How the Bugatti Veyron W16 engine works in 3D 🤯

[@TheBlaert]

I remember being at a motorshow a few years back when the W12 was introduced. The guy on the stand explained in depth how it all worked and it was absolutely fascinating. Had a full scale cutaway model too. The W16 is like that on steroids. Tremendous piece of engineering

[@rustyneuron]

Your graphics, timing, rhythm, relative volumes, etc. make this a pleasure to watch. Anyone can read a script, not anyone can do it in a way that makes the viewer never once glance to see how much longer is left or be tempted to fast forward. Thanks.

True

It's text to speech...

[@rustyneuron]

@@Wordbird69 Wow! Then it is _very_ good quality; this is the first time in my 47 years on this planet that I have interacted with an AI and thought it was actually a real human being-- even enough to compliment it. Absolutely brilliant! Also a little scary as well, but mostly just really cool. I wonder how granular the controls are on the average TTS app?I've never really played with them. Think I'm going to e-mail this creator and see what they are using and how its calibrated and integrated.

[@sbdftw1702]

The video does a good job at putting into perspective how much these cars are a feat of engineering. It’s beautiful to watch all of these pieces work together to produce 1000+ horsepower and 260+ mph.

[@voldem0rt]

Uhhh... sure, it's good, but it sounded like a TTS robot reading a script. Approaching the end of the video I had to check to make sure playback speed wasn't sped up. the video itself was somewhere between a 5 and a 6 out of 10. The information that was presented though, that information was fantastic, if true. I don't know enough about bugattis let alone the reason why something works or doesn't. What I am saying is I have no reason to dispute the information provided herein. I would say the information presented here is a solid 10 out of 10. Just need to work on presentation, but maybe that is the style the creator was going for.

[@missingno777]

All this fantastically complex mechanical engineering, and the fact that it is reliable, is part of why I love cars.

[@Mr42lives]

Did not know they initially planned to use three blocks. The middle one would really be a pain to cool down. Love Veyrons for their engineering breakthroughs. Chirons are only an evolution on that historical masterpiece.

[@hohenrover5002]

The bigger problem would've been the piping for inlet and exhaust.

[@jackking5567]

On an air cooled engine yes but through water cooling this can actually be controlled - simply push more coolant through the middle block or make coolant galleries bigger. As another op comments here - the issue was the routing of coolant pipework and combustion gas transfer. The poster of the video was not clear with why the middle block overheated and you speculated why. You were wrong.

[@thetechlibrarian]

@@jackking5567 true but the Amount of cooling all-ready pushed is pretty significant I forgot how many gallons of coolant it uses currently I think it’s something like 40 L of coolant with 10 radiators

[@johnskinner737]

Don’t forget the mclaren f1 did 240 in 1990 with 400 less hp

[@joebloggs516]

I thank the Bugatti team who designed the Veyron for inventing the dual plate clutch that is now stock item in my VW Golf. (Not the same clutch though, but similar design). A very durable yet light to use, giving many trouble-free kilometres!

[@teluxicon6267]

Wasn't it Porsche who invented the double clutch system

[@joebloggs516]

@@teluxicon6267 Maybe, but the Veyron was the first road-legal car to feature a dual-plate clutch. As Porsche is a parent company of Bugatti, a lot of the brands under a banner are intertwined, may well be Porsche

[@D4RKBRU73]

@@teluxicon6267 It definitely was Porsche. And the Veyron was designed by VW and not by Bugatti this guy has it all backwards

[@rolandromeiser1546]

Dual-plate clutches exist, but what you mean is a dual-clutch transmission. As others have already said, the concept came from Porsche and VW and was implemented in the Veyron as well, but the Golf had it before the Veyron

To be fair they were never meant as daily drivers, Veyrons are monstrously expensive to run

[@johnmcdougald1238]

Great work. I just discovered your channel and sat through every video you made. I love the descriptions and video content are great for education and make it so measy to understand what's happening. THIS video, explaining the operation of the W engine was above and beyond the best one for making such a vastly complex engineering operation of this motor easy to understand. I look forward to your next and future videos. Your channel is the ONLY channel of my over 400 subscriptions that I hae the notification turned on for. Thanks for the effort you put into these. It shows.

[@BBQandStreetCars]

WOW your videos are badass. I love the design and imagery so we can see what your talking about and what's going on inside the engine. I would like the Chevy 5.3 next. Its a super popular engine that alot of ppl have. Keep up the good work 👍

[@alpine8590]

[@nadurtha8536]

An astounding piece of engineering. Of course, engineers can now squeeze 1000hp out of 1.6L engines but this does it and can still remain quiet/relatively sensible at the same time. It doesn't need to rev that high to achieve the huge HP/Torque figures.

