You mean were it not for germans who supported a deranged maniac.

This car was designed before WWII.

@@scootergeorge7089 he's saying that without ww3 aero on F1 cars etc would have developed earlier

Generally though, WW2 developed aero understanding and funding

@@bradleycruse2763 - Other than some work by German engineers in swept wing technology, I don't see it.

The 2002 Honda CR-V has a mechanical/hydraulic system to engage the rear wheel drive when the front wheels are slipping. The part that compares wheel speeds is within the rear differential housing if you want to look it up. Edit: One hydraulic pump is geared to the drive shaft (front wheels) and a second hydraulic pump is geared to the rear differential. When one pump is spins faster than the other, a differential pressure is created that applies a hydraulic clutch pack that transmits torque to the rear wheels. The torque is proportional to the difference in front and rear speeds. The front and rear axles both have an open differential.

@@bdykes7316 That is a viscous coupling within the driveline. I would like to know how Porsche compared speeds of driven and non-driven wheels.

@@earlwebster5351 would be pressure driven . With a regulator valve . As a wheel spins it drives a pump that engages , disengages

@@bdykes7316 Huh, very interesting.

@@earlwebster5351 isn’t that somewhat like VW awd?

i feel the same. Just was there last week. Stunning thing.

I love modernism architecture! Heck look at the fighter airplane the best fighters from 1931 were completly and absoutely outdated by 1939

The Golden Arrow is a special LSR car from the 30's... Visually prefiguring modern racecar designs by virtue of artisrty, physics, instinct. It's just up the road from me in Beaulieu, an incredible thing!

@@1DEADBEEF1 Well same with fighters of 39 after the world war. It just felt like such a more exciting time in terms of technological advances, so much more happened in so much less time. If it weren’t for WW1 and the WW2 it inevitably doomed us for, we’d probably have been on Mars in the 20th century already

@@Icetea-2000 well it was ww1 and 2 that only pushed such incredible technological advancement. It was the cold war that ultimately put us on the moon.

@@Redh0und Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this too in the past, but in the end it’s all about competition. Sure, war definitely induces competition greatly, but that’s not the only way to have competition. And especially in World War 2, along with the progress it brought, so much progress was destroyed as well towards the end of the war with europe being bombed to the ground. The question is, for example would scientists in Germany in the 40s have come up with jet powered aircraft and harnessing nuclear power anyway or was it due to the war? Hard to say, and we can never know for sure. But there’s also no reason to assume scientists wouldn’t come to the same conclusions anyway, war or not. If they’re working on it, they’re working on it. There’s always a base level of competition due to the nature of the scientific environment. And the cold war wasn’t even a war, it was an arms race, another non-violent form of competition. It was Kennedy pushing scientists to work faster with his claim to put a man on the moon before the end of the decade, not a war. In fact, a war would definitely have halted such an endeavor. What would be interesting to know is whether we would be far more advanced if we would be in a constant war the last decade that isn’t total destruction but conventional. There’s obviously nowhere to know the alternatives because we can’t look in parallel universes, we can only see ours. But I doubt it, competition in research is always existent anyway.

The skins were flat sheets of aluminum or steel, beaten with special hammers over a wooden form, or sometimes freestyled over sandbags. I can't even.

​@@raffriff42 in 1938 Rudolf Caracciola reached 432.7 km/h on a public road, with a streamlined Mercedes F1 car. It had a 5.5 litre V12 engine with only 726 hp. The T80 had a drag coefficient of 0.18 and over 3000 hp. Heavy as it was, 500 km/h was an absolute given. 600kmh was a question mark, but no utopia. It would depend on the wheels and tires holding up.

