When Subaru Put a “Jet Engine” In Their Exhaust | Rocket Anti-Lag Explained!
Рет қаралды 1,215,102
Күн бұрынAnti-lag systems help a turbocharger to continue producing boost when a driver is out of the throttle, but did you know that the Subaru rally team had one that could fully spool a turbo at idle? The Subaru Impreza WRX STi S11 and S12 WRC generations featured a unique system dubbed Rocket Anti-Lag. Using patented technology from Prodrive and similar principles to a jet engine combustor, the cars were fitted with a separate combustion chamber in the exhaust.
The system that drivers like Petter Solberg and Mads Ostberg got to enjoy has puzzled people for some time, so I decided to read through the patent documentation and try to understand how it works. So let’s learn how anti-lag works, then go over all of the awesome engineering behind the rocket system! This is Subaru’s Rocket Anti-Lag explained!

I just stumbled across this video, and was extremely pleased to see you cover a system I worked on during my SWRT days. I was the designer on this system, that was invented, developed brought to competition by Roland Broadbent. All the drawings from the patent you used were done by me. Some additional points: 1. No ignition system was used because the rules didn’t allow for a secondary ignition source after the engine spark plugs. 2. The idea came from a diesel French tank in the 1960’s that had what’s called a hyper charger, but that had its own ignition system. 3. Combustion in the chamber was initiated by the plate on the end of probe in the centre of the chamber, that flowed cherry red due to the hot exhaust gases coming from the engine. This plate restricted flow and reduced the top power of the engine. This later evolved to annular ring that was less restrictive to the flow through the chamber. 4. The boost tank used by Ford was illegal, but passed scrutineering when discovered. SWRT went the next rally with a bear barrel doing the same job. After that boost chambers on all cars were outlawed. 5. Different ALS systems were used on customer WRC cars. 6. A road car version was developed for STi by Prodrive, but never went to production due to cost and long term durability.

First off, what an amazing piece of engineering developed by you and your team! I'm absolutely honored that you would take the time to comment here and I hope I've done the system some justice! All of those additional points are much appreciated. I did my best to reason through the system's operation using the text in the patent, but I figured there would be some finer details that I may not have gotten 100% correct. A couple of questions for you: 1. Would you mind if I "pin" this comment to the top of the comments section so that others can easily find it? 2. Is there a good place I may be able to get in contact with you? Completely ok if not, but I thoroughly enjoy learning about motorsport engineering and would love to speak with you further on these kinds of subjects.

@MultiHunterOne Жыл бұрын
For anyone who worked in any capacity with turbine engines the rocket closely resembles a combustion chamber, with the most notable difference being the lack of fuel injector and instead an intake of fuel rich exhaust, which serves pretty much the same purpose of delivering fuel for combustion. The inner and outer tube design with holes are almost identical to what a turbine engine combustion chamber would have, except for the tube which is routed to the middle. It's very cool to see they pretty much made a jet engine in the exhaust.
@benjaminshropshire2900 11 ай бұрын
What I kinda wonder is why they didn't go all the way and put a fuel injector into the can? That should (in theory) allow keeping the turbo at full boost at any engine speed all the way down to zero. You might even be able to (once you get the turbo running) get enough boots to air start the engine! My guess is that either the rule book already bans that (boring) or that there is some non-obvious reason it don't work well (interesting).

They both push, just with different goals and constraints. You couldn't use this in a road car because the turbine doesn't last very long. Alternative systems exist like for example Porsche's which runs the engine at WOT but with no fuel under decceleration to keep air flowing through the turbine. Road cars have a lot more R&D spent on things like safety, efficiency, comfort equipment and of course cost optimization. In fact there's probably more R&D overall put into a Ford Focus than was every put into a Group B rally car.

They might call it the Rocket because the idea is very similar to how a a part of a liquid fuel rocket engine works. A gas generator burns some fuel and oxidizer to power a turbopump, which is extremely similar to an automotive turbocharger. There are even engine cycles that run fuel-rich, then tap off some of the exhaust into the gas generator.

For anyone curious about the cooling system at the end of the video, here's a great article that explains pressurized cooling systems used in racing which is probably what these cars have: appliedspeed.com/blogs/tech/purpose-built-race-car-pressurized-water-systems I'm still learning about them myself, but the reason offered for adding pressure to the system is to check for trapped air in the system. From the article: "The tank comes with a Pressure Relief Valve (PRV). The PRV is adjustable, so it eliminates the pressurized radiator cap. The accumulator is also accompanied by a quick disconnect fitting for the operator to add some pressure to check for any air trapped in the heads." So minor correction on my part if that is what he was doing instead. Thanks for watching!

The main reason isn’t to bleed the system but to increase the pressure and prevent boiling of the coolant! In particular the most at risk area’s such as the coolant galleries in the heads above the chambers and exhaust ports as increased pressure raises the boiling point of the coolant and bleeding is a secondary benefit! Also just about every cooling system is pressurised but this is roughly twice a normal car’s pressure and with an additional accumulator it’s a practical and well thought out system! Edit should have watched before comments! You got the accumulation covered lol

Battery weight kills this idea though. Until that’s solved liquid fuels have such a higher mass energy density that it’s not always the best way tho go. This is why the big boy drones all have liquid fuel powered electric generators (auxiliary power units) that then output the electrical currents to drive the prop motors. And it still comes out much lighter and more effective than having a battery pack.

Greatest video about Anti-Lag ever. Thank you so much for making this. I am working on a video about anti-lag systems when I found this, starting from F1 in the '80s all the way to F1 today. But I would have never expected to find such a detailed explanation of the rocket tough. Best source I found was MotoIQ and Robert Thorne's youtube channel. Good thinking to look for a patent.

The "Rocket" is just a miniaturization of the Turbo Burn Barrel/Fire Bucket, change my mind. It acts just as a jet engine's combustion chamber.

Oh, this video definitely earned my subscription! Absolutely phenomenal content right here. This is actually the second video I've seen from the channel, which is funny because the first video was the mentioned Ford Boost Tank video. I probably would've subscribed then, but if memory serves I watched it on a lunch break and lost was this channel to the infinite algorithm of KZfaq. Not to worry, as 80% of my views go to car channels I was sure to find you again.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Like I said in the pinned comment up top, another possible explanation is that they can add pressure to the system to check for trapped air. The boiling point thing was my best guess but without asking the mechanic, I don't know for sure :) Here's a good article that explains it if you're interested: appliedspeed.com/blogs/tech/purpose-built-race-car-pressurized-water-systems
