The Hybrid Power Unit in F1 explained (2016)

A deep look at the complicated hybrid power unit inside 2016 F1 cars and how each of the six component parts work to give the cars incredible power from such a tiny engine.
It's a bit more of a complex issue than previous videos, so we take a little longer.

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

[@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.

Chain Bear F1 hello make some videos

[@HolmesoverHouse]

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.

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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@SataNickBassist]

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.

[@WybeSesink]

These videos are awesome! I'm quite new to F1 and you explain things perfectly. Keep it up!

I hope you continue to enjoy F1 for years to come Wybe.

[@AhmedAhmed-yz4rd]

keep up the good work brother

[@joehuff5789]

Brilliant explanation

[@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!
