it is hilarious to me that this is coming out in the same year that Formula 1, who has tried to pioneer this technology for the last decade, has given up on its potential and removed it from the regulations.
- chipsa 5y agoThe MGU-H that is being removed from F1 is based on entirely different technology, and has a much higher grade of waste heat to work with (being that it works with ICE exhaust gases. It's being removed mostly because of cost, though I would be unsurprised to find that it returns in a few years, if F1 stays ICE powered, simply because it is a really good thing for a hybrid car (minimized turbo lag, and it can recover extra electrical power).
- elif 5y agoF1 is required to stay ICE. Formula E has exclusivity into 2030's I believe.
