Machines | F1 Engine - Explained

How do F1 engines work? What are the differences between a Formula One engine and a normal car engine? In this video I give a basic overview of F1 engines, and talk about some of the things that separate them from your everyday daily driver's engine. One major difference is in the valvetrain, F1 engines have used pneumatic valves, which I will go over. NOTE: Volumetric efficiency of over 100% is possible in naturally aspirated engines, thought it is not necessarily common in everyday road cars.

Great explanations!
-
The nitrogen charged valve is news to me.
I did not know that.
Learned something new =) -
air in the oil system is fine
-
f1 is not v12 ?
-
Thanks man.
-
Engines like these can actually reach over 100% volumetric efficiency due to pulse tuning. Most talked aobut being the Cosworth v8 which has somewhere around 125% at 20k rpm or so. Maybe an idea for a video? Lol
-
Cool video. The hole above the head is for a cold air intake to keep iats as low as possible.
-
why cant we use solenoid kind of actuators to operate the valves
-
what? warmer air is at the bottom 6:55? warm air rises, colder denser air is at the bottom, hence why during fires you crawl on the floor because warm less dense air will rise.
-
so what kind of mpg are those cars getting ?

At the end, pik of Ferrari engine, I notice the fuel injector seems a long way out of the inlet tract, just seems strange. I can only assume once the system is running the air flow takes the fuel mist down with it. I would guess any cylinder with a backfire would cause a huge fire. I know the injector doesn't squirt directly into a cylinder but these do seem a long way from the inlet tract.

hard to understand why cars cannot rev high without complicated systems and motorcycles can.

Two lines that cross and continue vertically and horizontally (X, or horizontal axis & Y, or vertical axis) beyond the intersection are considered "perpendicular". Also, perpendicular lines do not have to continue beyond the intersection to be considered perpendicular, but for the sake of precise description they should be in a true X, Y position. When an angle is applied to either or both continuing line[s] they are considered to be "Intersecting Lines". In the case of a V8 engine where the lines do not continue it might better be considered a "Diagonal" configuration rather than perpendicular. -
u don't explain anything, hang your head in shame
-
Espanish legends please !
-
Against closely reception camera.
-
thank you very much that helped a lot in my engineering studys
-
this guy is a genius. imagine what a face to face conversation with him would be like?! I think he should make a video of him building a potato cannon
-
So the engine is just as efficient as they can make it.
Please
