Russell command rescue.

Halo is the greatest invention

Zhou Guanyu can be safe and sound. It is a great fortune, but as he himself, Halo is the most critical factor to ensure his safety.

The so -called HALO is actually a circle of titanium alloy protection structure in front of the driver's cockpit. This design introduces F1 in 2018 to prevent the driver from being damaged by flying debris such as tires or fragments during the game. It can also make the driver from being squeezed and collided.

Zhou Guanyu Fa Wen.

According to the official description of F1, the test data shows that Halo can withstand 15 times the static load of the vehicle itself, and the impact of about 12 tons is equivalent to the weight of a double -layer bus.

Because of HALO, when Alpha Romeo's car was completely flying and buckled all the way to gliding all the way to hit the guardrail, Zhou Guanyu was still in a state of no contact with the ground and wall.

Of course, this is not the first time Halo has saved the driver's life.

2020F1 Balling Station, Has driver Gross's racing car broke out of control into the guardrail, the cockpit burned a fire, and the car was also broken into two. Accompanied by slight burns.

Gross said afterwards: "Halo is the greatest invention."

Zhou Guanyu was rescued.

What is the Halo system

Halo system adds titanium alloy protection circles in front of the driver's cockpit.

Because of its appearance, the Halo system is nicknamed the "human character drag" by fans -HALO is a system designed in the starting wheels designed for Formula Racing to provide a system that provides sufficient head protection for drivers.

It is mainly used to protect the driver from being invaded by flying debris and retains the unique open cockpit of Formula Racing.

In the test, the HALO system can withstand the static load of 15 times the quality of the vehicle itself under the collision of the car and the car collision, which can significantly reduce the potential damage.

In other words, this 7 kg weight component can withstand the impact of about 12 tons, which is the strongest part of the whole car. There is a more vivid metaphor in the official description of F1 -the weight of a double -layer bus. In addition, in the test of the vehicle's environment, Halo can prevent helmets from contacting walls or obstacles.

The Halo head protection system is made of titanium alloy material. F1 has been introduced since the 2018 season, but it was all opposed sounds at the beginning.

Because HALO increased the weight of 7 kg, and due to the design reasons, it affected the stability of the vehicle's center of gravity and chassis tolerance, and increased the cost of debugging and research and development of each team.

From the perspective of air dynamics, Halo also changed the kinetic energy at the downstream airflow, especially at the rear wing ... More people doubt that installing Halo will increase the escape time from the cockpit.

Because of its appearance, the Halo system is nicknamed "human character drag" by fans.

At that time, the managers of Mercedes -Benz team talked, "If there is a chance, I want to use a saw to see HALO." The driver, including Alonso, also expressed his unaccustomed habit of HALO, thinking that There is nothing.

But then, Halo really started the journey of saving life.

In the F1 Balling Station in 2020, Has driver Gross's racing car broke out of the guardrail. The cockpit burned a fire, and the car was also broken. , And accompanied by slight burns.

Gross said afterwards: "Halo is the greatest invention."

From Gros to Zhou Guanyu's stadium accident certificate, Halo is extremely important for racing. Some fans said that Bi Anqi used his own life to exchange the determination to develop HALO in the world of F1.

Because of this serious accident, Zhou Guanyu's performance on the silver stone track stopped abruptly, but the young man's performance inside and outside the field deserves everyone's respect.
