I think I understand everything about these brakes now...
I am under the belief that they were, at first, comprised of fluffy unicorns and everything cute. However, after having gone through many rigorous tempering techniques, it had melted the one weak and fluffy unicorns into demonic death machines that are industructible and can absorb a great deal of friction without wearing down with heat because they come from the deepest hellfires ever known. This tech is 15 years before it's time!
everyone should google this stuff and get answers from a professional F1 tech if they wanna know more about things like this not read what mr joe shmo posted on it that can easily post anything on any video
@sb350allday We at CAFS know the deepest perspective of F1 brakes and clutches. When the F1 techs have a problem with a material, they come to us to solve it. Redbull did pretty well this year because of this fact.
@sb350allday No one person can claim to know all and we do not know everything about C/C materials, but we are the ONLY ones making C/C at a University and studying it deeply. If those of you out there want a good job in the C/C industry, come to school at SIUC and we can guarantee a job in the C/C world.
@tubedude2735 This is correct...It is a disk brake made out of carbon-carbon. That's a carbon fiber preform filled in with pure carbon by the vapor deposition method or CVI (Carbon Vapor Infiltration). The rest is heat shielding since the temperature goes as high as 1400 C during a race. Then you have the air duct system to cool the brakes. Notice the holes on the outside edge of the disk.
@tubedude2735 On the inside, it is similar to a turbo, at least that's what they tried to make it, but anyway, the air is rammed through ducts facing the front of the car and into the brake assembly then out through the holes. The disk looks very much like an ordinary automotive disk in shape, the material is what makes it special. Each of those disks cost $3000.
@TheOriginalGayman just trying to get people to use their brains here. ty however look @ the cylindrical part of the brake you will see potential for it to be both. show me a exploded view then I'll believe otherwise as I've been told by others most f1 brakes are drum type
@circusboy90210 watch the second video on related videos and you will see that it's a discbrake. that big thing inside the disc is for cooling. you just can't see the caliber very well in this vid, but you can see the top of it though.

It's a disc brake. What appears to be a drum is part of the duct used for cooling.

it's that a mixture of drum brakes with disc brakes?

@96integra02 what does it look like?? can tell you it's definatly drum , look @ the mass on the in side of the wheel.
circusboy90210 1 year ago
@circusboy90210 what? it is NOT a drumbrake. It's DEFINITELY a dicsbrake. Only if you're blind you would mistake this to a drumbrake...
