This video is an inside look at the features of our unique, custom designed and built transaxle to break 500 mph with a piston engine, wheel driven car.
The wife broke in my phone snooping and found my Dragy data runs I did roll racing. She completely lost her mind seeing 216mph so I'm going to make her watch this video to prove my point THAT SHE'S COMPLETELY OVER REACTING! Maybe I'll get to sleep in the bed again tonight because the couch sucks. Thanks for sharing👍
@@bryanst.martin7134 statistically we are all idiots as a sex, some of us (not me) have made it to 200 all of would if we got the chance 😂 tell me I’m lying !!!
To be honest, I wanted to make this first video as I did it to separate us from the others. I tried to not repeat myself and I made sure I didn’t use a single photo over and over. I wanted to show more, but at the same time I didn’t want to show everyone how to do it without me! and I had to limit the length too. I appreciate the positive comment. You are the audience I was after. cW
@@TractionProducts Consider me a happy customer. I just graduated with Aero Engineering and hope to have a long career of challenging and rewarding work like this ahead. I always admire what I think is the real deal in terms of design and execution.
Amen! Anyone who has touched a race car knows a lot of these guys are 100% full of shit - pardon me, I let the intrusive thoughts type for a second - They're sound in "theory" but lack practical application of theory to reality. Beware of whiteboards and wikipedia kids. You can't google your way in to a winning race car.
Wow. I almost didn't click on this because it only had 7k views. Boy am I glad I did. It almost feels wrong to be allowed to listen to someone so knowledgeable and experienced. SO COOL
It's awesome to hear from a real deal engineer that's involved in some of the most innovative speed, and power vehicles of this time. What a privilege to get some insight on what your working on. Thank you so much for sharing your work I'm sure some nasa engineer would be impressed with that piece!
This is wild in so many ways. The “making of” or “behind the scenes” or however you want to name it - unreal seeing all the engineering and design elements behind this. I understood maybe 10% of this but felt like I was watching a genius in their natural element just go to town.
Hey Chris excited to see what kind of videos you will be making, also wanted to say that it was a pleasure working with you as a member of UCSDs FSAE team; you and your family’s parts and designs are pretty fabulous
I was so enthralled by your engineering savvy and your fabrication skills-when I was a teenager I used dismantle standard transmissions and reassemble them as a challenge; the only technical manuals readily available then to a kid of 14 was HOTROD magazine. So you have put a smile on my 73 year old face- thank you and good luck on your next 50 years of high tech adventure!
Knowing guys are out there doing things like this inspires me to keep working towards machine work so I can make my own drivetrains some day, love from a guy with some 'fast' bikes :)
I love stuff like this where it’s SO genius, you can show and explain a lot not worried that someone will try and steal the idea. Whereas other things are simpler and they don’t want to get into the weeds of it because they’re protective of their proprietary work. This is great stuff 👍🏻
Brilliant engineering from a storied motorsports supplier! Please do a deep dive on all the old trans axles from your past! Wishing you the best luck on the record attempt
REALLY COOL STUFF!!! I almost ignored it because of the fact that it was being pushed at me [by the YT pusher] but finally after so many days, I went ahead and watched it and now I'm subscribed!
Nice Rick Huseman shirt. Please make more videos. Your parts are amazing and your family's contribution to upper-level motorsports incredible. Thank you for making this video.
Damn! Thanks for sharing this, that Weismann Transaxle is a masterpiece of automotive engineering. Great in-depth knowledge in this video, some of it mind-blowing in the components and function of the operation.
