Torque and Gears - Why F1's hybrid engines are more 'torquey'

What is torque? What does it mean? How does it work? Does it have something to do with power? How do the gears affect torque? Why do hybrid and electric engines deliver torque so quickly? What does this all mean? Let's find out with some Talk About Torque!

Hopefully this guy will end up on one of the F1 TV teams one day. Great explanations for the f1 beginner and diehard alike. Keep it up.

[@ahmadaz7739]

Ben Hewitt he just showed up on Autosport 😀😀 I just hope he doesn't forget us after becoming even more popular haha

[@VIEWMARY001]

Maybe Renault to math his color scheme ;)

[@philippemichelvidori7248]

we did this 30 years ago !

[@MrMichalMalek]

The part where you put live telemetry into torque graph is absolutely stunning!

[@matthewvaughan8192]

I hope you never stop *torquing* about F1.

[@bendoherty7721]

Made me chuckle. Ha

[@hyperx72]

You're fired.

[@LeviAckerman-yt8og]

Bruh

[@Andre-rc3qg]

The amount of effort you put into your videos is crazy.

[@jorgizzmigizz]

So much torque he puts into it!

[@Joa904]

F1 aside, this is the best explanation of how a basic gearbox works I've ever seen. Great production overall!

[@mociczyczki]

watch more closely and it turn out that this video have so many error that its only junk nothing more 🫣 ….

[@mhilmyfauzi4523]

The animations are especially helpful in this video.

[@sadiqsamawi]

Exquisite, If those who can't comprehend the difference between torque and power couldn't get itfrom your video, I don't know what will!

[@dertodestoaster1509]

So far many People here on KZbin tried to explain how Torque and Power are connected, but couldn't quite do it. But you Sir, you absolutely nailed it! I think this may be your best video so far, it contains just the right amount of information to unterstand the topic, but it's simple enough not to lose the view over the whole topic. The effort you put into these videos is amazing, i really love your new animations especially the ones where you show the engine revs on the chart.

[@chainbear]

thank you - I did spot it as a topic that had continued to confuse people a bit so I really wanted to nail it. I'm very happy with the rev sound effects as I hoped it made it easier to interpret the graph and the graphics

[@ferna182]

You just made torque sound interesting. I don't know how but you did it.

[@damientsai4701]

I totally agree with you. I've been looking at torque video for so long trying to understand it and now it's interesting AND I understand it! hahah

[@emilemartin5244]

You're vids are changing my vision of F1 races, making them more and more interesting everytime Keep up the amazing work !

[@joewilliams5057]

Love to see the Patreons list getting longer and longer :)

[@twanwilting3770]

Nice indeed. This post convinced me to also become a Patreon! Stuart, you really deserve some reward(s) for the amazing work you make!

[@noer0205]

Hope I'm not nitpicking too much. But I think the example of finding the maximum torque output needs a annotation or alike to correct the example. The gearing is actually tuned to the maximum power output of the engine. In F1 cars it doesn't make much of a difference as they are tuned to have there maximum torque delivered high up in the rev-range. But if people were to apply the method to an engine with max torque delivered at low rpm, they probably won't be able to make sense of it, as the gearing will keep the revs higher than where max torque is delivered. Would like to add that, as always, I loved the video and the way you manage to explain these complicated topics in a way that people without a big understanding of the physics can understand. As they say: "The better your own understanding is of a topic the simpler you can explain it to others". So huge respect from here, because you seem to understand these topics very well :)

[@estebanisswimming]

The quality of these videos is just insane!! What a great channel.

[@joanrodr]

Amazing video as always, but you missed the opportunity to say "Let's gear up and torque about Gearboxes!"

[@chainbear]

100!

[@Lachie55]

Congrats on 100k. Three weeks ago I had no idea about any F1 rules or even watched an F1 race (or much other Motorsport). I watched your overtaking video and now I am hooked. I've watched all your vids, am posting on message boards, listening to F1 podcasts, playing F1 games and I stayed up far too late (early) watching the Austrian GP. So.... thanks for that? A new F1 fan from NZ, thanks to you.

