Wings and Spoilers; Lift and Drag | How It Works

From high flying wings to splitters and spoilers, Aero makes cars look cool, but they also help cars handle! Aerodynamics is the study of how all that works, and it’s actually a few simple concepts that are responsible for all the weird shapes we stick n cars. There’s a lot of different factors that affect drag, downforce and how well cars move, so let’s get into it. This episode is all about Aero, and HOW IT WORKS!

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

I love how he explains things like I am an idiot. Because I am, in fact, an idiot.

10% yelling

30% laughing
100% learning, keep it up <3

Why is this guy not in any of the recent vids? He knows how to explain shit

"What a drag."

Why the hell is school physics not taught like this? This is enjoyable learning

Here's an idea for you, one of the areas of a car with the lowest pressure is the edge between the front bumper and hood. So next time you see a hood scoop or a headlight deleted into an air intake, realize it is literally the dumbest spot to put an intake, the intake is actually sucking air out of the engine.
You have to be going something like 200-300 mph before compression of the air molecules occurs and a "ram" air intake is possible.

I told my friends we are swimming through an air ocean. They said I was high. I was.

As a Formula Student engineer, i approve <3 This channel is awesome

Wished my teacher was this energetic and enhousiastic

But remember kids, a Huge wing doesn't mean a faster car.
In fact, your top speed drops.

Well, that was refreshing! Great content. Imaginatively written and performed. Nice production values. I applaud your editors and whole team. That was fun.

As an aviation enthusiast, I try to explain this to those crazy kids in my neighborhood who swap engines and turbo boost without knowing the first thing about aerodynamics. People who speed in the rain also scare me. They don't realize that the side profile of most cars is generally the same as that of an airplane wing. In fact, anyone who's ever gotten a wing seat has seen how a wing has to change shape before and after landing to spoil lift and promote traction. This video is awesome👍

“It spoils the air, its a spoiler!” *Roll credits*

[candacepederson]

I did NOT expect to enjoy this video so much. I just wanted to teach my kid about aerodynamic drag and didnt expect all the laughter. thank you

[matt_burner]

Bring this guy back. I loved this series.

Should have used the g wagon to represent "BRICK"

Small wings or...






BIG WANGS!!!!
