However, there are good science and engineering textbooks that show you examples with real and practical situations, in fact when I have to take a new course I try to choose the option that most offers those characteristics, obviously they'll never be like one of these episodes in this kind of series, but it's a start. Then you can complement what you learn in the uni textbook with content like this or real life experiences.

Correction. When an internal combustion engine is cold, the pistons have a SMALLER diameter compared to a warmed engine. The risk isn’t a too tight piston, the risk is the piston may wobble in the cylinder and cause damage. Also a piston is “cam ground” meaning the part of the piston with more material “wrist pin” is smaller diameter than the other parts of the piston. This way when the engine is warmed, the piston is as close to a perfect circle as possible.

@billiecook97

Жыл бұрын

thats what you'd think, but in fact the video is correct, it just doesnt explain fully why. you are correct that materials expand when heated, but because the piston and the engine block are different materials, they have different thermal expansion properties. so when cold, the engine block could shrink *more* than the piston, meaning a too tight fit. the engine is designed to run at a certain running temperature, so its only at this temperature that the piston and block have a snug fit. Hope this explains this!

Agree!

Summary: 1. High-efficiency engines are made from very high-precision mechanical engineering feats, creating pistons and cylinders that fit very tightly. This gives the car a whopping speed of 360 KPH only with a 2.4 engine! 2. Aerodynamics are the most important part of the car engineering. Increasing the car's weight by increasing the downward force on it around corners helps pinning it down. Else it would take off. This is achieved using the flaps of the car. On the other hand, flaps create a problem too: flaps increase the weight and slow the speeds on straight tracks. For this, flaps can be opened / closed from within the car by the driver. 3. For creating the fuel tank, they use Kevlar. Kevlar is a very strong material. It is at least 5 times stronger than steel. It is flexible and strong at the same time without being hard and stiff.. It is used in bulletproof vests too. Now, the tank can endure such strong forces and is pierceproof too. 4. Carbon fiber is used to create the body of the car. It is 3 times stronger than steel and very very very light-weight at the same time. It is really amazing too see a multi-million dollor piece of tech just flying around the race track.

Great documentary. Very informative.

why do documentaries never go into detail... so many times there was opportunity to really explain something. Could have been interesting for example to discuss the difference in failure of the drive shafts, it seemed the steel yielded and distorted because it's more malleable whereas the carbon (was a brittle failure?) had very little yielding before breaking. I could have easily watched another hour or five with indepth discussion about each concept.

agree, would be interesting too see more documentary on carbon fiber vs steel. On this topic, Carbon fiber also is much safer when it fails. Steel bends like that and still caries all the force even in that state. While carbon fiber breaks and with that break takes all the force from the shaft reducing the aftereffects of the failure.
