No wonder the UK leads in F1 car design

At 9.40 when he starts talking pressure waves...

Just mesmerizing from start to finish.

That is fairly basic engine design, optimisation of intake and exhaust manifold harmonics. Get it right and you can add a significant chunk of power. Get it wrong and the engine could shit it's guts out.
Gets harder at 11000 rpm. Trying to do it for a 2 stroke is the sort of thing that gives you a headache

Re:

Dunno about ‘basic’ engine design revving to10500 rpm !!! but that proper F1 NA howl does it for me. Its more about the way that Bruce Wood of Cosworth describes how the design works in such incredible detail - its amazing. I have watched countless YT videos from all the Super/ Hypercar makers and nobody has explained it like this. I love a good engine me

Nah, i mean the principle rather than the specifics, make sure you get the low pressure and high pressure peaks in the right place to assist the various parts of the cycle. i.e. high pressure when you are trying to get air into the cylinder, low pressure when you are trying to get exhaust gases out!

And it's not likely to be on many youtube videos, it's mostly extremely dull!

Ah, i just checked your profile, fair enough. It was just his mastery of ‘communication’ of all the design elements that impressed me really, as much as the noise. The likes of Christian von Koenigsegg and the Veyron engineers never convey this - imo Adrian Newey’s obsession with tiny details etc
