Element Fire Extinguishers - Jay Leno's Garage

[@OffRoad-jh1do]

This will same me a lot of money over several years. I have to have 10 fire extinguisher recertified every year. It Cost me over $350.00 per year. I am ordering some now. Thanks Jay, for showing us new products!

[@dionlembut]

fire extinguisher demo without fire? I wanna see it kills fire

[@HankHill4]

Dion Lembut Buy one for yourself and try it out and make a video onIt

[@amunderdog]

They are in California; I think all open flames are illegal. I think they even outlawed fireplaces.

[@cobaltlukather9045]

they have their own youtube channel demonstrating multiple fires. just look up element fire extinguisher.

[@TheFarmingLife]

This would be an excellent product to put in the farm equipment. In the farming industry we have more fires in Harvest Than people realize. Hope you have a great evening

[@CommodoreFan64]

As someone who grew up on a family farm, I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@signlsirchir2156]

Grain fires are not fun.

[@Varinki]

We had a burnt tractor in for repairs at work a while back. The only reason the whole thing didn't go up in flames was the extinguisher that we had put in it a while back for the owner.

[@Digger927]

What toxicity? He clearly stated these were non-toxic....

[@peternt2008]

There are very very few chemicals that are not toxic or toxic over time. Even the normal fire extinguishers are toxic.

[@GA-in4mw]

I have this in my airplane (Cessna 172), part of safety requirements, safe to be used in flight as well as on ground, always there, maintenance free, and doesn't affect windshield if used. Well done designing this.

[@michaelrodgers9419]

I also keep one in my Mooney aircraft. Lightweight and way more effective than halon.

[@danh6720]

It might not affect the windshield, and it says it's non-corrosive, but it's worth being aware that Part 139 airports and fueling agents are required to have BC fire extinguishers because ABC fire extinguishers have historically been corrosive on aluminum. Maybe this isn't, the FAA is certainly slow to change rules, but I'd hate for you to put out a hangar fire or something like that and then cause problems with the aircraft.

[@GadgetAddict]

I got really excited after seeing a couple of "this isn't an ad" videos about these extinguishers. But then I saw some real tests with fires and they failed terribly. Just a warning, watch those other videos first - showing how these actually perform against fires.

[@rapido2963]

No fire extinguisher would put out a fully developed fire. The Element extinguisher is designed to ‘nip a fire in the bud’ ….. as indeed they all are.

[@llAdriennell]

I actually watched your other video on fire extinguisher yesterday because I wanted to put one in my car and wanted to know more about them. And now you upload this!!! Perfect timing! Buying one right now! Thank you

[@cobaltlukather9045]

when i start building and storing and working on my own cars and getting a dedicated garage for them, i'm certainly going to have these around. I've played with traditional extinguishers before and this seems incredibly more useful.

[@Torsee]

A bread truck converted to a moving van was moving a families possessions down the interstate. It caught fire in the engine compartment. The driver stopped , but was so spooked that he jumped out of the drivers side window. I had an extinguisher, I stopped along with a truck driver. That's when we learned a standard small extinguisher is useless. Two of us alternating couldn't suffocate the fire. Six to nine seconds of product is a joke. This product is revolutionary for the public. Hope they sell many!

[@davesracingchannel9261]

Torsee Would you please give my racing channel its 1400th Subscribe

[@nickyle7902]

yes that would bring the price down

[@ElementFire]

Thank you for the kind words. Last week a customer of ours put out an engine fire with their Element on the highway of a total stranger they saw stranded at the side of the road. Stories like that make it all worthwhile for us :)

[@aj3751]

you earn them, don't beg for them...

[@kidwajagstang]

Thanks Jay and the production team for bringing attention to amazing and great products and companies that deserve to be given attention. It really is a noble and kind act to use your celebrity, status, audience, and time to help folks that have superb products but no advertising budget or notoriety to gain some because they deserve it. I will always trust the person with nothing to gain that genuinely recommends something over a salesperson every time.

[@kidwajagstang]

Hopefully this will be the first major event to cause sales to spike and distribution deals to be made to allow for mass production and growth. Hope to one day see one of these as a common sight where the typical extinguisher is seen today.

[@jacksman7]

Good idea and I would be curious to see how this works outside with high wind. A standard 5# FE with 195 PSI would be superior probably in that scenario. Not to mention you have more stand off with a stored pressure FE. Would like to pick one of these up and test them.

[@clinthightowerclinthightow4950]

Really cool idea, only problem, they don't work to actually put out a fire. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTEgYiPgNhokMU

[@joeframer9642]

Thanks Jay, I'll be getting a couple ...nice find . Also late night TV sucks without you

[@bettygreenhansen]

I saw this product on Amazon and came to KZbin for the video. The only thing that would have sold me on this product harder would have been if you would have put out a real fire so I could see how fast the suppression is, and also maybe dig a little bit deeper into the science behind it. Nevertheless, I am going to order at least one for every vehicle, and maybe extra to give as Christmas gifts this year too! Fantastic!

