Formula 1 has truly ferocious brakes. With the MGUK added to the mix, sharing part of the braking load, this gives F1 some of the most technologically advanced brakes in the world.
How do they work so well? What materials are involved? And how to they go wrong?

*CORRECTIONS CORNER*: - I say "fluids" are incompressible but what I meant to say was "liquids" are incompressible as "fluids" includes liquids and gases (and some other matter states). Because my brain was saying "brake fluid" I accidentally used the word fluid instead of liquid.
i think there's a spoonerism in the mgu-k section
Chain Bear F1 is there ABS ON F1 CARS
Enrique F No as that would be considered a driver aid hence why you see people locking up. ABS would stop that from happening.
I'm sorry to inform you that even your correction is wrong. Liquids are compressible even more then you might think. A liquid like water will compress 10x easier than concrete and even 100x more then steel. (elastic modulus of water EV = 2.10^9 N/m2 )
Liquids are *considered* incompressible is more accurate. We all know that they are in reality slightly compressible. Great video, very instructive, love it !
Wow technology has progressed quickly. I can remember in the early years of f1 when the brake discs were pinched by real live clams. So when you wanted to slow the car you would yell at the clam and he would use his shell to pinch the disc. We called it "clamming on the brakes". Then they improved it so that instead of yelling at the clam, you would push a lever that struck a flint and lit a fire under him. We called that "brake by fire". And later on came the invention of having aquatic birds in there to blow air on the clams and those were "cooling ducks". Goggles Pizano won 11 races that year. Those were the days...
An interesting side note to this is that as technology of road cars progressed without the competitive rules of F1, various forms of cooling were attempted for brakes with liquid cooling proving very effective when using melted butter; this in turn caused the term 'getting on the anchors' to become popular.
And i thought they would roll a boulder from the side of the track in an attemt to "break" the car..... But you could imagine this would slowly stop the car if the boulder missed and another attempt had to be made... The factory sponsored F1 team , having more resources eliminated all other teams when they set up series of "breaking points" on the chassis and along the track with "break men " would have to "breakfast" for the first time
Are you high?
This is one of the very best threads on KZhead
oinka720 don’t do drugs kids.
I too giggled at the "obliviously named 'BBW'" comment. Love me some BBW
Alternative Tones what is bbw
@@christophermcneil8646 please nobody tell this man what BBW is, he's too innocent
@@christophermcneil8646 Child, you are yet to learn the true meaning of BBW
Equinox Quasar what is bbw I seriously dont know
@@christophermcneil8646 u dont have to know so soon, u will know eventually
You're painfully under subscribed. These video are fantastic.
i read that as painfully sober :o
297k subs😑
Pep sea this content is worth over 1 million
Yeah as someone who just got into F1 (although I use to watch it as a kid during the early 90's but with no real clue) these vids helped a lot. I actually enjoy F1 a lot more now and follow it religiously. The channel had a huge impact on that.
Thanks i just realized i did not sub for the past 3 weeks LOL
i didnt know i could be so amazed by a Video about brakes
Leddy I dont even watch f1 or any racing but i like his videos
@@therealest832 whatch the last 5 min of the last race to learn more about brakes 👌
You've (once again) perfectly explained a very complex part of the F1 universe, and I am (once again) indebted to you. Thanks a gazillion!
Gazelle
wow. Love those explainations! Please do more of this stuff!
I had no idea on the technical aspect of F1 until I came across your channel. You make it so simple and helpful to a person who wants to know about the technical bits of F1. You also make it sound so simple which if your talent. Keep up the great work Stuart.
I appreciate your work! Your animations are so on point and easy to understand. Thank you for helping someone who just recently got into F1!
The level of details, information and analysis you put in these videos is just impressive. Definitely the best F1-related channel on youtube! Keep up the awesome work!
Your video on crash barriers and its uses was excellently demonstrated in this this last weeks Canadian GP. Hartley "slid" off the hard wall surface and Stroll was "absorbed" by the crash barriers at the end of the run off. Two very different yet effective barrier systems.
Did Stroll's daddy absorb the damage cost
JS His ego probably.
