About the golf ball effect thing, there's probably several reasons we don't see it on cars or planes. On cars: 1. It's a lot harder (and more expensive) to manufacture and maintain. 2. You really only need the turbulent flow at the back of the car, which you can produce using the little fins that a lot of cars have at the back. 3. I'm guessing a lot of people wouldn't like the look. On planes: 1. You're seriously going to mess up the lift. Ice on wings can have the same effect, and has resulted in a few crashes.

But also when going through high winds and especially rain the dimples would create a lot of turbulance which will translate into vibrations.

They are actually used on aircraft.... sort of, we have things called vortex generators which are used to prevent airflow seperation in specific strategic areas of the wings which can improve stall characeristics. The reason you don't see dimples is that they are harder to build and might compromise the integrity of a pressurised fuselage or add additional unwanted weight, you also have to account for the fact that the fuselage of an aircraft is usually highly tapered at the back meaning that the airflow is much less likely to seperate and create a low pressure zone in the first place so the airflow just doesn't need to stick as well

The big factor here is time and amount consumed. When you combine beer and liquour you tend to drink more alcohol in a shorter time frame, thus raising your BAC faster. If the evening is the same length as well you end up drinking a larger amount than you would otherwise, thus leading to this idea that mixing your drinks is a bad idea. They were approaching this from the wrong angle really, a better thing to determine is whether taking shots in addition to their regular drinking would cause them to overestimate or underestimate how much they can reasonably tolerate.

It probably also would've made more sense to people watching to translate the alcohol they drank into standard drinks. I don't know about in the US, but here in Australia, any alcoholic drink must have the alcohol percentage and the number of standard drinks in the bottle/can. Eg: a rum and coke can is normally 1.6-1.8 standard drinks. This is easier to then translate into how many standard drinks are in the beer and shots, which are usually not marked or mentioned in a bar.

So interesting watching a show you grew up with and even though it doesn’t feel that long ago, seeing the old technology looks ancient. Box TVs, camcorders, dvd player.

We don’t have dimples on aircraft, we have vortex generators and slats which do the same thing. Keep the boundary layer as close to the surface as possible as long as possible.

I don't think Grant was an alcohol drinker, that means the difference between the first time in a long time getting hammered and the second time is massive. You build a certain tolerance for it. I think beer giving a worse feeling is because just drinking multiple liters in such a short time is sickening in itself. I think the myth comes from the difference in the consumption. You can very easily down a few shots, but if you're on your 10th beer you naturally go slower. Most people as a result drink more when drinking hard liqour than just beer, thus resulting in an idea that liqour gives worse hangovers

i'm seriously surprised seeing the dimple thing did indeed such a sizable effect in drag reduction. because unlike a golf ball which is under a low turbulent regime (Re=O(5)) so that the laminar-turbulent transition hugely shrinks the wake, flow around a car at highway speed is already highly turbulent (Re=O(7)) and making it more turbulent wouldn't really help. but i suppose it still contributes working as a vortex generator and similarly energizing the bl to keep the flow attached. ofc the effect cannot be as dramatic as a golf ball but 11% was still more than i expected. perhaps ''07 taurus doesn't have quite good aerodynamics in the first place, so that there's yet room for improvement with slight modifications

I would have been thrilled to drink for science in my early twenties. Now that I've hit mid-thirties, you'd have to pay me quite handsomely for the same effort.

11 cans of beer? I'm hungover after just 3 cans

When I quit alcohol, I tried non-alcoholic beer a few times and was astounded that I felt just as hungover the next day. It’s clearly not the alcohol content alone which causes the hangover. I can drink far more as straight spirits than as beer, which leads me to think that I’ve underestimated how much I’ve drunk on liquor or mixed drinks vs just beer.

That's why Bugatti developed dimpled air scoop at the Bolide's roof. Clever.

Drunk Grant is funny Grant.

My impression was that "beer before liquor" referred to if you start drinking liquor after already being drunk you're going to drink more since you're already intoxicated and therefore have a bigger hangover.

I've got a 30 year old Opel Calibra, a Coupe that had one of the best aerodynamics in its time (and still today). With my motorization of 170 hp, the car has a top speed of 147 mph. In the moment, this old car has a mileage of pretty exactly 24 mpg, (no winter, mixed traffic). Not too bad for that age... Ant that means that on a free autobahn, speeds of 90-110 mph, had him on 130 once, way not the end, but 30 years and 85,000 miles, take it easy. And on a straight course like that, with a constant 65 mph, I am pretty sure the 29 mpg of that dimpling would be achieveable without problems. Hmm.... what has improved in the last 30 years?

If you are on PC click this --> 24:32 and pause Then move frame by frame by pressing "." or "," repeatedly. The way in which Grant clumsily raises the leg rest and Tory trips into it lol.

That golf ball car is awesome! Fair play to them for going through SUCH a chore to get that done. It'd look even better with white clay, it'll look like a golf ball on wheels then 🙃😅 Absolutely shocked about the affect it has on the aerodynamics too, damn...

RIP Grant, i think the liver also has a better condition after a few days of drinking and you body is able to remove the alcohol faster

I'm curious about how many days were between the first session of drinking and the second one. Because in my own experience, whenever I have a heavy drinking night after a fairly reasonable amount of time not drinking (around a month or so) Not only I got myself more easily wasted and with less amount of alcohol, I've always had the most horrible, disabling hangover. But if I have another heavy drinking session sooner after the first one (days or less than 2 weeks after) I can really feel a lot of tolerance overalls. Then, the next day the hangover last until around midday, and if I drink a lot of water is completely bearable.