[@sy_Danesh]

Dear Mr. Leno. I believe that Model 3 Tesla (dual motors), would be a very interesting and unique type of a car to feature on your show. I follow you, and the only time a Tesla was featured was 2013. Not many people know how advanced the technology (specially the software) is. Most car companies advertise their cars, but Model 3 is a big hit only on the account of word of mouth. Thank you.

[@wyattoneable]

I love these videos that help out small businesses. Plus we get great information. Everybody wins.

[@ElementFire]

Thank you for the kind comment. Mr. Leno was a real gentleman and it was a privilege to be invited to his garage

[@ToddKing]

I've watched other videos of the element in action and its performance in even mildly breezy conditions is limited unless you happen to be directly upwind of the fire. I wish it had more "push" to it, more like a traditional extinguisher.

[@c.varela]

I'm not a specialist, but I do believe it would work properly in an engine bay, because even with a regular fire extinguisher we should open just a little bit of the hood and then insert the extinguishing element in to it (cause it also means less oxygen).

[@ToddKing]

@@c.varela Yes, you don't want a big whuump of flames in your face if you open the hood. A couple years ago I had a electrical fire on the engine wiring harness on a motorcycle I was riding. By the time I got off the bike it was flaming pretty good. If I had an Element and been on the downwind side I might of had a hard time putting it out. I can see were they have there place though.

[@GTRWendy]

This is like a car wash demo without washing a car

Thanks Jay! You've introduced me to a lot of great products over the years like this and Odyssey batteries. I use Odyssey in my car and I'll be using element as well.

[@OhighOSkater]

That is really interesting. Thank you for these videos Jay. I appreciate you showing us products made by people who can't afford national advertisements. You're showing us products that we may have never knew existed and I think that's awesome. Thank you!

[@thatblockyplayer3819]

Jay Leno is so pure

[@ST-qe6pp]

Thanks Jay. I pulled the trigger on this for my C3. I literally just finished watching the other vid on the co2 fire extinguishers but that is old news now!

[@mosipd]

A guy in my marina had a fire in his engine room that did significant damage to his boat. A high pressure fuel line developed a pin hole leak and sprayed diesel fuel directly onto the hot exhaust risers as he was working on the engine. The chemical fire extinguishers were useless and the only thing that stopped the fire was manually triggering the automatic Halon system. I keep a box of these in my engine room now.

[@jirace]

I bought two of these: one for the car and one for the kitchen. Disadvantages seem to be that it requires someone to get closer to the fire and that a strong wind might limit the effectiveness. A typical fire extinguisher won't last as long, but it will probably fully discharge more product, so someone could blow and walk away. The advantage of this system is simplicity, portability/weight, time to correctly point and extinguish the fire or to hit multiple areas, not blowing the oil or gas or whatever in the process of extinguishing it, and easy clean up.

[@mreverybody1150]

Ive seen people activate this, toss it into the room where the fire is and walk away.

[@SupraNaturalTT]

I carey small haylon extinguishers in my Supra but this seems soooo much better. Will definitely be getting some.

[@roydudzic5046]

I respect Jay Leno for what he is a car guy. In this demonstration, they did everything but put out a fire. This product sucks if you actually want to put out a fire and save your life or property. I'm sorry I purchased one before I reviewed the product. Shame on you Mr. Leno for endorsing a product that doesn't work. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

[@DrewHughesMusic]

Love how Light it is. Weight saving in race cars is key. And I really love how it never goes out of date!

[@arnomaas6452]

you should have used it on an actual fire demonstration with a few basic fuels ( wood , fuel , plastic, grass e.t.c ) and also it would be quite useful to tell us the classification (letters) of the fire types it covers too ! ( if for example it can extinguish an electrical fire ! )

[@lennydelvecchio7716]

You make a great point. I'm going to link to this somewhat real-world test that shows its complete inadequacy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3LNnX-pmK6csKs

[@salvationracer]

Bought one for Autocross season since a fire extinguisher device is required. Also got the seat bracket mount.

[@d0x360]

Hell i might buy one or 2 for the house... Even for the long lasting version the price is about the same as a regular extinguisher but its smaller and more importantly you dont have to ever service it to make sure it works...awesome idea

[@stevesmith8854]

And I really like the guy's comment "it lost it's Peter"...I am going to use this going forward! 😂👍

Better than rent in Los Angeles ~ Heavy Onion Inc. a tiny technology company is recycling an RV off the streets of Los Angeles to launch an App. Last years, Vegas to California trip left us broke due to rentals, hotels and more. So we are taking a different approach, giving a couple a fresh start and saving some art in the process. Follow the Heisenberg test, an entrepreneur's adventure extended, to help food delivery in a new way. So We will need the Element fire extinguisher and a contact link to buy these ~Thanks Jay

[@shouldigetit]

That is very neat!