[@Mruck_Trop]

Haha..I got hooked last year with Baku GP and is following the same arc you mentioned. This channel helped a lot in the hype !!

[@grational]

Lachie55 Shubhendu Singh YES. And now you will be hooked for a lifetime.

[@mihirpanchal4450]

Sir your knowledge is very deep and thanks for making videos and making us understand the F1 more. Greetings from India

[@BPEKSupraInteractive]

Holy.... Best...animation...ever....

[@TheTobeyGaming]

Wow, great video as always! And again awesome graphics, 3D-animation again, visualisation of telemetry... it's great to see how much effort you put in every of these videos! And congrats to 100k! You deserve every one of them

[@commentator232]

This is what the community needs, to understand how the cars today work. Its not as simple as it was 30 years ago. Great work mate, keep it up :)

[@rishabh3150]

100k!! 100k!! 100k!! Finally!!

[@Werepie]

I love the animations, definitely worth the effort!

[@sankimalu]

All this talk about torque has me stoked! Your videos are worth waiting for! Brilliant!

[@olivert.7192]

wow this was great!! Always wondered what it was even for regular cars, glad you covered it!

[@chibinyra]

Best Torque Description, yet! Thank you =o) Excellent script and fantastic supporting graphics/visuals. Cheers!

[@aleksanderlucy8764]

I saw a video a while back on this very same topic but I have to say you explained it far better in an easier to understand manner. Great vid, and congrats on 100k!

[@claudenirmf]

Dude, great work. I am really amazed with your skills on breaking down these very confusing concepts. Hats off!

[@BDMotorsport]

Graphics, editing, and delivery of complex info in a more simplified and understandable way are all superb. Love your content.

[@montruo000000007]

Excellent implementation of the audio of the cars. Really helped get the info straight across. Very good video!

[@ronsta11]

Chain Bear!!! that was simply amazing!!! I loved the graph with the telemetry.

[@vermincrusher852]

Great explaining, nice visuals, very informative - perfect, as usual.

[@AJFX101]

I love these low key Physics mechanics lessons you slip into your videos! Great content! 😇

[@F50v12]

The animations in this video were the best so far! Extremely helpful!. Congrats on 100k!

[@ssuperfour]

EXCELLENT video! Amazing graphics, very well put together, explained plainly and succinctly. Kudos!

[@viveklakshman2897]

Best and the clearest explanation of torque on KZbin in terms of understanding its relationship with how it actually works in the real time scenario. Thank you!

[@Timeforcoffee25]

You're a legend for explaining complex topics like these simplified. Amazing stuff !

[@llaith2]

This is the best explanation of the subject I've ever heard. You have a knack for teaching! I will be showing this to my kids to help them with the subject at school! Superb.

[@Mort221]

For years I've had a very basic understanding of torque and gearboxes and the like but this is the first video to break everything down bit by bit in an easy to understand format. I feel like I've actually learnt a lot from this video. Great work!

[@ale-lp]

Clear and great explanation as always, I really love your videos! Congrats on reaching 100K Subs!

[@allaboutf1andstuff453]

One of the best channels I've come across on everything F1 and automotive... Well done sir! Keep it up!

[@sunggy]

the graphs and the way u explained the theory are absolutely brilliant! Love it!

[@Ellipsis115]

From the tiny details in the animations to talking about the meeting points of the gears this is by far the best explanation. Also thanks for going further with the graphs, will give a rewatch of the engine maps video.

[@ChristianTrucha]

please continue with these absolute gems of educational and entertaining videos! Never have I seen mechanics, physics and motors fundamentals so intuitively explained . GREAT work on he graphics, don't stop! You will be BIG

[@ShubhamMandlekar]

Amazing video! The illustrations made it really easy to understand.

