There's a lot of talk about the turbo lag that F1 engines will experience next year as they will no longer be able to count on the support of the MGU-H, the motor generator that recovered thermal energy from exhaust gases and transformed it into electrical energy, which also reduced the response time of the supercharging system. There are manufacturers who have tried to limit turbo lag during the design phase by choosing a smaller turbine, because the intention is to exploit the flow of electric energy mainly on the straight, when the car is at full power, to reduce the lift and coast essential for recharging the battery, since the energy recoverable from the braking phase will not be sufficient, especially on certain circuits, to guarantee electric power for a full lap. We'll have to get used to the idea of hearing some internal combustion engines deliver power even with the throttle closed. It will be interesting to see who is developing these uses of the internal combustion engine. Mercedes is being talked about, but also Red Bull Powertrains and Audi. It's important to remember that the House of the Rings won the last Dakar Rally with the RS Q e-tron, which used the DTM's four-cylinder turbo engine to power the Formula E MGU05 electric generator, via a third electric motor. submitted by /u/Darkmninya |
