Mad props to the guys in charge of the 3D animation, it looks amazing

Is there any Formula E car with Pull-rod suspension? It would be interesting to see how they design different systems.

Awesome models, great video. I know there was a Race School video on aero, but can you guys do a video on the FE cars' aerodynamics?

Great shout. Will ask the designer nicely. Here's the full playlist if you haven't seen them already: kzread.info/head/PLiSlrzIEN5WJtAkYFfcrTEPiDJ7uxJ8q8

I wish they would have shown it in action. I don't understand how the up and down movement is transferred to front to back movement.

Basically, when the tire moves up, it moves the pushrod towards the center of the car. Imagine the rocker as a circle, with the pushrod pushing the right side, making the rocker turn counterclock. the springs are at the other end, resisting the counter clock motion. --------0 ......000 ...........| ...........|

Ohhhhh, I think I get it now. Kinda like how the crankshaft and connecting rods attached to the pistons convert the up and down movement to circular movement right? But in this case the up and down movement is converted to tensioned back and forth movement?

Fast forward to 2:00 for up close look and the system in action

where can a team order the blade style swaybar ? having a hard time finding someone that manufactures these

ok sir

I might be missing something, but doesnt this miss out on heave? or do we ignore heave because we never approach the sort of speeds where aero loads are sufficient to require heave dampers/springs? we're not dealing with warp due to regulations, but I can't see why we wouldn't add a third element.

I need to design one for my R53...

Wowww, I'm flattered by the mechanical geniusness. If you know what I mean! 😅

Done change the fact that Formula E is lame

yeah thats all fine and good but what about fanboost? how can we use it to improve the suspension?

I cannot wait until the day that they remove fanboost so that I can finally stop talking about how much it sucks.

It would be realllly nice if they just made it boost. Like, a boost meter. With no fans attached.

Appletank8 nope. No Boost at all...and also no DRS

how can the car cushion with this angle from the shock absorber? Pls Explain it

Load is transferred via the rocker on the push rod

I don't get it how is the vertical motion of the wheeks converted to horizontal load on the shocks.

@@mikamika9781 i still can't visualize it. J've seen rockers in other orientation but these ones are almost horizontally oriented. I'm struggling to see how lifting the wheels will move in the direction that will make the rocker rotate

how do those rockers convert the vertical forces into horizontal forces?! someone please fucking explain it to me!

Felipe Massa did not like this video 😆😆😆😆😆😆.
