Believe in JESUS today, confess and repent of your sins. No one goes to heaven for doing good but by believing in JESUS who died for our sins. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(John 3:16)❤️😎

Make sure you design the oil filter to go in an easy spot on the engine for us and not in-between the exhaust manifold. 😆🔥🔥🔥

I'm happy to see Richard, Jeremy and James are doing much more than top gear or the grand tour they are filming now. These guys are very well versed and have a great sense of humor but all that truly shines when they are all together. If they teamed up to film a series about dust busters or something else(like a series about the writings of Shakespeare) I would absolutely watch it lol

Would be nice to see Hammond's take on the modern F1 hybrid propulsion mosters. To hear him explain the heat machine and the kinetic machine (mpu-k). Or maybe to hear him explain all the machinations going on about the 2021 rules for F1. He is an amazing science communicator.

How have I never heard of this series before...?! 😯 This is genuinely amazing 😘

Got me me tearing up 4 years after this tribute. Excellent job by Jeremy and the Top Gear crew...

I just gotta say thank you Mr. Hammond for all the entertainment you have provided. Your a treasure Sir.

Connections, with James Burke is an iconic series. This is a fine expansion into automotive tech, by a very capable and engaging presenter.

I wish more of these kind of shows existed. This has to have been filmed in the mid to late 2000's.

Very nicely done. Very practical demos of technical concepts behind F1 cars.

The outcome of the Winkelhock crash is one of racing history's sheer wonders.

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.

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!

Richard is always put in awesomely interesting documentaries

28:00 An impressive demonstration. To put it into a further perspective, say the steel rod is for car or truck X, what would be the expected torque it would see on normal day to day loads before it's breaking point of 1200?

There are a lot more documentaries in this series. Please upload more of them. I just love Engineering connections.

I hope people do realise that you cant sail directly into the wind, you can only sail very close to it. It also depends massively on hull and weight, and sail size.

I am studying Mechanical Engineering from a respectable University and I can confirm that I learnt more from this 50 min video than what I learn from a 50 min lecture.

Interesting I thought the principle of how cannons work & the connection or the similarity to how engine's work was pretty cool !

Always enjoy your videos. Very educational.

Now to see how fast it goes around our track. Which means handing it over to our tamed racing driver. Just the best moments of top gear.

Great documentary. Very informative.

I like how Hammond basically stands in front of a barrel for half this documentary... #typicalhammond

12:23 If an ordinary car makes about 200 horsepower I have apparently never owned an ordinary car. My current record is 109.

Man, Richard, Jeremy, and James are the best at everything.

In 1990's I remember watching on TV, Michael Schummacher's team changed tires in 3 seconds or less. Only De la Rosa's team use to take 8 seconds.

I´m so happy they filmed this with a high rev engine this sound is godlike

Hamster! The bit about them being fitted together when they’re warm is pretty wild. Love this deep dive into f1

Richard’s massive steps when he counts out metres gave me a chuckle

34:50 "If you watch Formula 1, you'll know this is exactly the type of thing that can happen in a racing situation" An arrow hitting a fuel tank? Wow, i didn't know Formula 1 was such a medieval event :D Edit: Ah, after talking about the crossbow ban at races, he said "Well obviously not an arrow but a sharp object". That's better^^

Richard Hammond is awesome. Thumbs up for Richard :D

"It's really not the type of device to catch your tie in, is it?" If prizes were awarded for clever understatements that would win hands down.

Fascinating stuff, brilliant documentary.

This is one of those documentaries that you can't stream on a walk. You miss too much.

i love how when f1 cars move it looks like a normal car in fast forward much like old campy movies

Keep making this, you are incredibly talented

This should have been made with a 2008 one. That's the farthest the engineering has gone behind such a thing imo

It was nice to see that old green Lotus F1 car again. Even though it was slow and crap in real life, I have a big soft spot for it. It was the car I "raced" in on the old F1 games from 2009/10 and I fell in love with it. (won 3 world championships in it too, despite it being one of the 2 cars in the game that didn't have KERS lol)

I wonder if Richard Hammond was a fan James Burke? They can bring together modern marvels and a historic Connection. Just great shows👍

This is absolutely fascinating

God I love the sound of that engine...and Hammond

With the windage and the pistons in the cannon, how much difference would be made if the smaller one had its rings fitted?

Richard has the best work ever

They have added the crackling sound during the pulling of the bow. If your wooden bow EVER makes a sound like that, you are in a MUCH bigger danger than the enemy you are shooting at. It might just shatter any moment.

Absolutely loved this, great upload.

Thank god the video was shot in the good era of F1!

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.

I think it's amazing that those cars have to have warm oil injected into the engine just to start them.

These programs are excellent. Should be oriented for viewing by children.

The way they explained the aerodynamics of an f1 wing was strange. It's actually the same wing airplanes use but reversed, instead of lift, it creates down force. They didn't have to talk about sailing to explain it

sailing boats areolder than airplanes,so it makes a better impression on the spectator to connect it with sailing boats.also they are much much slower,for increased effect.if you compare it with airplanes is like:meeeeh,a wing is cooler than a spoiler,even if it is an F-1 spoiler. you are right,but not,if it makes sense.

Well done and, to my surprise, it kept my attention. 👍

He's right. Of Course. I had to throw two cinder blocks in my trunk to keep my car from spinning out in the rain. (One over each tire.) I was 17. Too much engine in the front in the eighties.

Before turbo hybrid era, sub ten second pit stops were called fast. Now we get worried when our favourite team takes more than 2.5 seconds.

Did you see those carbon fiber driveshafts? There is a video on youtube, that shows what happened to a golf club (made out of the same stuff) that got hit by a lightning bolt. The golf club was instantly reverted back to a bunch of loose and floppy black carbon threads.

Pure video heaven for me, love this stuff.

What an excellent piece.

i wish F1 still sounded like that

"and the only punctures they have to worry about are in the tyres" *[grosjean has entered the chat]*

Richard looks rly different rn. Even a year ago it doesnt look like him

24:50 technically, carbon fiber is very stiff but not very tough. Meanwhile, fiberglass isn't very stiff, but it is very tough.

Im surprised they didn't mention the silicon carbide brake discs

The second arrow didn't have a sharp point, it was a blunt end.

This is such a better show than his "big"...but hes a smart guy it must be hard to play dumb at times.
