F1 brakes can reach temperatures of up to 1,000°C during a race. 🔥 So how do F1 teams cool them down between runs?
Here’s where it gets interesting.
McLaren takes the original DEWALT blower and modifies it using Formula 1 technology, adding bespoke 3D-printed cooling ducts that direct airflow exactly where the team needs it.
And we’re not talking about a gentle breeze. 💨
The blower pushes air at up to 125 mph (200km/h), a wind speed associated with a Category 3 hurricane. 🌀
When the car stops, it loses the natural airflow it gets while flying around the track. This modified setup allows the team to channel powerful cooling airflow directly to specific areas of the car.
From blowing leaves to cooling an F1 car.
Same DEWALT blower. Just given the Formula 1 treatment. 🏎️🟡

Brake F1 boleh mencecah suhu sehingga 1,000°C ketika berlumba. 🔥 Jadi macam mana team F1 sejukkan brake antara runs?
Kat sini baru menarik.
McLaren mengambil original DEWALT blower dan mengubah suainya menggunakan teknologi Formula 1, termasuk bespoke 3D-printed cooling ducts yang menyalurkan airflow tepat ke bahagian yang diperlukan.
Dan angin dia bukan biasa-biasa. 💨
Sehingga 125 mph (200km/h), kelajuan angin yang dikaitkan dengan Category 3 hurricane. 🌀
Bila kereta berhenti, natural airflow yang diperoleh ketika memecut atas track pun hilang. Dengan setup yang diubah suai ini, team boleh menyalurkan airflow yang kuat terus ke bahagian tertentu pada kereta untuk cooling.
DEWALT blower yang sama. Cuma dah kena Formula 1 treatment. 🏎️🟡
