Lights out Alice!
Mechanical and Automobile engineering will always be pretty close to my heart and hence whenever I come across cool technical articles or videos, I am taken to my happy place. Here are a few of the best readings and videos I have come across in the last few days:
- Marshall Pruett on what Indycar teams do to re-sticker the cars after a parts change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pMYtZGWTGo
- TL;DR : Awesome video highlighting as to how Team Penske keeps a binder containing sticker dots from different parts of the cars in current livery to ensure that whenever a bolt or part is replaced, the aero is not disturbed
- Marshall Pruett on what engine warmup procedures look like in the Indycar paddock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wworyc4j_PI
- TL;DR : Warm-up procedures on a racecar are what geeks like me drool over. The complexity of the different sub-systems working together while the need to ensure that proper sequence is followed is what OCD dreams are made of. To top it off, warm-up revs are pretty sweet to hear as well
- The RedBull powertrain inside scoop: https://www.racecar-engineering.com/articles/f1/red-bull-powertrains-rbpth001/
- How China is strategically ensuring control over the EV industry: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/16/business/china-ev-battery.html
