit where they'll always send a minimum ammount of power to either axle. Good for dirt racing.
    Differentials are also used to split the power between the front and back axles in 4WD cars. They're called "split differentials" and are are usually of the preset limit kind, generally send significantly more power to one of the axles.
    Send more power to the front axles and you get an FF car minus the the understeer tendency if properly tuned. Send it to the ones in the back and you get an FR car minus the oversteer. Setting up a split differential can greatly improve or greatly harm a car's stability.
    F1 are all MR, so they don't have that kind of thing. But they are pretty much standard in Turismo, Endurance and Rally cars.

    This is the first time I've actually understood an a basic dummed down level of how a differential mechanically functions. I always knew why they were there; but conceptually understanding how a basic differential works was for some reason always hard for me. You should do a video on all different type of diffs. Like the ones used in rock crawling and how they can change this kind of stuff from the drivers seat with some simple knobs or other type of easy control. Thanks for the vid again! I always understood what they do, but not HOW they do what they do. To anyone who comments back saying just read a textbook, I'm a mechanically inclined nut I'm an M.D. who shamelessly lost the ability pick up certain concepts without good visualization. Keep the videos coming! I love the work you do.