The race car fan world needs your videos. You do an excellent job teaching things and I hope you can continue.
great explanation..appreciate your hardwork..keep it up 👍🏼
Finally caught up to your videos. Have watched every single one. This is the first one I've caught as a subscriber. Great work on these, they really show how advanced F1 engineering is.
Absolutely awesome video. So much details perfectly explained. Keep up the fenomenal work!
As always, one of the most entertaining videos on youtube! This channel deserves million of subscribers! Keep up the exceptional work!
I absolutely love learning about the technical bits of F1, and you have some of the best content on it. Keep up the excellent work, Chain Bear!
Im new to F1. Really love what you're doing with the channel! :D
I just feel the need to let you know that i learn so much from your video's i was previously never able to understand! Thanks so much!
Found this channel just recently and am back-watching everything, love it all. never really been into motorsport but you've got me interested.
Wow that's great video, very good explanation. Cheers from Italy!
Solid video, as always. Props to you chainbear.
Just as always, very well explained video, it also looks very professional. Keep up this outstanding work!
So dedicated. Great job mate!
One of the best F1 videos I've seen so far on KZhead if not the best.
This is the best channel ive came across. And very well explained for beginners like me
Best KZhead channel. Thanks for answering questions I didn't knew I had.
"Let's start with the front brakes because they are easier" *starts reading college essay on f1 cars*
Great explaination! Please do one on how the MGU-K harvests kinetic energy because right now this seems like 100% magic to me
I'm not an expert on anything F1 at all but if I had to guess, I would say that it probably uses a thermoelectric generator of some kind. These are kind of like thermocouples but a bunch of them strung together. If you want to learn more about them, check out this whole webpage about them. powerpractical.com/pages/how-do-thermoelectrics-work You could use the heat of the brakes paired with the cold air rushing by to create a very strong temperature differential to create quite a bit of energy which you could put back into batteries or the like. However, because the video talks about the MGU-K actually doing some of the braking, I would guess this isn't how they do it in F1 because thermoelectric generators are a much more passive process than that would suggest. It's fun physics either way though.
@@andrewb378 it's just an electric generator attached to the turbo shaft as far as I know.
@@andrewb378 That sounds more like how the MGU-H (which gathers energy from waste heat) would work.
@@exscape if the mgu-h was powered by the turbo SHAFT then it would be harvesting kinetic energy not heat, making it an mgu-k (i believe lol)
@@jacobgross319 I sort of agree, but that seems to be how it works. Every source I find either states that, or some less concrete version that doesn't actually mention the details.
This video is brillant i feel more clever now ! just woaw thanks you man keep your excellent work ! From France
7:41 is when I got a smile out of no where
What an awesome, and concise explanation. Please do some more Stuart. It's so nice to finally understand the 'big secrets' involved with F1 advances. If you can educate us with a similar video for each subsystem, e.e, steering, suspension, transmission, body aerodynamics, materials etc, that would be amazing.
Another amazing video, great work!
"Bleed Nipple!?! you say with horror in your eyes." LMAO
Thanks for making these amazing videos they really help me gain a greater appreciation of an already great sport!!
Your channel is absolutely great! Keep it up man :)
Awesome video man. Sick animations
This is really one of the best explanation clips (of any thing not only regarding this topic) I have ever seen. Very well structured and thought out.
Been watching you for a couple years, and the videos maintain that unique style you have, but are improving quality wise greatly. Also you're a great teacher at explaining F1 in general. Thanks for the video, I never quite understood why Ricciardo's brakes were overheating. Now I do.
Absolutely LOVE the videos Stuart! This is my favorite channel on KZhead and I check daily to see if you've posted yet another zinger. Every video you make makes me appreciate and love F1 even more! Keep up the great work mate!
Excellent video! Keep 'em comming! :)
The content of your information but even more so the quality of conveying it, it's just absolutely top-notch in your videos man!
These videos are amazing. Thank you for making them!
Mind boggling! I get a sense of what car "setup" could mean in different tracks from this video. Please continue making more such videos.