Great video what a amazing piece of engineering Weismann has made so many cool transmissions over the years. Pretty much the go to when you need to handle insane amounts of power and complex engineering. They also made the Trans for the original Mclaren F1.
Thank You very much. Super impressive undertaking, especially for a one off vehicle. It is always a shocker to see how much work goes into an all out program.
Heck ya man always been fascinated by land speed stuff. Nvr been but have known alot of men who have and herad many a story's and seen many dusty speed cars in garages and shops. Cant wait to see more!!!
Its absolutely amazing what mechanical marvels can be made these days thanks to multiple axis CNC machines and 3D printers that can make metal parts. Combined with brilliant minds like these and others around the World, we are in for some exciting times of innovation.
Participating in Land Speed racing since 1975 I applaud your efforts. There are very few who have the ability to design the parts to try and accomplish 500 mph using a single engine. Thank you for letting us see and share this trans/differential unit.
Thank you , how brilliant are these guys and galls no doubt.Would love to have walked into a work shop as a youngster and had the oppertunity to work with these kind of peoples . Again thank you Sensational
I would love to know much more about the Weismann name. The history and application of engineering always has great stories to be told from different points of view. I'm looking forward to more content.
@woopyass The grand plan is to reveal our history, the good and the bad. There is just so much to cover. I am not sure where and how to start, but I am working on it in my head. Stay tuned, we will post more videos. Thank you for leaving a comment.
I first heard about Weismann when my idol drove an F1 car using their transmission. I used to go on your site and look at all the electric products you offered. I once had a plan to make an electric vehicle back in 2000, but it didn't work out. It was going to have a Weismann transmission for sure. When a company makes a product that gets banned, you know they are the best at what they do. One day I might reach out to see if you can add your legendary touch to a different product.
Beautifully engineered machinery! It is always a special experience to hear the details directly from the designer. They can show details that most wouldn't even notice, but if those features were left out, they would surely miss them. I was wondering what CAD system was shown during the presentation 😅
I’ve been out to the salt flats a few times. My boss, Jerry Hathaway, owned a shop called “SM World” that specialized in Classic Citroëns, namely the SM. He had a modified one with a twin turbo engine, fastest one in the world. Going over 200mph on such an alien landscape makes you feel like you’re in some sort of Star Wars movie.
Weismann is a name for me that is linked with great gearboxes and gearbox developments in Formula 1 over many years. After accidentally coming across this video just now, I knew I absolutely had to watch it. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the narrative explaining the design. I would love to see a follow up video in the future maybe going into a bit more depth on the actual gear change mechanisms or anything else you would care to share. Good luck with the project. It would be great to see a piston engine, wheel driven car break the record you're trying to achieve.
My goodness, so pleased this popped up in front of me. You just had me fully mesmerised for 20 mins. Had to subscribe and hope to see more of such stuff. The car at end ,8 speed, what an absolute beautiful rendition of classic engine and gear change. Similar to slightly older leman cars. Will save for multiple listernings, if I can work out to do that. Thank you
I wondered what the shiny boom box "transmission" was when I clicked. Awesome bit of engineering. Full power shifting, at 450 mph ? I'd say this is understated genius level goodies.
That was awesome man the way you describe everything and showed everything. Such a nice dedication to your parents right on man that was beautiful. What a beautiful piece of machinery good to put in a vehicle you almost wanna mount it and talk about it. I’ll give you thumbs up for that one, buddy.

