does that mean that they did not have that loss in power, that they claim in the article? its because i have a hard time understanding that if they did had this kers failure, why they did not lost more pace than they did.scarbs wrote:Jump batteries, are the external batteries they pkug into the car to power systems until the engine has started.
Ηmm, something similar didn't happen with Senna's telemetry from Imola? Throttle beyond 100% ?SectorOne wrote:Checking the onboard both Ferrari´s throttle indicator never showed 100%, both stuck at 98%.
Bit strange if you ask me.
One time it actually glitched and showed 104%

This has been going on entire season on some cars, most notably the ferraris. Not sure what to think of it.SectorOne wrote:worth pointing out that both Ferrari´s had the 98% problem.
I´ve only seen the 104% on Alonso´s so far though (about a second until it reverted back to 98%)
No other car yet as i´m watching has this issue.
Edit: Button´s car showing 99%
Then it´s probably not car related but something with the telemetry.

Seems like they were just running too much wing to be 'racey' but they probably wouldn't have been able to qualify so well without it.
Ok, that certainly makes a lot more sense than being that much down for the whole race.dr_cooke wrote:f1316 wrote:I can not imagine he was missing 140 hp as claimed in the article - if so he'd have been nowhere.

On Spanish TV he stated just after the race that he had fuel flow issues and Hybrid problems on the first lap after each pit stop and also during first lap of the race. Seems to be some recharging problem.
ERS - K is synchronous permanent magnet AC motor . These motors run very high rpms because they are mechanically linked to the driveshaft and their speed is connected to the speed of the IC engine...also if you look at the torque output equation of the electric motor T = 9,55 * (Power/rpm) we can see that at low rpms - (power/rpm) will be very high, hence the torque output will be aswell.trinidefender wrote:Do you know if the ERS-K is a DC or AC motor? A slower turning motor does not always equal more heat.Pierce89 wrote: With electric motors the trend is to run more rpm. The same power at lower rpm means more torque and more heat. Heat hurts the efficiency of electric motors efficiency more than rpm associated friction. TBH I don't know much about electric motors because I waited till I was 31 yrs old to start on my engineering degree so I haven't worked much with electrics yet.