[@sawankumargb]

The animation of the graph was dope with the sound... And as always, amazing content

[@Daniel-wc1xr]

I just started learning about F1. You’re videos have been an incredible learning tool for all aspects of racing, not just F1. Thank you!!!

[@fabiocabral5492]

Your videos make me love mechanics even more. It's fascinating to learn such things.

[@richardeadon6396]

Thank you for this video, it's improved my understanding of a lot of things. And congratulations on 100k subscribers, you absolutely deserve it.

[@raresboldan4885]

You hit 100K ! Congrats !!! The way you made torque sound interesting seems magical ! Keep it up !

[@finkelly9289]

Great Video, As I Guy Who Races These Cars, And As A Guy Whose Teaching Little GKarters About This, These Videos Are A Great Use Of Teaching And Learning.

[@Shaun.Stephens]

Every word seems like a sentence somehow.

[@finkelly9289]

Shaun Stephens Ever Since I Updated My Phone, Every Word Is In Caps. 😡

Kostadin Kotev What Does Lile Mean

[@dpschof9063]

KPH Crazy™ by races these cars, you mean drive them in games right?

[@finkelly9289]

Dpschof No, I Race Formula 4s

[@saranshojha8244]

That was so explicit.... really did understood about the topic for which I was trying to find more videos about!

[@ArvindKumar-fs9gy]

Great video man One of the best persons to expalin f1 and engineering stuff

[@TheRealStevenGlen]

Brilliant Production! Amazing use of audio/graphics to communicate ideas. :)

[@Chris-nq9nb]

Probably the best description of torque I've ever seen, and I studied Mechanical engineering for a year too. Brilliant video, thank you!

[@rahulkhanvilkar5350]

Your explanations are extremely clear! Please keep uploading videos! :)

[@PokeBowl82]

I'm always excited to see a new video of Chain Bear F1 popping up. Thank you for these amazing and really useful videos! A real bonus - at least for me - would be subtitles. Since I'm not an English native speaker, it would really give more 'torque' understanding the technical talks. :-)

[@chelseataiwan]

Congrats on reaching 100K. Your videos brought me back to F1!

[@victan1109]

Hey you! I watched a couple of your videos and they are just fantastic. Thank you for making me understand F1 better. You earned yourself another SUBSCRIBER! :D

[@jeda30gameplays56]

I remember not understanding Torque in my physics class, but you somehow got it in my head in 10 minutes, awesome videos, great explanation and great animation that helps the viewer understand faster. Keep it up you got a new sub!!

[@Ocram3001]

Everytime I'm thinking this guy has covered everything there is, but you're still finding intresting topics. Great job mate! keep on doing what you're doing! :)

[@Drinkyoghurt]

I don't even watch F1 but I somehow stumbled onto your channel and I have to say it's one of the best on KZbin! Your explanations are really good and easy to understand. I still don't watch F1 but I watch your videos for sure.

[@sighko]

Your videos are just getting better and better! Keep it up!

[@drip1717]

Your video is awesome, and explains these concepts in such a clear manner. Cheers!

[@wonderwilk9253]

genuinely very helpful, I only had a very vague understanding before watching but now fully understand it

[@oeszedtm]

I'm more of a silent subscriber, but for you reaching 100.000 subs, I needed to thank you for your work. You're amazing. The way the things are described is so easily intelligible, even more than certain specified 'tech channels'. I'm really hoping that F1 sees how good of a job you're doing and maybe get you to do something for them, because the quality of all your videos is quite amazing. Also, even though I mostly already know many things about what you're talking about, you often bring up new points and explenations. Keep up the work... :)

[@j.daniellopeza.345]

Amazing video, awesome graphs 10/10

[@Willbatross_]

Brilliant video, not only did it help me understand torque in F1 but also how electric road cars have "instant power" But the word torque does sound weird now...

[@UncleKennysPlace]

It's been misused forever.

