That corrosion control module...loll! I'm a drafter, and have done about 7 years total doing cathodic protection, which is the principle they're implying they're using. It is a real thing, and it is used in various applications, such as bridges, ships, and even buried pipelines. However, there is a slight problem. To borrow a paragraph from Line-X: These devices depend on a circuit being completed. For bridges the wet soil completes the circuit. For ships the salt water completes the circuit. The air around your vehicle does not complete the circuit for your car. Unless you drive in water constantly or park your vehicle in the soil (or in salt water) you cannot complete the circuit and thus cathodic protection is worthless when it comes to protecting your vehicle. Hope that helps explain it! In short, they're trying to describe a real thing that works. Just, it doesn't work on cars.

[@RippenGriff]

Cathodic protection usually requires a sacrificial piece of metal that is rusting, to protect the equipment that you don’t want to rust.

[@Mr_KayZ]

Electrical engineer here! Regarding the EMP clip at 14:38, well. Its complete nonsense. What an EMP is is defined pretty well by Tony, but what its also capable of, especially a nuclear level EMP blast, is capable of frying circuits without a power source as it can incur induction in the circuits (remember how generators are actually just motors whose shaft is made to spin in a magnetic field to produce electricity? Think that except a billion times stronger in terms of nuclear EM energy), overload the circuits without any power sources attached to them and effectively fry them all. In other words, that shunt mod for the battery is worthless if the circuitry themselves are still vulnerable. And the makers of the product will know this too. Complete scam.

Basically the only way to protect your car from an EMP is a Faraday cage. Or get an analog engine. Modern circuitry is very resistant to power surges but an amp would probably be too much. No one really knows because we aren’t just dropping a-Bombs to find out.

[@conorstewart2214]

I came across that scam online myself. They claim it can be used to protect your house too and claim that it was featured in a DARPA or MoD paper on EMP resistance, in actuality the product is called “EMP Shield”, so likely just the words “EMP” and “shield” were used somewhere in the paper. There have been lots of scams that are absolutely ridiculous and they tend to target the current societal concerns. Here in the UK there was one to help with higher energy prices, it claimed that by plugging this device in it cleaned the power and saved up to 80 % on your electricity bill, working on the principal of power factor correction but it was just a tiny box with an LED. There was another I saw that you were supposed to pay £2,000 for plans for this generator that you could easily build with commonly available items and it would just constantly create power and you would never have to pay for electricity again. There was one about heating too. Other common ones are online courses, from everything like starting businesses, stock trading and drop shipping to how to make yourself happy, how to get women, how to become an “alpha male”, etc. the vast majority of them are just nonsense. Unfortunately these scams do work, people wouldn’t do them if they didn’t make money on it and in general people are too eager to jump on anything that in their minds could work, mainly because they don’t understand anything to do with it. People are also too eager to believe that the government, industry, etc, are keeping a secret from them and that some person selling a course has found a trick to beat the government, industry, etc.

[@ebuw]

Yeah, under ground utilities also use an anode array to prevent rust.

My grandfather was a firefighter and first aid trainer, and he always had a seatbelt cutter velcro-taped next to the driver's seat in all his cars. Not so much to free himself if he got stuck after an accident, but in case he arrives at an accident site and can't get an injured person out of a wrecked car because he can't get to the seatbelt buckle. Or he is injured in his own wrecked car and someone finds him and can't get at the buckle either. And with injured people in a mangled car, you really don't want to struggle with a knife on the setbelt next to their necks. Seatbelt cutters really would be a handy to tool to have within reach in such situations.

[@Lurch-Bot]

I've used a knife to cut a seatbelt after a wreck. There are techniques to ensure you don't accidentally cut yourself or the occupant. But I've also studied fencing and knife fighting technique; I might be a little more adept with a knife than your average person so those safety cutters are advisable for most people. The glass breaker is just a variation on the automatic center punch and could be problematic to use if you have a broken hand or wrist following a wreck; a common occurrence. Meanwhile, you can break a tempered glass window pretty easily with a firm stab with a sturdy pocketknife or you can place the tip against the window and smack the butt of the handle... There is a reason skydivers don't carry letter openers to cut tangled risers... More options with a switchblade. With a safety cutter, you might not be able to get the belt in that little slot if you are all shook up. The device here may work but it is too small and fumbly to use when you are literally shaking from a surge of adrenaline. Even Sandro is going to be shaky after a wreck. I know from experience. 'Chillin'' is a relative term.

[@omadduxo]

I have a similar tool in my car for situations like this. But 2 of them and not just one. One of them in the middle console for myself and one in the first aid kit for if i have to help someone else. There are just 2 things that i don't like about the tool. First is that the tool is so small and you can see in the test that it's a bit hard to hold and use. The second negative point is the color. If you dropt that thing in an emergency situation, in a car with dark interiour or it goes under your set, then you will have a hard time finding it. Emergency tools always should be red. Or yellow. But not black.

1) You know you're a mechanic when you're most excited about tools over any other product. 2) The wrenches are very useful for hard lines, to get them off you can simply just have the wrench move off the fitting, while it's over the line you'd be able to spin the ratcheting end by hand afterwards.

