The Hybrid Power Unit in F1 explained (2016)

[@alikaostermiller]

I think all that power should go to the cars horn so that they go around the track sounding like freight trains.

Jon yes very much

[@seretherny]

Literally the best guy that can explain complex F1 stuff in the simplest, in depth way to someone(me) that just watches the 1-2nd and the last lap of every f1 race😂. Thanks for ur videos, it helps solve my curiousity in some of these F1 stuff!!

[@seretherny]

Nice graphics and animations as well, helps in your explanations

[@TheCoolsacs]

I am so amazed by the simplicity of how you explained an F1 engine to me. Great great work and Thank you so much. Keep making these videos.

[@johnrupesh4535]

After watching this video for the 10th time and doing my own research for months, I finally understand how f1 PU works. Big thanks to chain bear.

[@JackEdwardsthehair2610]

That was a pretty simple explanation and was good for the most part. I'm not sure about the crankshaft driving the wheels though, that's what the driveshaft does.

[@chainbear]

fair point - I added an annotation to clarify :)

Chain Bear F1 hello make some videos

[@FlameofUdun9]

Technically the axel does.

[@debeste95]

Technically the hubs do.

[@Krishna-ut8jl]

I am not sure if this is public knowledge...but it would be cool to learn about the different settings that the driver selects during the race. What are all the buttons on the wheel? What they do? When to use what? BTW Very cool videos thus far! Keep up the good work.

[@nowonda1984]

That's one beautiful explanation of it all. Knew almost everything covered, but never seen it presented in such a clear and concise manner. It's a pity you stopped doing these.

This is such a massively underrated channel! The videos are great, really looking forward to more in the future. They are answering loads of questions I have had about F1 but not really known how to find the info.

This video is a masterpiece of simplifying advanced, vital engineering knowledge. The effort you put in to create it is greatly appreciated, thank you! Subscribed & will suggest to many of my interested in F1 friends to explore your channel...

[@DeanofDeeps]

Wow! This was an amazing explanation, not only applicable to F1 but to anyone interested in motorsport tech. I'll be recommending these videos left and right!

[@pablobaio9435]

Excellent explanation of a complex subject. Finally i was able to understand how a F1 engine system works. Thank You.

[@anouarbenlaqlib4294]

What an explanation for those who are not really into mechanical engineering cheers from Morocco that was very impressive

[@markmongo44]

Chair Bear F1, another great video. I was one of your first subscribers after watching your first video. Formula 1 is now so complex that if things can be explained a little more simpler Formula One will have so many more fans. Please keep them coming!! Cheers, Mark

[@blunts1988]

This is pure learning made easy. Best videos to explain the processes of F1 I have seen on KZbin. You should come back, we need more videos like these.

[@robertcohen5289]

Awesome job! Please keep these videos coming! All of them have been so useful!

[@ateyaba7253]

So *This* is why F1 drivers take exits out of corners at pretty high gears and low rpm, because by putting the ERS into overtake, the MGU-H pumps energy back into the turbo, eliminating turbo lag and aiding in reving the engine back up. This being faster and more efficient than just keeping high rpm and loosing time in shifting gears (?) This is fascinating, thank you!

[@cris8ro]

maybe a safety car Vs VSC explanation too? Many of my casual F1 fan friends don't understand it until I explain it.

[@locoimmonkey]

Great Video, Simple explanation, i finally understand how a simple motor works...

[@dumamilk]

love your videos. but your animation doing the four strokes of the ICE might confuse some. I know its not the point of your video, but the intake stroke and exhaust stroke animation during the ICE portion are depicted as being done at the same time, when in reality they are not. Just wanted to be pedantic.

[@HieronymousLex]

Dustin Tran no, didn’t confuse anyone. All the top comments are “Love all your vids, but here’s an extremely nit picky point that adds nothing”

[@mallesbixie]

It did confuse me a bit, bit not enough o get distracted from the good explanation around it

[@charliesmith9689]

With all the engine talks about dropping the MGU-H for the 2026 engine rules, I needed to remind myself 5 years later what all these parts do again! Chain Bear, I'm sure a new video is in the works for what might happen next with the F1 Engines?

Daniel Chong Channel 4 have stepped it up from BBC pretty well. Considering it's free content you can't really complain.

Agreed. They've taken the strong points from the BBC and improved upon them (apart form the post-race forum). Sky are only interested in money, simple as.
