2014 F1 Engine - ERS - Explained

im excited for this year the last couple years have been boring.. say what u want f1 lost money and thats a point proven.. now that they have sold i hope atleast they try a v8 turbo or something in the future

I really appreciate you, man. Lol

so the MGU-H is also basicaly driven by a shaft so its kinetic energy and not by heat energy somehow transfered into eletricity? why is it called "heat"?

Great videos Jason. Thanks!

I hate the sound of the new F1 cars they sound like vacuum cleaners.

Why they call it "MGU-Heat"? It is not a thermoelectric generator, right?

As an engineer, I loved this changes. For me, F1 is not about speed. Indy cars' top speed are higher than the F1's. So, for me, F1 is about the latest technology of the auto industry. To see a motor of that size, producing that much power, that efficiently, just makes my eyes glow! Hope F1 brings more technology that will keep making us produce better and safer normal street cars.

And regulations are good, because it makes the teams more leveled. If not, it'll be like the UFC without weight categories.

Very good channel, btw!!! Keep the good work!!!

all those limits ...... thats why i dont like F1 give them some restrictions in the ccm give them some restrictions in size weight and zylinder amount that sould be it less more booring f1 cuz everybody got a different machine :D

K love how efficient they are!

The reason the FIA chose this spec was so that the manufacturers have a justification to spend the hundreds of millions on R&D that this sport demands. The NA V8s had stagnated in development and they aren't as relevant to the future vision of the likes of Mercedes, Renault and Honda who want to transfer these technologies into their future road cars.

Great perspective on the new restrictions!

Sure, its clever, but the ERS is beating around the bush out of internalized political-correctness, though pencil necks call that "efficiency"


The basic fact is this: there is no substitute for displacement and there never will be. Again, turbos, electricity, its all half-measures: there is no substitute for displacement.

wow f1 just went sjw feminist retarded

@Engineering Explained triple thumbs up for explaining. thanks.
but is there any references for calculating their energy recovered and efficiency??? it is for an assignment. ^^

Hey Jason! I've been keeping up with formula one, and there are rumors about teams using homogenous charge compression ignition. Can you do a video that explains what that is and why it increases efficiency, in a way that even my brain can understand? Thanks!!

When entering corner, the MUG-K electric motor apply a magnet to the crank hence brakes the wheels and recover the energy to the store. When exit corner, the store send power to MUG-H and let it spins the turbo then increase the torque instantly for faster acceleration. It is called anti lag system.

I have long been fascinated in ways to get more fuel/air into an internal combustion engine and at the same time to allow it to spin faster.
Lately I have been interested in engine efficiency as well as torque/hp. I have wondered what changes can be easily made to a Detroit/Nippon/Euro daily drive to allow it to get more bang out of the squirt of petrol going to the cylinder.
I saw some of your vids comparing short intakes vs stock and also low restriction intakes vs stock with respect to performance. Your charts implied but did not say how do these mods effect torque (lower end specs) and hp (higher end specs). Those charts were very telling in that they pretty much revealed that the engineers had designed the best ALL AROUND intake configuration for your Accura.
Do you have any vids that address efficiency @ 2,500 to 3,500 rpm to yield the greatest travel per petrol cc or MPG at highway speeds in any general Detroit/Nippon/Euro daily drive?

i like the way there so efficient but id love to see a race with no regulations, just to see how fast people can make a car

Do spectators go to races to see efficiency, or do they go to see speed?