Been great watching these again , RIP Grant

Ah the good old days!

Lmao, 😂 Just think about when you throw up and the test is over. 🤢 🤮

A great example of golf effect on cars Is the black lether roof of Nascar, the ones that have it was faster than the others without it

Just don't get drunk with beer or wine. Worst headache ever. If I plan to get wasted I simply stick to scotch with coke and the only symptom after is being tired.

The logical consequence would have been to take this car as is, and take it into a full-.size wind tunnel and EXACTLY analyze the airflow. A smooth surface causes a smooth (laminar) airflow with little drag, But such an airflow is sensitive against small disturbances, pressure changes, or following a shape. Then the airflow "delaminates", seperates from the surface, and then causes large turbulent areas creating a lot of drag. A rough surface creates a basic turbulent boundary layer on the surface. This as such has a higher basic drag coefficient than the laminar airflow. But it is more "robust" against the above disturbances, so follows a surface better. So it may be that the dimples at some points improved the airflow, probaby at the rear window. I am pretty sure that the spoiler wing on the trunk is absolutely useless. It will not produce less drag, and in these the additional downforce it creates on the rear axyle is caused by the weight of the wing and not by aerodynamic forces.

Actually it does but if you look at nature, you'll notice that animals that also benefit from reduced drag don't have huge dimples like golf balls, instead they have rough surface made of out tiny overlapping sheds. The typically example for that is the skin of a shark. And guess what? Some airlines have been testing covering their planes with transparent foils with such a structure and yes, that did work very well. Lufthansa started to cover their airplanes with such a foil in 2023. It's called AeroSHARK. Just search for it if you are interested in details. But if that effect has been known for so long and successful tests have already been done years ago, why did it take so long before airlines started doing it? Well, safety is paramount when flying (except when we are talking about Boeing) and long-term studies had to ensure that such foils do not pose a safety risk. I mean, what if they could have come loose during storms and then such a foil was sucked into the engine? What if these foils had massively worsened the flight behavior in turbulence? What if water holds much stronger on these films and then freezes into thick sheets of ice as soon as the outside temperature falls below a certain level? There were a number of questions that had to be clarified before flight safety authorities could even give their approval.

The thing with beer is that the concentration of alcohol is really low compared to liquor. In order to consume the same amount of alcohol as with one shot if strong liquor you have to drink a lot of it, when you load your stomach with so much liquid combined with the alcohol it will make your stomach more upset. I always found that drinking liquor alone is way better than even beer with liquor.

Also, the carbonation of beer makes you build up a lot of gas in your guts, making it even worse when it comes to nausea.

I still feel they didn’t do the Golfball car right. The reason the Golfball has dimples everywhere is since it will rotate. But for the car you just want it near the back where you need the effect. So dimples just above the rear window and on the trunk.

The myhdirth would be applied while driving, different from spraying it on. Also I would believe the clay should increase the area of the car giving less fuel efficency while the weight lowered the car giving better fuel efficency.

why didnt they dimple half the car and see if it pulls to one side LOL!

Pretty sure the weight of the dirt will negate whatever fuel efficiency improvements you might get from it

65-55=10mph smaller and 55 is about max economy, so same fuel use with clay is anticipated.

12:13 would love this

03:38 What a missed opportunity of, instead of choosing a random 65, pick 88MPH.

😂 Epic car experiment. But there are a few problems with the alcohol experiment: alcohol neutralizing enzymes level rises after alcohol consumption, so their level might have been higher after the 1st test, so the alcohol in the 2nd test was neutralized faster, easing the hangover. Also, they didn't say they controlled for water consumption. Lastly, as every experiment involving humans, it should've been double-blind (not feasible here), to remove bias.

It really bothers me that they didn’t just do the clean car test first.

I was a bit confused by that to.

Never let these two near any alcohol.

As far as I understand it, you actually want your car to be smpoth, but only have the point of separation (and a bit up the wind stream) in prder to reduce the drag. Or you can optimize the dimples for a specific speed so the turbulence is just right, then you can coat the entire front of the car sp it gets no flow drag over its surface.

I think, when it comes to the liquor+beer test, it's strictly about the fact, that human organism may absorb different alcoholic beverages in different rates. The tests before they went to sleep showed that they felt much more sober on liquor+beer than on beers only. Without the restrictions of the test, normal person would consume much more alcohol, because they'd feel fine for longer period of time.

Not only the dimpled car has a smaller and smoother wake, but look at the frontal and upper area. Less pressure over the hood, which is another turbulent, high pressure spot and causes the dreaded wind noise. I would gladly buy a dimpled car, no matter what the neighbours say. The result of this experiment should have shocked the automotive industry. Imagine having a dimpled surface but without all the extra weight of the clay. Even more efficient than the test.

They should have tested their hangover after drining only liquor. As for the golf ball effect, 11% might be a huge difference for some, like lorries and goods transport. I wonder how that would work on train running off electricity, as well as for eletric vehicles. Actually, especially for those being given their poorer range.

Imagine doing a bunch of alcohol drinking tests and your phrase and premise is incorrect from the start. The real phrase is: "Beer BEFORE Liquor: You'll never be sicker. Liquor BEFORE Beer: You're in the clear." the phrase is order of drinking not whether mixing alcohol is worse.
