How does the MGU-K work?

Рет қаралды 264,772

6 жыл бұрын

Having looked at the brakes, a lot of people wanted to know HOW the MGU-K slows the car down by adding to the rear wheel braking.
We'll look at:
- how the MGU-K turns electrical energy from the battery into power for the rear wheels
- how the MGU-K turns power from the spinning rear wheels back into electrical energy
- how MGU-K braking occurs
- how this all happens thanks to the interplay between electrical charge and magnetism!

Ok, I know you're all rushing to try and correct me and I know I do a very fast segue but: I don't say electrons flow positive to negative, i say *electric current* flows positive to negative, which it does. Models are set up using an old convention which uses the flow of positive charge, not negative charge. So, conventional current flows positive to negative. Electrons flow negative to positive.

@ZwergofPhoenix 6 жыл бұрын

Chain Bear F1 very good on explaining this but also you can't use the left hand rule because you need the movement of negative charge (you let the positive current move), you need the right hand rule to get the direction of forces then. Turns out to be the exact opposite.

it's not convention

@SoYFooD2 6 жыл бұрын

u envesize the fact that the generator slows the wheels down but not that it stors that energy in the battary.if u can envesize that u store the energy and release it later it will make more sense.so it looks like a brake and not a re-gen system.

Oh my god In a week's time I will have finished my second grade studies (university of technology, mechanics and construction of the machines) and I must say, you have explained principalities of motor/generator or electric/magnetic field linkage better and clearer than I've have ever read in a book or heard during lectures! Very good job 😉

@Rad-88 6 жыл бұрын

To me it's not that the learning of it is bad, i like learning new stuff, It's more that it counts to exams and you are judged on them even if aren't going to use it in whatever career you want to go to. I always hated how failing something as hard or complicated means you cannot progress with school for that.

That's really a great and in depth video, good job! May I ask for part 2? I'm not sure if there's much information about this out there, but I'd like to see a simple explanation of the differences in this system between teams. Or atleast about the rules and restrictions to these kinds of systems; what COULD be done if the rules weren't as strict etc.. Also, how much does a system like this weigh and how much of a benefit does it give when compared to car without this system (that would therefore obviously be lighter) Thanks for all the work you do! Back in the day I asked for more in depth videos, and boy have you delivered! Also, love the fact that you are able to put out such great vids so regularly. Definetly my favourite F1 channel ;)

He just explained a motor and generator - I'm still waiting for something I don't already know. Video could have just said - it uses a motor to give power to the wheels under acceleration and uses the same motor as an alternator to charge the battery when under braking. Kinda like a Prius.