Actually such a good explanation, visuals and the science behind it. Good stuff.
Love your video! Keep it coming.
This channel needs more attention
Thank you so much for these great explanations
Love your videos mate, keep it up!
Another amazing video! Well done mate!
Your videos are outstanding! The level of detail you introduce really helps me develop an even greater admiration for the sport. Cheers, and keep up the brilliant work!
Excellent explanation, as always. Thank you.
Awesome video, you made a complex topic easy to understand and interesting! Keep it up broskie
These videos are awesome! I Would love to see a video on different kinds of racing curbs.
like always, impressive job. Thank you
Brilliantly explained, throughly interesting. Well done.
As a student of Automotive Engineering, I reallly liked how you managed to discuss brake bias effectively without much numbers or proper graphs, that takes some serious skill haha, keep up the good work !!!!
These vids... pure pleasure to watch ! So interesting I’m going on a marathon!! 10/10
Fantastic video. So well explained. Thanks 👍
Fantastic video. Keep up the good work
One of your best vids if not the best till date!!
I'm an engineer and a F1 nut, this channel is the best of both worlds.
Awesome video. Very nice and well explained.
Awesome video as always! Making simple some complex engineering! Great content mate!
I was expecting stellar quality. I was not disappointed.
Man these videos you make are the best 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 keep it up !
Very detailed and informative thanks for sharing
These visuals are really well done.
Truely awesome awesome video... keep it up guys....
I wish I could learn things like these in my school!!
School is designed to give you a flavor of the world, the rest is up to you. You got here anyways so well done :)
these are thing's you can really understand (in) after an engineering degree. You learn the principles behind this in mechanical engineering automotive or mechatronic named course of study. Until then you can enjoy these videos and keep the maths for later xD
fantastic video once again! you sir are a #blessing to f1 fans.
Once again a great video! You are the best! :)
thanks for this !!! . i did not realise that even the brakesystem can be different depending on the track . you have impressive knowledge .| keep up with these good videos
Great video as always! Wondering if it could be possible to do a video on car rake and the various advantages and disadvantages you from setting up high or low rake cars?
Perfect video. Very good and clear explanation!
Another great video CB, well explained, keep it up please :-)
Another excellent video. You without a shadow of a doubt make theoretically complicated auto technologies realistically simple. Not an easy thing to do but you pull it off 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Such quality content ! You can see the progress from the first videos.
Your videos are great and informative thanks for the good content
Awesome info and explanation. amazing thing is even under heavy braking while on front bias, still it is 55% - 45%!! wow F1 aerodynamics.
just discovered your channel, very high quality stuff!
Wow! I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you!
I would love to gain more knowledge! May the force be with you guys!
I'm from Mexico and i really love your videos!. There isn't a channel like yours in spanish but one of my favorite things about F1 is the technical complexity and with your videos I understand everything!
great vid, as always!
Thank you for your videos. For someone who has very limited knowledge about Motorsports, your videos are always insightful about the finer points. My best to you and yours sir.
love you videos,keep it up
Brilliant video mate
Thanks for the explanation!
Great video, though it would have been interesting to see how the MGU-K transforms kinetic energy into power for the battery. Also the brakes are a big factor in heating up the tires. Otherwise very informative video! :) Keep up the good work.
Amazing Video and explanaition
Mate. What a fantastic video. Thank you.
Great job as always. Love the graphics in your vids. What program do you use to create these?
Love your videos! I am learning more and more on F1 from your videos! Keep it up!!
Awesome and informative! as a newbie to F1, I love your videos.
Perfect Video! 👌🏽 Best Channel on YT HANDS DOWN.
Fantastic video
Great channel and great episode. Typically when I seen a piston in a hydraulic system the mechanical advantage comes from a smaller piston (the input or foot on the pedal) being compressed at longer stroke while the output force being being larger than input, but the output stroke (ie linear distance traveled) smaller. Just a small detail. Also, it is alright to assume fluids are incomprehensible. Most people state it’s a compressible when it’s a gas.
Another great video. I'd like that more people would appreciate this beauty. Cheers from brazil
You just earned a sub mate well done!