[@martinrps13]

That stick one is amazing….if you want to get so close to the fire that you pass out and die from smoke inhalation

[@mreverybody1150]

You don't need to get as close as people are doing and you can just place it somewhere in the direction and vacate the area. But I do think they should make the stick longer for that reason.

[@captwaynecochran4096]

Could it be ignited & thrown into a Boat's Engine compartment , then close the Hatch ? Would it extinguish the Fire like Halon ? Could you do the same process in a larger application with a couple & larger Engine Room ?

[@everycoLor_312]

Great segment considering *MOST KIDDE EXTINGUISHERS WERE RECALLED* so thanks J!

[@jschaddock9]

Would like to have seen an actual fire extinguished, Element has a video on there own sight but 3rd party video would be nice. Also, what makes this road flare style item worth $80? Its definitely worth having if it is effective at putting out a fire wont argue that but if its a gimmick then I'll stick with whats know to save life and property. Now thinking about it a gas will work differently in low/no gravity environments

[@ShainAndrews]

Only potential issue I see it if the striker cap somehow becomes separated from the body. Might be able to use the fire to get it started? Not sure how secure the cap is, might be a very small chance of this happening anyway.

[@ElementFire]

The striker cap is very unlikely to be separated from the unit but it is required to get the unit started. Throwing an Element into a fire will not ignite it.

[@CauliflowerMcPugg]

What a great product and a clever one. Hope they sell them outside the US

[@Jeffagarcia66]

Cops should have these as in addition to their other life saving tools. in case the primary runs out or someone is trapped and you have no choice at least you can toss a few of these thru A opening and have something or if you cant open the hood I can think of 10 other useful life saving reasons to have these ..Very Cool thanks Jay!

[@MrBluoct]

Jeff G too many... strobe tactical flashlights

[@Jeffagarcia66]

Yeah these would be great to have If they cant get a victim out fast enough then toss these into the vehicle and try to buy yourself a few seconds at least...then check the batteries in the flashlight DOH!

[@ElementFire]

Some very good insight. One thing not covered in the video is that Element can also fight a fire in confined spaces by absorption. In a car it can be deployed and the gas that comes out will put out a fire in a confined space without having to actively fight the flames. Element is currently used by police, special forces, and military in other parts of the world and we are currently working with North American Law Enforcement to make it standard equipment for the men and women that protect our nation.

[@stevensgarage6451]

they should give each cop a personal helicopter and hover-bike. They could definitely catch more criminals with those. Not like the money has to come from somewhere...

[@specialopsdave]

@@stevensgarage6451 you say that like tazers or guns are cheap (they require maintenance, the extinguisher does not)

[@petemedina8446]

[@NorthwestBronco]

In an actual vehicle fire, you can't beat a 5+ pound A,B,C dry chemical extinguisher. These products have their place. But when my car's on fire, I want the best proven product. This is a gamble. Plus, you have to be right up on the fire for it to work. With a dry chemical you can safely discharge from a distance. I'll choose the dry chem any day of the week.

[@steventrostle1825]

Very interesting, will order 1 for the kitchen, garage and for the car. Can they be stored under the hood of the car-away from the exhaust manifold?

[@tome9009]

So, when your engine catches on fire, how will you grab the fire extinguisher without getting burned. I don’t think storing it in your engine compartment is something that you should do.

[@Seegalgalguntijak]

I would love to see an actual test of such a unit, where somebody actually puts out a fire with that. Doesn't have to be a burning vehicle, just any kind of fire that fits the parameters of what the unit is able to do.

[@retiredfedleo6441]

People should pay more attention. From the Element website: "WHERE IS ELEMENT MADE? Element is designed and manufactured in Italy." It's not a revolutionary US space program product, this is just a guy who bought the US marketing rights to something that has been on sale in Europe for years. If it was so fantastic, all of Europe would be raving about it by now and it would be kitemarked to the European EN 3 fire extinguisher approval standard. It isn't. "IS ELEMENT CERTIFIED? Element cannot be used to substitute extinguishers in regulated environments that require a UL (or UL endorsed) certification." In the US that means this thing has no UL rating and meets no NFPA standard, cannot be used to meet DOT requirements for extinguishers on commercial vehicles either. Keep watching future videos to see if Jay replaces his big wall-mounted Halon extinguishers with these little tubes. I predict not. Moral: Buy a real fire extinguisher that has a real rating, real approvals and can put out more than a 1 or 2 square foot KZbin demo fire.