Welcome to the 200 mph club!! She just doesn’t want to lose her racer!
What? The couch is great!No getting kicked, punched, having covers pulled off or banshee sleeping behavior.
@@TractionProducts It all comes down to trust issues. She trusts you're an idiot, and You trust that you are not!
@@bryanst.martin7134 statistically we are all idiots as a sex, some of us (not me) have made it to 200 all of would if we got the chance 😂 tell me I’m lying !!!
divorce, no one should go into your stuff like that
I am used to Superfast Matt’s “engineering,” so this is quite shocking. 😁 Really cool stuff, keep it up.
I wonder if there's a ham sandwich in that trans housing to make it go faster......
Oh my...
I was thinking about SFM while watching this video! Great video! Thank you!
Man, that shifter is an absolute work of art!
You should turn this into a full length documentary.
The internet needs more guys that do real deal engineering first and make a summary video after than career film maker engineers.
ABSOLUTELY!

Land Speed stuff is just amazing. From the person trying to ride a mini bike to a record , to the person trying to set a record at 500 plus. So cool !
It's always refreshing to hear the description straight from the designer/manufacturer. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this channel.
Wow. I almost didn't click on this because it only had 7k views. Boy am I glad I did. It almost feels wrong to be allowed to listen to someone so knowledgeable and experienced. SO COOL
same here Great info
for real! It's like free education! Ha!
same here came up randomly thought out a transmisson video cool but this is so much more its such an education please make more videos

3:58 This sounded *sooo good* when it was pulling off!😮💨👌🏾
it did didn't it? by the time you hear third gear it was just a speck in the distance!😄
4:05 I'm assuming this was second gear, it had to have been spinning all 4 tires
The one at the end is also music to the ears.
Knowing guys are out there doing things like this inspires me to keep working towards machine work so I can make my own drivetrains some day, love from a guy with some 'fast' bikes :)
In a programmers world I love seeing the innovation in the mechanical/machining sector, bravo!

The first of many videos by you, I hope.
Your sharing of this unique product as part of the record breaking attempt is very much appreciated.
That shake-down footage, at the end, gave me goosebumps.
How did I end up here? I don’t know but I love fast shit. And with so few subs apparently I’m on the ground floor! Looking forward to seeing more.
Brilliant engineering from a storied motorsports supplier! Please do a deep dive on all the old trans axles from your past! Wishing you the best luck on the record attempt

I knew you were the man Chris, Will be in touch again soon Re: Fighter Ace!
Great video what a amazing piece of engineering Weismann has made so many cool transmissions over the years. Pretty much the go to when you need to handle insane amounts of power and complex engineering.
They also made the Trans for the original Mclaren F1.
You guys are insane with that engineering!
Really glad I found this.
Thanks!
this car is like the ones in movies that keeps shifting gears but actually has the gears.
Please make more. Very few authentic videos like this left on trash tube
Best of luck from Sydney, Australia.

What if I told you... that everything was made in a 3-axis Fadal! Still got old school tech and making new school wonders
I know Weismann from Rick Huseman's (RIP!) pro4 toyota. The sounds that truck made is life goals.
If graphed the engineering capabilities of humans in history, the line is basically vertical right now.
Amazing
This went way over my head, I still don't think I understand?

Yeah, Kiwi ingenuity knows no bounds!. Bruce McLaren comes to mind....
This is for Reg Cooks streamliner- another kiwi Motorsport legend. They’ve been up against it trying to get their 4 cars ready for Bolivia.
Human engineering at its finest! Great video, guys. Good luck!🙂
Fantastic engineering, thank you for shareing , ... i was totally blown away by this video. !!! thank you
Amazing what the human mind can do when untethered. A lot of hard work and determination. Simply amazing.
'6 neutrals' i used to have a motorbike with a gearbox like that 🤣 - jokes aside - awesome project -thanks for sharing
MORE VIDEOS PLEASE.
Thank you for sharing! I hope to hear more in the future these are wonderful stories
This video made my day! Love seeing the stuff you all build do amazing things!
An absolute work of art, thanks for taking the time to share it!
Epic original content. Thanks for posting all of it.
I am duly impressed, please make more videos and keep up the good work.
The design and ingenuity with this transaxle is off the charts
Wow, truly amazing engineering. Thank you so much for sharing this.
That’s about the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! 500+ 🏁
Great video an appreciate the time put into giving us a video and amazing work with the engineering and explaining it
Good luck! Thank you for sharing all the details. We look forward to future videos.

Fantastic, I'm looking forward to subsequent videos..
Awesome please keep posting videos!
WOW! I'm hooked. Great explanation of the workings in your gearbox. Following for sure and best of luck to you all.
That shifter set up should be put in museum like for real that cool as shi
It sure looks “stupid simple”
GENIUS! Thank you for all the information in such a short amount of time..
Dude this is awesome! I will definitely be following the progress.

I'd say this is understated genius level goodies.
Why did I never think to call it the "boom box"
Amazing stuff!
Spectacular functional artwork. Torque cancel is brilliant.
Awesome engineering guys…very cool! 🤙
Well, i am impressed ! I look forward to more awesome Auto engineering :)