@@DolleHengst and no strong winds at the test day or would crash like the car from Bernd Rosemeier (RIP) also the record from Caracciola stood unbroken for yearly 8 decades on public roads before it was broken 2017 on german roads again by a Koeniggsegg Agera S

@@nightstorm5914 True - no winds would be preferred. Also: quite an achievement on public roads, even if it was an Agera RS that broke the record, in Nevada, USA, in november 2017 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koenigsegg_Agera 😉)

As a German I strongly disagree, no one but an American would say that

@@privatesgooglekonto7638 I’m half Polish, quarter English and quarter French, and live in Canada, but thank you for your input. I look forward to all the clips you’ll upload of you piloting your T80 replica down the Autobahn at 700+km/h sustained.

Thanks!

You seem young lmao

Glad you enjoyed it!

You should read about his ‘other’ history…

You are welcome!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great, thank you and welcome!

Yes, Opel even in the 1920's. I will cover a bit more of wings in motorsport in future videos.

They weren’t using them for racing.

More to come!

@@BSport320 Niiiiice!

it did run, 650Km/h on the autobahn, there are videos of it.

@@PhantomWoIf really, awesome. you have a link?

Thanks, good point but I wanted this to be about the T80. A and V engines is enough stuff for another video.

@@BSport320 That is more than fair enough. Thank you for your reply and thanks for always putting out interesting content

There are many theories and hypothesis about the upside down V engine. The more plausible one is that this is easier for maintenance. The most complicated part, the engine head is the lowest part of the engine and the maintenance crews won't have to climb to the top of the plane to fix the engine. The other hypothesis is that it's better for packaging and visibility. The narrow crank case allows the engineers to put machine guns besides it. BF109 has two machine guns in the nose. V12 engine is really long and it blocks the view of the pilot when take off or landing. The narrow nose has a little bit more visibility than conventional V engine.

@@user-om9gy3mg7x That's quite interesting, I didn't know about any of this. Thanks!

​@@charliemolda297 You're welcome These videos have more in depth explanation. You can check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpeJf9qDtrKmj30.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m52CZpylr53Uo6s.html

If your talking about cars with engines they advanced but there is little to no reason to make a homologation special like these anymore people are more interested in fasted road car and fast car (rocket/jet engine)

Very true and this will be part of a future video about the history of wings.

@@BSport320 well looking at the drawing of the T80 and its aerodynamic features I would say don't pusch it that car is a death trap with that aerodynamic balance it will get air born for a short time before landing on the roof without the diffuser the car wold have a okish balace of down force because the wings ar 50/50 front and rear downforce so they don't press the front down but the back has a huge diffuser behind the wheels not between them that increases the leverage and at the speeds they wanted to crack it Shurly cold lift the front a bit caching the air flow under it .. Mhm and now I'm wondering how the mechanic traction control would behave in that situation

The Opel cars had a center of thrust behind both center of gravity and center of pressure. Only a matter of time until they killed someone.

Yes, that's on my list already but it was a few decades earlier.

The use of ice is still popular in Bonneville speed record cars to this day.

Mercedes/auto union already used ice to cool the engine in 1930's

Engineering needs to be explained with German accent 😅

Yes the driver was in a Aluminium tub

Already on my list :)

Perhaps because it never ran? Slight interruption caused by WW2.

yes, working on it!

What more do you want? Did you somehow miss the body-off chassis? After you finished tour? What are you talking about?

To anybody interested. The channel owner, although sounding German, I suspect has Scottish genes since I found out the name of the channel has thy Scots surname of Buchan.

The T80 was never driven at speed.

Not a "production car".

@@39PSIOnTheDaily ... which is a lie after you deleted the videoproof of it.

@@PhantomWoIf Huh?

German Grand Prix cars often used Continental race tyres. And speeds of around 400km/h were not too unusual. E.g. if we look back at the 1937 AVUS race or the annual record weeks before the Grand Prix season started.

none, The Germans were busy tearing Europe apart with tanks

Because no one knew about downforce much less how to exploit it? Either passively with wings or actively like the Chapparal.

I think only the people involved really know, but as we learned the deformations of the spoke rims limited the speed to around 500km/h. But that's nothing that couldn't have been solved with some more development time.

It did. There was a great shortage of the engines so fewer of them made it into the air.

Glad you enjoyed it!

nope
