FYI to EV haters... EVs 60 times less likely to catch fire than ICE vehicles and there is no need to use water at all. Just need all Fire Departments to get the proper tarps
@sundance2005 3 ай бұрын
My understanding was that these battery fires create their own O2 and even burn underwater. These blankets might help to keep the car battery fire from spreading but I don't see how it's going to help put it out.
@JPVerheuvel 3 ай бұрын
You are right, the blanket doesn’t put the fire in the battery out. It provides control of the situation, provides the confined space that the aerosol units need to be effective and by spraying a water mist over the blanket, toxic vapor is reduced. (Yes, I work at Fire Isolator 😉)
@dominikhejl5748 3 ай бұрын
that is correct for lithium cells with high nickel/cobalt. in that case, fire blanket is for fire control, not fire extinguish tool. LFP and sodium chemistries do not produce O2 in battery fires. most of what was shown in the video was not a battery fire anyway.

another stupid thing known about electric battery fires is that water doesnt help... if used correctly water helps... but has dangers like electric shock even if its low risk. but as water also cools the batteries it definitely decreases size of fire... and slows down of evaporating chemicals...
@JPVerheuvel 3 ай бұрын
Agreed! But it keeps reigniting so that is why with Fire Isolator we focus on containment rather than putting thousands of gallons of water on it, contaminated water that then flows into the ground as well.

@@JPVerheuvel and where do you think cars for crash tests come from? early production. you can just as well release some cars for fire safety tests. the first clip in the video was an example from Czech Republic. They used bare chassis of 30 old ICE car. that is not how you do relevant testing

@@dominikhejl5748The first video was not from the Czech Republic, it was from Denmark and we used a hybrid Renault Fluence with the battery in thermal runaway. The Czech Republic car was indeed just a frame but it was used to test the blanket + aerosols.

Firefighters have to be cognizant of the presence of Hydrogen gas when covering an EV with a fire blanket. The danger of causing a Hydrogen gas explosion increases when water is applied. The gas explodes when the heat from the LIB fire coverts water to steam which expands hydrogen gas under high temperature and vapor pressure. Hydrogen gas has the widest flammable / explosive range of all gasses.

Very nice they invent these. But you want us to inhale the toxic fumes that can kill you? Or burn ourselves to pull these over the biggest scam the car industry has ever produced? Green washing. The flames can be jetting from the ev of over 20 meters and they can explode with a huge bang. Mostly when the firemen arrive the car is already burned to the ground, with temperatures over 2000 degrees C. Just ban these toxic vehicles. Let ev drivers pay 10 times the amount of a normal car insurance. Some insurances won't let you park an ev in your own garage or in a certain radius from your home. Now why would that be?

Yeah cutting oxygen only slows burning of plastics etc in car, battery will continue to melt through car body to road or boat deck or hull beneath. Dumping into a tank is of course not feasible anyplace other than an outdoor car pack. An EV on open highway, a garage, a ferry will be almost impossible to get to a tank without costing tens and tens of thousands in haz mat suited workers time, heavy equipment, road closures, permits, police escorts fyi lawn and garden show, EV lawn mower caught fire, it was BURIED and still burned emitting gas through feet of topsoil above it. The only possible solution would be a neutralizing chemical packed around each cell, cutting energy storage in half?

I'd imagine that is still needed once the initial fire has been put out. It can take a week or more before the battery is neutralized. The battery fire is self-contained and creates its own oxygen. Putting it in a dumpster of water with some chemicals to neutralize the battery would make it safe. This blanket is amazing to contain the fire and prevent further spreading till the dumpster of water is transported to the location.
