What is the concept of a power unit in F1?

It's no joke!

An F1 car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.3 seconds, with an engine speed of 19,000 rpm, and it only takes a little longer than a tennis court to reduce its speed from 300 km/h to 60km/h.

And these jaw-dropping stats are just one aspect of Formula 1.

The key factor that really allows Formula 1 cars to continue to push the limits of racing is its power unit,

An F1 engine cannot exceed 100 kilograms and has about 5,000 parts. Under these extremely demanding conditions, it needs to do a series of things that seem impossible;

Every 100 kilometres, the engine needs to use more than 60 litres of unleaded petrol. Since 2017, the maximum fuel tank in F1 cars is allowed to be 105 kilograms of fuel and refueling is not allowed during the race, according to the general race distance of 305 kilometers, each kilogram of fuel needs to be driven at least 3 kilometers!

At full speed, the engine is pumping more than 600 litres per second, which is more than the multi-cylinder piston engines of many World War II fighter jets!

Since 2014, F1 has set a maximum engine speed of 15,000 rpm, which translates to a maximum of 125 firings per second, which means that the engine pistons need to reciprocate 250 times in one second!

At maximum rpm, the piston accelerates with the equivalent of 8,500G, which is more than the acceleration of a regular 5.56 rifle when it is ejected. Therefore, if we talk about robustness, the piston connecting rod of the F1 engine is the strongest part in the mechanical department of the civilian sector in the world! And the second strongest thing is the crankshaft of the engine, even in Germany, which has the strongest machining strength, it takes six weeks to make a crankshaft for an F1 engine.

It takes 2 weeks to assemble such a precise and solid part to form a truly functional F1 engine!

Someone once said of the power of Formula 1 – a machine made by humans to show off to God.

This sentence is by no means an exaggeration in Li Fanyu's opinion.

In fact, even though he has a lot of black technology, he also has a deep awe for the F1 engine.

This data package for Wang Rui is actually an upgraded model based on the Ferrari type056, which has adapted to some of the time and space in which F1 has changed for engine rules.

Before Li Fanyu made changes to type056, he first searched the design drawings of 056 according to his own habits. Of course, the X Design Specialization is used.

Even with his perverted X Design Specialization, which was extremely strict with design vulnerabilities, he didn't see much red when looking at the F1 classic engine of the plane before him, which represented flaws and the possibility of a greater upgrade.

In other words, this top-notch mechanical design made with human intelligence is almost impeccable!

Seeing such a data package, Wang Rui, who was obsessed with machinery and completely forgot the whole world. In his office, Li Fanyu waited for more than an hour, but he didn't see this guy's attention taken away from the computer screen.

At this time, Wang Rui seemed to be a street painter who had seen the original work of "Mona Lisa", and he seemed to be a devout believer holding the holy garment of Jesus.

Completely immersed in the obsession with the pinnacle achievements of his field.

Li Fanyu called him three times in a row, but he never pulled him out of this state.

In the end, the helpless Li Fanyu had no choice but to leave first, thinking that after this second goods got his three souls and seven spirits back, he would make arrangements for the next step.

I waited until eight o'clock in the evening.

Wang Rui called excitedly and woke up Li Fanyu, who had fallen asleep in the design center of the Xcar department.

"Senior brother, this is definitely a head! I can't wait, let's get this engine out together, conquer F1 together, and create miracles together!"

Listening to Wang Rui's almost crazy middle two, Li Fan was stupid and cold.

"Alright, your current soul is back?"

"Well, I'm back! And my soul has been baptized and sublimated!"

ay

Li Fanyu sighed in his heart.

What kind of guys are my subordinates?

It's so special!

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll explain your mission. Li Fanyu shook his head, shook off his faint sorrow, and got down to business.

"Number one, you're going to gather Xcar's best engineers for me tomorrow morning and let them put down what they're doing, no matter how important it is. ”

"Second, starting tomorrow, the prototype, testing and commissioning of the FEtype engine will be the highest priority for the xcar department. ”

"Third, I give you the maximum authorization of Zhengxin Industrial Base, allowing you to use R&D materials, including supercomputers, but there is one thing, you must complete all the R&D work of the power unit for me within half a month. I need to see a power unit on the morning of the fifteenth day that fits on an F1 car and races in its best condition. ”

"No problem, senior brother!" Hearing these requests, Wang Rui slapped his chest with a bang: "I promise to finish!"

Facing Wang Rui's determination, Li Fan sneered, "I still have one more thing to finish." ”

"Then senior brother, you say. ”

"Fourth, if the first three goals cannot be completed due to any human error on your XCAR side during this period, you will prepare for me. Do...... Brush the toilet for a year in the R&D center, and be a cleaner for a year!"

Faced with this punishment, Wang Rui shuddered.

"Senior brother, men's bathroom or women's bathroom?"

"Male. ”

"I know, senior brother, I will definitely complete the task!"

Wang Rui felt a chill in his heart,

Recently, the Group is deepening its cooperation with the UK, and in this context, technical exchanges and exchanges are becoming more and more frequent. It is said that the R&D center has reached an in-depth cooperative relationship with several design universities in the UK, and in the next few months, a large number of British university students will enter the Zhengxin R&D center for permanent study.

Damn, I heard that ten British men and five pairs of Ji licked Ji Ji in the toilet. If this is assigned to the R&D center to clean the toilet, what the hell will it be......

Senior brother, you are too vicious!

How can I have such a second-class boss?

Wang Rui thought in his heart - don't make a mistake.

Li Fanyu actually has no distrust in Wang Rui and XCAR's abilities at all, but in the past few years, because he was too conniving, these boys have become accustomed to lawlessness.

So now it is necessary to beat, and it is a regular beating, so that they have a B number in their hearts.

After getting Wang Rui, he immediately went to Austria.

There, he will meet with Cheng Ke and go together to open up the F1 territory that belongs to Zhengxin!
