About

How do cars work? It's a simple question, without a simple answer. That's what this channel is for! You could search the web endlessly for consumable information, or you can watch my simple to understand videos. I'm a graduated mechanical engineer with a passion for cars, and my goal is to help other people passionate about cars learn how they work. Hope you find my videos enjoyable; feel free to ask questions! New videos every Friday. Jason Fenske - Channel Owner - Engineering Explained

The McMurtry Spéirling Has Driven Upside Down - Someone Finally Did It! Watch The Full Upside Down Video - https://youtu.be/g6LYcgaQ46c Subscribe to Engineering Explained for more videos! - https://goo.gl/VZstk7 For the first time in history, a car has driven upside down, using only the downforce it creates, no stunt loop momentum trickery, just brilliant engineering. It’s a fact that has been recited countless times - that if you drive fast enough, race cars, like those in Formula 1, could actually drive upside down. Well someone finally proved it, and with their own clever twist - no speed was required to make this happen. At zero miles per hour, the car is genuinely capable of holding itself to the surface, while upside down. Dab the throttle pedal, and boom, you’re driving upside down. Insane. The task is actually a very difficult engineering challenge, so I spoke with the team behind the McMurtry Speirling, and in this video we’re going to learn how they did it.