[@MrJugglingbear]

Congratulations on 100k! You deserve it!

[@DrKrFfXx000000000000]

Well explanation. Thank you. Greetings from Spain.

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

Superb video. So very well explained. Keep the brilliant work up!!

[@vshankarful]

you are doing Awesome work. kindly explain on side pods and it's evolution. thank you in advance bro.

[@naraera]

I've been questioning myself what torque really was for a while now, and no source of information explained it better than you. Thank you :D

[@ritchieboon5830]

Congrats on 100k mate! Nice one!👏

[@MrPatropolis55]

It's just so amazing! All of it is class. Great video once again!

[@chiocchio1995]

Very good animations, explanations and video! Good job!

[@Cipher422]

Great Video!!! Very informative while very easy to understand.. I learned something new. Thanks a lot!!!!

[@Warloghe]

Another bang up job mate keep up the great content!

[@F1fan4eva]

Dude! I wish people were taught torque this way back in school. Way too many people in undergrad that still don't fully understand the concept. You're great at explaining and helping people learn. You'd be a good teacher!

[@MortezaAlavizadeh]

This video taught me a whole lot about the idea of torque and how the gearbox works. Thanks a billion, man. It was amazing.

[@ericloby4060]

Absolutely amazing video mate, grrat job.

[@BrentFreyEsq]

I’m a gearhead and an engineer and I still watch and love these videos. Keep up the great work! Lets go 100k!

[@m-yday]

Still impressed by you. No matter what, you keep upping your quality, while remaining coherent. Simple graphics that speak paragraphs on their own. Driving these complicated concepts in a way that gives an amazing grasp on them, all the while noting common misunderstandings to people that may have missed something or weren’t focusing 100%. People are beginning to notice you, and rightly so. If you keep up this quality, I’m sure you’ll go very far, Mr Bear!

[@kieranjam2]

Kept my attention the whole time, good job!

[@minoassal]

Using simple yet informative animations is really helpful as studying this all theoreticaly can cause some confusions, thanks!

[@kadironsel1913]

loved your style man. especially this and weight distribution videos

[@SilkyFIFA]

Amazing, as ever. Can't think of anyone more deserving of 100k in this community, well done - see you at the next milestone!

[@juandiego8536]

Although I know this beforehand bc I study mechanical engineering, the video is amazing, the way you explain it is perfect, the graphs are clear and the logical reasons of the behavior perfect. Top tier content

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

Once again, very good job! Your explanations are so good nd easy to understand :) It's always nice to refresh your knowledge.

[@09csr]

Excellent video, great and simple explanations.

[@rogercupido7375]

Thanks for an informative video and congrats on reaching 100k!!!!

[@BlueCJ]

I watched so many videos about torque but I find it complicated, but you make learning easier! :)

[@SquiggleSquared]

I just found this channel today. This is amazing! As a engineering student with a bachelors in physics, This is great!

[@tangeni_mos]

Thank you so much.. Your videos keep teaching me all sorts of new crazy things about F1. All knowledge is good knowledge!!!

[@mazgaj2]

Great animations and superbly explained!

[@galanninn]

congrats on 100k subs, great videos, keep them comming :)

[@Gooloso98]

just the best explanation, what i was looking for. thanks and as always good tutorials you share sir!!!

[@abigabbas1886]

Amazing explanation!... I can't say more just because I can't think of any more congratulating words... You are brilliant!

[@TheNavieus]

Your graph animation is excellent!!

[@leexabyz]

Another great one! Love your videos! I'd like to add a couple of points: 1. Motors also don't require a clutch to allow for rev-up, before it can be connected to the wheel. The lack of clutch slip also adds significant torque 2. The torque required to maintain a particular acceleration/speed actually goes up (not down) the faster you go (due to air resistance and such)

[@hansiddhthakur5276]

Amazing video. Your explanation is very, very good. Thanks for this.

[@onion7568]

these animations are amazing, thankyou
