I designed the Koolbox Chill!! Happy to see it get a mention here. We did a lot of work to bring the price down, and drastically improve the performance (>30% more cooling than previous generation, with less power consumption). This little box will blow a healthy amount of air into your helmet at up to about 30 degrees F lower than the ambient temperature. It is personal AC that weighs 6 lbs, has no coolant, literally the only moving parts are two fans. The technology was originally developed for the space shuttle program. The Chill is a bargain at $2k.

The more air you blow over the hot side, the more heat you transfer away, and the colder the cold side gets. They are less power efficient than a standard two-phase heat exchanger, but save weight by not having a heat transfer fluid and compressor.

The cool box systems aren't technically air conditioning systems. NASCAR rules do not allow for any pressurized gasses on the race car. And an additional note about the tape on the grilles, the teams know EXACTLY what will happen if they cover a certain number of holes on the grille. They can adjust how the front turns with this tape. You can hear crew chiefs call out on pit stops, "2 holes of tape" and that will have a dramatic affect of the overall handling.

The cars do have AC, they often don't use it so they can allocate the power elsewhere. Several drivers got heat sickness at the 600 last week

Reallly

while i'm not a HUGE fan of nascar, i do appreciate the tech they use in those cars. the only nascar race i've ever been to was the talladega 500 back in 1985. back then the race cars were much closer to their production counterparts. also, i remember some years ago how a nascar car was put up against another type of race car (i'm thinking some european type, maybe a le mans car, cant' really remember) and they raced them around an oval track. many people said the le mans(?) car would kill the nascar car due to its higher level of technology. but the nascar car wound up winning. when asked how, the nascar guys said something like, "it's a brick, but it's a very streamlined brick" (can't remember the exact quote). but the real reason was the nascar car was built for a singular purpose, to go fast around an oval. while the other car was not. sure the other car was plenty fast, but it was built to be fast on road courses/street circuits.

I was at the very first Talladega 500 race way back in 1968 I believe. I was like 7 years old...lol.....We sat in the infield and my mother wouldnt let me out of the car. The sights were unbelievable what people actually did in the infield back then. Alot of Debauchery !

Not a big fan of anything NASCAR or related but I have always loved great engineering, technology and innovation. Cheers for this great information package.

This is my favorite content on youtube! I dont much watch circle track or drag racing but the tech in the pits and the question "WHY?" is what I pay admission for, I can spend more time wondering pits than the event lasts. I love that you cover the basics as well when going how it all works. Many things are so elementary that no one ever talks about them and people who are not formally trained miss all those facts! KEEP THIS UP!

good info, very interesting stuff. pretty cool to get an inside glimpse. thanks, and keep it up!

Steph this is so cool. Thank you for sharing all this! All of your videoes amazes me.

I’d always wondered how they kept the engines running so hot, and in hindsight, the pressure answer makes a lot of sense, but it hadn’t ever crossed my mind. Great video!

Cool ! thanks for sharing !

I think everyone needs to give Nascar a chance if you haven't watched a race in a while. The new package Nascar has come out with this year has produced a lot of amazing racing all season long. The sport went through a long slump, but I promise you it is coming back strong. The Coca-Cola 600 last weekend was probably the best Coca-Cola 600 ever seen, much like the racing at Kansas a couple weeks ago. This season we've seen the closest racing we've seen consistently since the glory days of the 90's - mid-2000's. Turn on a race one Sunday afternoon, you may be in for a pleasant surprise if you haven't watched the sport for awhile.

Good job👍👍👍👍

Great video, great information.

Priceless informations ❤️

Loved it!

Thanks Stephan, your videos are always super-interesting and informative. The closest thing we’ve got to NASCAR here in Australia is Supercars ... and having said that, they’re really nothing alike at all. If you ever manage to get down here and catch a race it would be great to hear what you think about our home-grown format.

Thank you for the info. Now I know a little bit more. Thank you once again...

Great info. Never been a fan of Nascar but this makes it much more interesting.

iv bn a racing fan for over 30 yrs, NASCAR nhra IMSA F1 Indy, idrc...etc. true facts, some are older technology vastly improved, great work! go AEM yellow Civic!!!

Awesome video. I really had no clue about the high engine and oil temps they had to deal with. I do love the crew guy at the end getting all curious about the filming lol. NASCAR is pretty competitive so any tiny secret or advantage they figure out is under lock and key and heavily guarded. On the contrary, drifting is a bit more relaxed being the cars have fewer restrictions and are usually very different to begin with. I’m always curious about different ends of the industry and any possible thing one discipline could learn/benefit from another discipline. Like maybe some of the drift guys could beef up their cooling systems like the stock car guys to cope with the heavy abuse and high temps to have added reliability and more time between cooldown without fear of overheating.

Great info👍

So much complexity being pulled out of such a simple race. Very cool.
