It's easy to say Britain doesn't have any industry but the biggest companies are owned by millions of people all over the world including the British. People discount Jaguar for it's ties to TATA but it's so largely autonomous that I think we can call it "British" as much as Volvo is Swedish and maybe more than Chrysler is American these days.

But one thing he has become much better at is understanding his audience, and one thing he has come to understand is how much British nationalism annoys the rest of the world.

End result: no Chevy in Europe and they sold the brand, including the development, which did a lot of stuff for GM USA

There was a time when British engineering and fabrication was superior to Germany's, who usually would do industrial espionage. So the British invented the term "Made in Germany" to brand all inferior German products. That way the people would know better and buy the better British products. Up until the Germans got better, and German production and engineering became the industry standard. That is an own goal on the British side lmao. The Japanese did the same and now the Chinese do it.

politicians should stay out of motoring, even now they're imposing stupid emission restrictions without meeting with the car firms to sort out a compromise, this leads to many great cars and engines dying or opting out of markets and we having to pay more for less capacity and not much more fuel efficiency. this is why Japan is so successful, politicians set out a list of car requirements and the industry simply said impossible, they met and compromised. instead of screaming no petrol here from this year and if you don't like it fuck off. we should be looking to help the industry grow and create feasible harmony with government, industry and consumers. most countries pushing their citizens to electric cant even support the power needs required if a quarter of them actually bought them, its going to happen but shocking a system that's been relatively stable for over a century to change within a tenth of that when other systems it relies upon or effects aren't changing at the same rate is going to cause a few serious problems

14:40 - In Germany talented engineers can work for...etc. This is utter rubbish. Talented engineers do not work in the motor industry! All that any car is is a collection of second-hand technology. There is nothing on any car that has ever been invented for a car, everything has been adopted and adapted from other industries. If you wanted to be involved in cutting-edge technology you would be best to work in the food industry, pharmacy, machine tool manufacture, or a whole host of other industries. A big problem that the British motor industry has is that a lot of the people working in it don't realize that the are at the blunt end of technology. I am an Engineering Consultant, with experience in many industries such as power, oil and gas, aerospace, agro-chemical, mining, etc.. For years I had tried to get into the motor industry without any success, then one day I fell into it without trying. After four years in the industry I was relieved to leave, the industry is full of second-rate engineers who think that they are the best in the world. Most of these fools have very fragile egos. My downfall came when I was invited to a seminar about 'Technology in the Modern Car'. The head of engineering research for a car manufacturer started off by telling us how many lines of computer code were in the average car from one manufacturer (about 50,000 lines), and compared this to the A308 Airbus, which has just 20,000 lines of code. I pointed out that this is because the programming of the A308 is so much better than the programming used in cars, and that I was quite shocked at just how big the difference in the calibre of the computer programmers is between the two industries. Having more lines of code does not mean that an object is more technologically advanced than something that requires fewer lines of code. Cheap memory has resulted in a world of cut-and-paste programming, which means that you can get things to work without actually understanding how they do. Rant over, I am off to help an oil company to look for some gas now. This is to fuel all the gas-fired power stations that are being built in preparation for lots of electric cars being built. To avoid burning fossil fuels in cars we are going burn them in power stations instead. Bloody ludicrous! I feel another rant coming on!

Reverend George: Spot on comment and I totally agree with your assessment of auto engineers. I worked as a mechanic on cars, trucks, heavy equipment and everything in between, and we had a saying : "a mechanic making $12 an hour corrects the mistakes on a car that an engineer was paid $100 an hour to design." Cars are not engineered as a system, they are indeed a collection of parts, and you can build one the same way I build computers: I buy a case, fill it with parts and install the software. And yes, the computers on cars are well built, but their software is just plain amateurish. I do agree that electric cars are not fuel efficient, YET! But as soon as they install the 110 volt charger into the car and put some solar panels on the roof, they will become very energy efficient. As for the factories, you have to factor in that as more and more non-fossil fuel burning power plants come online, the cost of energy will fall. Germany for instance, has already reached 60% and their factories that make electric motors are already run on solar and very efficiently run. America , once the world leader in innovation and invention, while our government sleeps, is still ahead of many countries. MIT has made solar cells by "growing" them like crystals, and Cornell University came out with a new solar cell AGAIN, that doubles the output of the one they unveiled in 2008. Of course, China decided they wanted to become the top producer of solar cells, and wind turbines, and while America slept, they achieved their goal in ten years. So now I spend my retirement reading about what others are doing, and wondering when we'll get those flying cars we were promised.

Clarkson, of course, is a very jingoistic Brit, but his claim that Britain gave the world the jet engine is a bit of an exaggeration. FRank Whittle's jet engine used a centrifugal compressor with multiple combustion chambers. It was very sturdy, but it was a dead-end technology incapable of producing the ever-increasing thrust the world needed. Simultaneously with Frank Whittle, Hans Von Ohain in Germany was developing and producing the first jet engines to enter into service and the first to see combat in WW!!. These were of a very different design from Whittle's. Von Ohain's engines used multiple stage axial-flow compressors and a single combustion chamber. This is the design that is used by all current jet engines, except for such oddities as scramjets and ramjets. Frank Whittle produced a usable jet engine, but as far as giving the world the jet engine that became ubiquitous, it was really Hans Von Ohain.
@paulstandeven85727 жыл бұрын
Whittle was pioneering a completely new engine, with meagre resources. It was expedient to design his engine that way. He did think of axial flow, but it involved much more calculation, and centrifugal compressors were more evolved. Did you know that before beginning his design and development process, Ohain made a very careful review of Whittle's work? Ohain had massive financial backing and lots of engineers working for him, and managed to get a flyable engine ready before Whittle. But it was Whittle who was the true pioneer of this field
@paulstandeven85727 жыл бұрын
Frank Whittle did the pioneering conceptual work. With almost no backing, he created Power Jets Limited. He chose a centrifugal compressor because less design work would be needed to develop it for jet use. Ohain examined Whittle's work before beginning his own jet units - with very heavy financial backing and a huge design team. Whittle really does deserve the credit for the jet engine, even though the centrifugal compressor got dropped
