Great move by Alpine. Closing down the engine program means they have little to hide anymore and using what they have for some good press is a smart move!
Loved the diff explanation - I’m always surprised how often F1 parts are just much lighter, more sophisticated versions of road car parts but that diff is a different league.
@@theairaccumulator7144 Not really, in normal cars it's a matter of cents. Every cent saved adds up quickly. Unlike F1 where performance is objective number 1.
@@GreenPlasticWaterCan F1 diff is not like it is because it doesn't have to be durable, it's a hydraulically actuated ACTIVE differential - entirely unnecessary on a road car, and enormously expensive to manufacture and maintain.

@ Yes, I have seen it and I think it is tragic that "They kinda had to get rid of it", as it could have been very interesting development in the sport, in the same way active suspension could also be.
I remember quite a few years ago before the final race of the season in Japan, I was in Italy to pick up 4 Ferraris from the factory, my first visit and didn't really know where I was going (before satnav) I turned down this country road to see loads of cars parked all over the place, I stopped my truck to see what was going on and spotted this chap going through the trees to a fenced off area, I worked my way through the trees to be greeted by armco around Fiorano Test Track and Michael Schumacher testing, the violence of the gear changes as he came past us is something that still stays with me today, it's utterly brutal how they bang into gear with astonishing force, and the noise omg it was biblical, a day and a moment I will never forget.
Engineer comment- These videos are great, but a bit frustrating when the B-roll doesn't match the actual topic. At 10:45 they show a close up view of a gear pump which has two identical meshing gears and can be referred to as an external gear pump. It is similar to how a roots blower works. In between the gears where they mesh does not allow oil through, so it is forces the oil to be carried by the teeth around the outer wall. The actual pump hanging from the strings is an annular gear pump which uses an internal and external gear (this pump has two sets). Notice that in the F1 pump the "inernal rotor" (regular gear) has six teeth and the external rotor (internal ring gear) has seven teeth. You can also notice at 10:38 that the pivot hole in the body for the shaft is off center. This locates the internal rotor to properly mesh with the external rotor, which leaves a gap on the far side where the pumping is done. Also notice that the internal rotor is keyed to the shaft, so it spins with the shaft, and the teeth drive the external rotor to spin at 6/7ths the speed of the shaft. The external rotor spins in the pocket in the body. The B roll of the "bevel gear" mesh at 12:56 was painful to see. If you have ever used Lego gears, you know what is wrong with that animation... Again, these videos provide incredible inside views of F1 tech that is just amazing, and I'm grateful to have access to it.
that non bevelled diff is fair enough since it simply shows how the gears apply force to someone with zero mechanical aptitude, yes it's literally grinding gears irl lol
yeah I saw that gear pump footage and thought somethings not adding up. it would've be nice to have some detail on the two parallel annular pumps as they're quite fascinating. amazing info none the less.
This video was hard to watch in general. Alpine put all the effort in basically. The more I think about it the more it makes me mad that this access was given to Scott as I don't feel he did them justice. It was just a rushed mess in parts and hard to follow. Things should be understandable to layman's but this was just rushed to get under 15 minutes. The amount of cuts and fast "explanations" that were edited in that way regarding important things was just painful. With this access to very recent tech he should be doing it justice. I would rather have a quality video that's longer than a shorter rushed mess like this that didn't even match. Wasted the privilege of seeing this or maybe takes it for granted with being a driver. All the tools were there and transparent as well. Could have been really interesting and educational but the editing was poor. All that easy to see setup wasted.
That differential is a masterpiece. I truly want a deep explanation on how it works. With no simplified animations. The differential animation you had there that had two straight cut gears meshed together perpendicularly was painful to watch. But overall, great video and hope to see more like it
That note about singapore being hard on gearbox was interesting, if possible could you guys do a video on an entire F1 Calendar track by track and which components are particularly stressed? That would be very interesting to know
I read somewhere they have issues finding a location. They basically need a long tunnel with smooth concrete lining without anything attached to the roof/walls. And they need to build on/off ramps at the openings/inside this tunnel so the tunnel can't really be used for something important as the ramps would put the tunnel out of commission for most likely weeks, at best days. Tunnels filling all those requirements are extremely rare. I'm not even sure something like that exist. Best option might be to look for some feeding tunnel for some hydro power plant that's under heavy maintenance/repair where the tunnel is either made with a TBM throu solid rock or thats lined because it goes through consistently poor rock. But there are not many of those either.
Man, I could spend a weekend there just looking at the differential. Just amazing design and simplicity all at once. And then there's the 1000 HP going through it all, or to be exact, it's the torque that matters here. HP is just the torque multiplied by RPM.
Never underestimate the importance of a proper Differential! I once thought, ESP nowadays can do practically the same job, by applying brakes to individual wheels. It sorta does, but it slows you down instead of accelerating you faster.
Another great video, thanks. The cut (10m 43s) from the exploded 6 lobe Eaton style (I know it as) pump to the assembled but coverless gear pump did have me doubting my sanity. Luckily a quick rewind confirmed the situation🙂
I've done loads of those...in Motorbikes, I'm amazed I recognised everything. Bikes dont normally have a pump tho but they do have Dogs! Its called constant mesh - not like cars at all - here the actual gears are always engaged - its the ring/fork in between them that moves and connects the gear to the shaft via dogs that are a bit like pins that go in holes in the side of the gear where you cant see them. This makes for the fast gear changes until eventually the dogs wear down and it can fall out of gear. Pity he didnt mention the oil - there is enough tech in that too...
