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!

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

[@benhewitt4293]

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 !

[@matthewvaughan8192]

I hope you never stop *torquing* about F1.

[@bendoherty7721]

Made me chuckle. Ha

[@hyperx72]

You're fired.

[@LeviAckerman-yt8og]

Bruh

[@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.

[@Andre-rc3qg]

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

[@jorgizzmigizz]

So much torque he puts into it!

[@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 !

[@estebanisswimming]

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

[@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.

[@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 :)

[@mihirpanchal4450]

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

[@joanrodr]

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

[@chainbear]

100!

[@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

[@rishabh3150]

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

[@BPEKSupraInteractive]

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

[@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 :)

[@chibinyra]

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

[@olivert.7192]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@BDMotorsport]

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

[@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!

[@montruo000000007]

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

[@F50v12]

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

[@AJFX101]

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

[@ssuperfour]

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

[@MrJugglingbear]

Congratulations on 100k! You deserve it!

[@DrKrFfXx000000000000]

100001

[@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.

[@allaboutf1andstuff453]

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

[@claudenirmf]

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

[@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!

[@ronsta11]

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

[@anumeetsingh6218]

You can even teach a kid complex mechanisms with such skills. Beautiful presentation!

[@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. :-)

[@raresboldan4885]

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

[@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.

[@ShubhamMandlekar]

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

[@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

[@sunggy]

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

[@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

[@Timeforcoffee25]

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

[@StefanBorell]

To use a baseball term: You knocked that one out of the park! Nicely done sir.

[@BrentFreyEsq]

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

[@ale-lp]

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

[@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! :)

[@vermincrusher852]

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

[@TheRealStevenGlen]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@sawankumargb]

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

[@saranshojha8244]

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

[@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.

[@chelseataiwan]

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

[@oscarshen6855]

These are all very, very basic concepts but I'm suprise that so many people watch race for years but have absoultly no idea about them. Thanks for explaining these with so much patience. Even myself can loss patience when try to teach people about these basic knowledge. We need more real racing fans who know how these incredible mechines work rather than fake fans who just want to see cars crash.

[@drip1717]

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

[@pablovini98]

Impresive animations!

[@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!!!

[@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. 😡

[@finkelly9289]

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

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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... :)

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

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

[@wonderwilk9253]

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

[@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!

[@ArvindKumar-fs9gy]

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

[@fabiocabral5492]

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

[@dsf0501]

Best video on this channel yet!! This is absolutely fantastic stuff! And CONGRATULATIONS ON 100K!!!! One question though: E.g. last year in China, Max started the race in 2nd gear because of rain. Why? Keep doing your thing, you're brilliant! Greetings from Germany :)

[@daaprtschdapsch]

dsf0501 I think he started in second gear to avoid the slipping of the wheels on the wet ground.

[@ImaadAnsari]

Too much torque might have caused the wheels to spin up in the rain, maybe thats why

[@pablovini98]

In normal cars, when starting a car in slippery conditions(snow, rain,...), it's advisable to be in 2nd gear so that the wheels don't spin out of control

[@confuseatronica]

its easier to not spin the tires in a higher gear because the torque at the wheels is lower. It's still totally possible to start in a lower gear and just not give it so much accelerator, but the difference between too little and too much gas is smaller because the torque at the wheels for all throttle positions is higher. Especially when I don't think an F1 car "gas" pedal moves even as much as a modern passenger car, which seems to move less than any older car I've driven.

[@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

[@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.

[@LordKirtash]

Well explanation. Thank you. Greetings from Spain.

[@Stasiek_Zabojca]

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

[@chiocchio1995]

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

[@sighko]

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

[@ManishRamagiri]

U have the ability to explain even rocket science in your sleep!! By far, the best explanation ever!! Where were u when i needed you the most during my graduation days?

[@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

[@harrywebster6265]

These are some of the best produced videos on KZbin.

[@Cipher422]

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

[@kadironsel1913]

loved your style man. especially this and weight distribution videos

[@mugshotmarley]

Even outside of F1, this is the best explanation of torque. Outstanding work.

[@09csr]

Excellent video, great and simple explanations.

[@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!

[@minoassal]

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

[@j.daniellopeza.345]

Amazing video, awesome graphs 10/10

[@BlueCJ]

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

[@TheNavieus]
