can i ask, underbody diffuser cover around which area ?? airflow tunnel such as venturi effect does it cover
i didnt see water passages- how do they keep cool
10:19 al tener dos de los tres amortiguadores en posición diagonal y no completamente horizontal, podemos emplear una idea similar al sistema de amortiguadores TrueActive de Multimatic. Si bien es verdad que seguimos manteniendo el fluido magnetoreológico en contraposición a el mecanismo de orificios variables que tiene este sistema, la idea que copiamos es la tuerca y el perno de baja fricción que permiten retraer o expandir el eje del amortiguador, para levantar o bajar cada una de las 4 esquinas del coche de forma independiente y mucho más rapido que una suspensión neumática.
Is MSHD a good wing profile for timeattack?, i use that profile on my car, we have a lot of "slow" small technical track here in sweden i have built it in 2 versions.. one 180cm x 47cm chord, and the one i use now, a 180 x 25cm chord.
ok so why cars dont simply use active aero either to be manually overiden when need to go super fast/straight so for overtaking or going on long straight and then setting it half way for low curves and then pumping it up for heavy curves or it can be connected to speed / tracktion controll or even gps for tracks...this could be done automatic by some system or simply by a lever operated by pilot as flaps on a plane
KAAAABOOOM ... my mind just blew up. I need to rethink my whole Drone building project ... BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD !!! Thank you🏆🏆🏆🏆
I know this an old video. But I figured I’d ask. Do you think it’s a benefit in using vortex generators like AirTab to be used on class 8 tractor trailers? Their advertising seems to say 5% efficiency increase, just by using vortex generators.
Hiya Kyle. Loved this video, and all of your videos, but I have no idea where to request videos. So, I will put it here. I would love to do an Aero analysis on the Adamastor Furia, which has a super interesting diffuser design. But anyways, thanks for making these videos, they have helped me a lot with developing my own aero knowledge. Thanks!
"Red Flag Red Flag!"
I think it would be cool to experiment with adding a rudder and aileron system to the diffuser in addition to this. They would be geared togethor and linked to the steering. The ailerons would tilt the car like a motorcycle and the rudder would work together with the shark fin like the keel and rudder system on a boat. It would also feature a double diffuser design to prevent stalling
LOL, the irony of the wing element falling out that said "Not a Skill Issue"! Surely that bit of humor wasnt lost on the team.
Oh no, it was immediately apparent the second we realised what flew off😂😂
which one more efficient venting a oil cooler in the front bumper side vent or venting the oil cooler to the fender vent? thank you
It's not very up to date but could you explain the blown diffusor in detail sometime? I'm building a rc car aerodynamic body and I want to include it into the design
what is the stupid course, why dont they put in on the go kart track or the south circuit?
Comedy gold Ev The battery went flat WHEN will folks realise thy are being scammed EVs have their place ( Ernie drove the fastest milk float in the west) and yes the linear torque is great BUT go back to the CBR 600 engines
I have an engine light on and doing a OBD test on "measuring blocks" I have a continuous switching lean to rich mixture but with a preponderant rich mixture. I also have a P0420 catalytic converter error. Solutions?
12:40 does he need a piss? 🤣🤣
Nice. I am pretty much "duck" footed. I brake with my heel and toe the throttle. Am I the only one?
"support the mechanical grip" *Can't decouple heave and roll* Um....Based on the feedback of the rear being very stable and the front kind of washing out, it seems as if they missed the mark on the front end of the car. Sure the aero works and it's with a low budget but it seems as though they didn't address the mechanical grip on the front end AFTER they accomplished the front aero packaging.
Great video
Something I’d really like to be verified is maybe going in depth on the video’s Julien Edgar makes he also study’s aerodynamics and as I’m trying to first start off with making my own devices for my cars I’m interested to learn what is right or wrong seeing as I don’t know much that can be hard to tell,
Wow. Great to see you go back to where it started! Blows me away to see what you've achieved since we were sitting in the lab gluing cardboardium alloy together more than a decade ago. Time flies!
They need track designers desperately.
RN its the best fucking video I could ever find
Very thoughtful design, a lot of sophistication at this level, and it looks like enormous fun to drive.