[@remissiveslave]

To make that power put of 1.6 I don't see how it could be reliable.

[@nadurtha8536]

@@remissiveslave Well look at the Mercedes AMG one. Though it's really a track car, they claim it can driven on the road as well. Though you're right it's questionable how long such a small high revving engine would last...

[@Gary55379]

I’m fairness, is there an electric motor helping?

[@Sperperone]

Power of a combustion engine is dictated by the formula pw=k * p * d * r. Where k is a constant for all 4 stroke engines, p is the average pressure in the combustion chamber, d is the displacement, r the revs. Basically you can build bigger (more displacement) or more revving engines or increment the pressure. Incrementing revs hit against the physical limits of materials in alternate motion (pistons, valves, connection rods). Incrementing the pressure can be done to a certain extent by increasing the compression ratio but after a given threshold engine became to detonate. The other way to increment pressure is adding compressors (turbo compressor mainly). In the 80's 1.5L turbo engines rotating at 8,000 rpm had 1,500 hp with turbos blowing at 6 bar and more... Current street legal cars rarely pass 1.5 bar

[@Australiaisupsidedown]

The 1.6-liter engine makes a maximum of 574 hp at 9000 rpm, though redline is all the way at 11,000. The electric motor attached to the engine, also known as the MGU-K, makes 163 hp on its own. The two front-mounted electric motors make a combined 326 hp. In all, maximum output is 1063 hp, according to Mercedes

[@NeedForSpeed.2004]

The crazy bit is the engineering that went into an engine that not only produces so much power but is able to do so effortlessly and reliably and on pump gas, and given the time period, that’s even more insane.

[@a1caponea1]

Bugatti said their next car won’t be electric or hybrid

[@xezoncatiosa6971]

That was amazing, you are a rockstar in presenting this stuff

[@cutercills9x9gaming49]

The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was actually my dream car for a quite a long time (at least unrealistic one). While this car is terrible on gas (an average 10 mpg makes a Hummer look eco-friendly), it's beautiful, and the engineering inside the engines is amazing. I should not be surprised on why it takes almost 27 hours to change the oil, plus has like 17 oil bolts.

[@darrellogilvie]

Incredible production and animations

[@tristandrew5903]

Excellent video. One point that struck me "above 6500rpm the tappets unload and the valves open less, reducing power". I've seen a lot of dyno graphs where even tuned engines lose power a bit before recline. Could this he the same thing or usually just due to the torque curve tapering and the net result for power based on the 5252 calc?

[@excalibur2038]

All based of camshafts and camlobes pretty much, after a certain point the cams cant open soon or late enough so they cant supply enough fuel/air or exhaust enough, therefor reducing efficiency, on most cars new they with come with low to mid efficiency cams mabye being most efficient from 700-3000/4000rpm. This is because they want the engine to produce the most power at lower rpm for most fuel efficiency resulting in less performance. Most performance cars will use a more aggressive cam mabye most efficient at 4000-7000rpm resulting in much better performance because its focusing on delivering the right amount of fuel and air at higher rpms (bigger lobes, mabye they retard or advance the timing so the valves are open for longer) there have been systems to combat this hard limit of being locked into a most efficient rpm range, such as hondas v-tec where the cam has 2 lobes per valve (one big and one small for both low mid and high) and the big lobe is not activated and doesn't push the valve. once the engine reaches a certain rpm (the rpm when the current camlobe has reached its peak efficiency) it will activate a pin that pushed through both camlobes activating the big lobe therefore extending the engines peak efficiency rpm, therefor getting the best of both worlds. This being said most engines dont use a vtec system and modern ones just retard or advance the timing to create better efficiency for the valves at different rpm ranges, although not as effective as v-tec is pure performance, it can result in a much smoother driving experience as v-tec is kinda an on-off thing and is very noticeable when it kicks in and the cam timing adjustment system can be smoothly chnaged when the revs are increased so this is preferable to modern car manufacturers. So in conclusion pretty much the entire power band is controlled and adjusted by the camshaft and cam timing system and although through all the methods presented peak engine efficiency can be increased, it unfortunately (with our current technology) not be perfected so the power band graph tapering off towards the end of the rpm, hope that answers your question. I know that it was 2 months ago and you probably dont care or remember but i had 10 minutes free and was bored so why not, mabye this reply will help someone someday lol