Excellent insight into the transaxle internals. It would have been nice to cover why they use a cross-shaft, driven by a spiral bevel gear and driving the differential by parallel straight-cut spur gears, rather than the hypoid gear set of a typical longitudinal road car transaxle or final drive. The answer is that a hypoid gear set provides the required vertical offset, right-angle turn, and reduction gearing in one stage.... but this arrangement provides the same functions with less drag (and resulting heat production), despite needing two stages to do it.
Some of those components look like they should belong in a watch, they're pure jewellery, can't believe they can handle 1000 HP at full tilt! Engineering masterpiece!
I’ve done a kaaz lsd and gear set ratio change on my Miata and that diff they have there looks like black magic. Rest of the drivetrain is surprisingly fairly standard but that diff is something else.
Wow! Always loved the transmission rebuilding of my Alfa's and this is a fantastic presentation.....Thanks!!! How all those gears mesh and turn revolutions in to forward movement is incredible.
There's that forum story of a guy that drove spare parts for these gearboxes across europe because flying them out on race day would take longer than driving. He used a Carrera 996 3.4L to do it.
Its very similar to a motorcycle gearbox with the lack of synchro gears and use of constant mesh, dog gears, and selector forks. If it was bathed in the same oil as the engine its pretty much the same
2.45 Mclaren breakdown. The Tooned advert on the rear wing was from the Button/Hamilton days... I think probably 2012. Pretty sure that's a Hamilton helmet. Maybe Singapore when Ham retired with a failed gearbox?
Showing Lance beached in the gravel when talking about the reverse gear is hilarious. He didn't even use reverse and there was an escape road he could have taken to keep going forward.
Simulation doesn't mean you do no physical testing. For one thing, you have to validate the method. Even then, you should always test the final product, just in case one of your assumptions was wrong.
Another important thing to look at with the oil flow is the amount of cavitation on the geartooth caused by the gears running through the oil, which can be even more of a disaster than running minimal librication. Cool video tho! Love these ❤
Yeah that's why they are spraying oil directly onto the gears 👍 straight gears can run on almost no lubrication. As you say, to much oil can damage a gearbox, this is typically on 'wet sump' gearboxes. These f1 gearboxes are essentially a dry sump system, some even have oil tanks built into the casings 😎
so nice video , it's a clockwork mechanism , really liked to see how they are build inside , and were the straight tooth sound is "produced" . Sad you not show how the 3rd sprocket gear from Reverse works .
The sound comes from the straight gears themselfs. The Teath have a clearance gap. What your hearing is the movement when one tooth disengages and the next reengages 👍 straight gears have no axial loading allowing for less friction. This is different for helical gears where the there is always a tooth engaged (hense no rattle, no noise) but they do have axial loading and more friction. I hope this helps 🙂 I'm building a V12 supercar 😎
There might be an oil cooler, and the breath pot, usually due to oil expansion temperature and flow during the comissioning of the system the pipes diameter may need to be adjusted to bigger or smaller sizes to avoid overflow. 😎
The thing is it's easy to make a strong transmission if it being strong is top priority ,things immediately get much harder if you want it to be light too. Basically the engineering triangle, your choices are strong, light and cheap, you only get to pick two.
Awesome and very informative video! It makes me wonder if 1> Can one of those transmissions be adapted to a vette and 2> Would it last a lot longer since it wouldn't be supporting the suspension and it wouldn't see the same amount of stress? It would be interesting 🤔
That's not how a vehicle oil pump works; you're describing an impeller. You also change from showing gerotor internals to showing a gear pump (which moves the oil very differently) when describing incorrectly how the oil pump works.
Man, you the MVP for getting this awesome detailed nerdy stuff to me and everyone else! Good lawd nah, would ya just look at it? Fricking GORGEOUS, bro, beautifully engineered. Hell yeah, brother!
The most interesting thing for me is that the gears are simple spur gears and not helical. When I think of how noisy the reverse gear is in my vehicle, it’s astonishing that these gearboxes don’t scream when under load.
Love all this stuff. Love the detail and precision. It's mind-blowing. Just a shame that this pinnacle of automotive engineering should ever be handed to a brat like Stroll.
While the active hydraulic control of the differential clutch is interesting, it is not as unusual as one might think - even GM has use their electromechanically operated equivalent (which they call "eLSD") since 2014 (or earlier?) on a least some variants of the Corvette and other models, and other manufacturers have their own versions What is more unusual is the planetary differential, rather than the usual bevel gear design. They're readily available - Schaeffler supplies these to some manufactures of production vehicles - but still not common. They're used because they are compact, particularly in the axial direction.
3000mi on an F1 gearbox is actually insane. Running 14k rpm with super fast WOT gear shifts (obviously has an ignition cut when they shift) They used to be able to have unlimited number of motors and gearboxes per season.
Qué les pasa a los que hacen el doblaje en español? Parece que les estuviera dando en ACV mientras hablan. Y además, se baja el volumen y no se entiende lo que dicen. Una pena, era un tema muy interesante el tema.
The funding is split 50:50 between gearbox development and funding his sleep. That's 6 million a year on high tech beds, and also on sleep apps for him to mess with when the bed isn't working. The fact that he asked how many oil pumps there are in the gearbox and was wowed by the answer of one makes me think the bed isn't working at the moment.