It would be interesting for you to have a look at the european full carbon monocoque 4WD torque vectoring cars. Cars like from Stuttgard, Zürich or Karlsruhe
Eventhought I've driven some FSAE cars, it ALWAYS amazes me how freaking quick they are. No mundane comercial car can come close in short tracks (most wouldn't even have the cornering radius necessary hahaha)
3d 3d not bad at work and
Bro was pretty nervous. Maybe cuz he was being interviewed by the best aerodynamicist in history.
Hi Kyle! Interesting video, love to hear about other teams design philosophies as a current FSAE team member on aero. I’m part of Spartan Racing at San Jose State University in CA. If you’re ever in the Bay Area in California, we’d love to set up a time for you to meet our team and drive our car!
I take it your arms and neck will ache a bit after an hour driving one of these hard?
Great video and learnt a heap from such an in depth look at what the guys were up to. You should look at doing some colabs with Mozzysails on the Americas Cup sail boats soon. It would be interesting to see your take on the boats noting the F1 interest in a number of the teams.
It was a pleasure to have you Kyle! Hope you had a good time driving RB23!
I have a motorcycle design CAD model (front fairing for a local motorsport event) and I need your advice on it.
Kyle on location! Cool seeing you go out to show us both grassroots formula racing and the real-world application of aero!
cool video. I do a lot OF autocross myself. you are turning too late btw. You need to early apex in autocross, in order to late apex. makes no sense right? but once you get it down, it makes sense. somethin a US SCCA nation AutoX champion taught me.
Would love to know what the entire aero package weighs and what the lap time would be without any bodywork
Full aero package weights 17kg. Lap time without bodywork is unknown as it is preferred to not run without bodywork for safety.
That is a Rotrex Supercharger (Centrifugal) actually. Ask me how i know. It is belt driven, not driven by electric motor.
Does the belt drive it or the electric motor that attached to the belt drive it?
you should look at UTA Racings unsprung aero system
hey kyle quick question. with mechanical grip being so key to performance, and with these cars needing to run so stiff, is there any scope for the use of a mass damper to be used to reduce bouncing ?
Put the aero in the bin. Dead weight at that speed. Come on guys !
The track says otherwise
Hey Kyle, thanks so much for coming and driving our car! Unfortunately I couldn't be there for the drive day, but I'm glad you enjoyed the car. We are all so incredibly proud of what the team achieved with that car last year. To take one of the smallest budgets in Australasia and score 2nd overall and finish as the top Australian team, with only our first running EV, was huge from the team. I'm personally incredibly proud of the aero team especially, they took on a huge scope and performed brilliantly. RB23 was designed as a whole system working together, and the team more than delivered, so I'm glad you liked it.
I'm very impressed with how sophisticated the students have been and the thoughtful design choice they've made. Incredibly cool project.
com,e to chicago america ill let u drive my sr3 sr10 sr3 xxr n mistral extreme <3< 3 plelase come i want to talk with you big fan like mr beast i for real let you drive race car pleaase
and spec miata
Go right, left, straight, don't die!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Planning for RPI’s team this fall
It's surreal to see my uni's FSAE sticker on the spoiler
Do you plan to visit the biggest FSAE Event in Europe? Particulary FSG. The difference of European to American cars should be interesting.
"interesting" is a good euphemism :)
Thanks
What do you make of the new Ferrari package, especially the new horns next to the cockpit? I can't quite figure those horn's contribution to the airflow and how the overall low and high pressures it creates will change the airflow downstream. I knew their effect is probably minor, but their shape just looks so interesting. I'd be especially grateful if you discussed how airflow is effected where two airfoils meet. How does the overall effect change if the airfoils have high pressure on the same side vs opposite sides and where do the vortexes actually shed from the structure? Are you going to make a video about the new aero updates for the cars? I'm very interested in what you make of the new Ferrari package, especially the new horns next to the cockpit. I can't quite figure those horn's contribution to the airflow and how the overall low and high pressures it creates will change the airflow downstream. It would be cool if you went over the McLaren updates as well before they bring when further updates later in the season.