Yessss. But I just like to try and repair stuff

[@Lurch-Bot]

Should have a clutch so it is a vastly more useful tool. And how lazy are car mechanics getting these days anyway?

It is just a good way to put scratches in your hydraulic line that is under 3000psi of pressure and lead to a failure.

3:00 It's likely a scam, but in general, presenting some sort of charge or current on metal parts change their ability to resist rust. The best option however is just to make sure you have some zinc pieces connected to the chassis, that will be very effective actually. (It's one of the reason why you zinc-coat iron pieces: besides forming a protective layer, it also forms a sacrificial layer of zinc that actively prevents the iron from rusting.)

[@billlewis1483]

The EMP protector would use MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and spark gaps just like the ones we put on home electrical panels to protect homes from lightning strikes. The reason for the connection to the chassis is because high voltages travel on the surface of conductors and not through the conductors so it will travel on the surfaces of the vehicle. Whether it would protect against an actual EMP is questionable because there is no place for it to go to earth ground unless the tires are wet. Though the pulse is microseconds, it has no place to go to get away from the electronics. Notice the chains hanging from the bottom of fire engines. They provide the path for the electricity to go to the ground which would blow the main circuit breaker if a stream of water or a ladder hits a power line. The ones for homes do work because the electrical panels are connected to earth ground. Just a bit of information, "If a powerline falls on your car, DON'T get out of the car unless it is on fire. When your foot hits the ground you will be electrocuted. Stay in the vehicle until help arrives. If you have to get out, jump out without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time and then hop away with both feet together." A lesson from the electric company. I enjoy your videos.

[@bigdfitness5020]

Why hop away with both feet together?

[@reaganharder1480]

​@@bigdfitness5020current flows when there is a difference in electrical charges between two sides of the circuit. The voltage in transmission lines is high enough that a downed line will create a gradient of charge on the ground, such that the distance of a footstep is more than enough to create a massive difference across your two feet and thus push lethal current through your body. Keeping your feet together minimizes the distance between your points of contact with the ground, and thus the electrical potential between your feet

[@7miracles71195]

im an electrician and i left a comment after yours explaining this as well i just deleted it because yours is a better explanation. have to add that there are cheaper just as effective products for home surge protection and emp shield is one of the most expensive brands and despite their name i havent found any documentation rating them for high output emp protection just general surge protection up to "nearby" (not direct) lightning strikes

Former Corrosion Engineer here. The anti-rust method is based on Cathodic Protection, which DOES work; however, the technique is improperly applied via the method shown here.

[@joshuabuchholz7181]

Agreed boats/ships have been using this method for long time

[@edherdman9973]

my guess is there's nothing sacrificial and no medium to sacrifice into (like water)

[@benruss4130]

@@edherdman9973 pretty much. Proper sacrificial Cathodic Protection is essentially a low power, but long lasting battery. All metals have native voltage potential when left in a medium, such as the ground or water. The "negative terminal" of the battery is the sacrificial anode, and the positive terminal (cathode) is the metal to protect. The protected metal is usually iron, or another metal with a less negative voltage potential then the sacrificial anode metals, which is magnesium the majority of the time, unless we are dealing with potable water storage. The "load" of the battery is the ground and/or water. And what happens when configured properly is that electrons flow FROM the anode, through the load, to the cathode. When this flow is relatively evenly distributed it prevents corrosion from various sources, but especially galvanic corrosion (as the sacrificial anode is being galvanically corroded to supply the electrons). This does not work against acidic corrosion, and there HAS to be a medium like dirt or water for it to function properly. There is also impressed Cathodic Protection, it works the same except you are using DC electricity to drive the voltage differential instead of native voltage potentials.

[@travisnovak1979]

Came to say the same thing. Weve been using CP on gas and oil pipelines successfully for decades.

​@edherdman9973 you don't need a sacrificial anode in this method. It's basically like a rectifier.

"If it ain't puttin out fumes that make you hallucinate, it ain't workin" Angelina...sooooooo true!

[@HEAVENSDrag0n]

The Navy uses a similar system to the second product to protect ships. We send a current through the hull to help prevent corrosion. The catch is there has to be a sacrificial Anode. Meaning we just cause another item to rust before the actual hull.

[@johnno4127]

If I understand the technology correctly it would have to be forcing a current through the air. The circuit would go from the car body, to the air, to the sacrificial anode...and somehow not go the short way by skipping the air.

[@Defhrone]

Those fire spray cans work btw. Here in europe, you can buy them at some stores, but if you ask at your fire departement, you might be able to buy some of those cans aswell. They won't save your house ofcourse, but you can put out a decent trashcan fire. The spray lasts about 15-20 seconds usually, but those big red fire exstinguishing units don't last much longer at 12-20ish seconds, but that is a few extra seconds to save you. I'd have one in the car and maybe 2 in the house, they're really cheap and work decent. I have personally put out a trashfire with it, which was mostly burning plastic and paper and it did the job just fine

They do use electrical charge to keep boat hulls from rusting but I believe its more complicated than whatever this car product is

[@HDL_CinC_Dragon]

Bridges too!

[@SilvaDreams]

Yes but they also have a sacrofical plate so those degrade instead of the hull (or bridge supports). It only works in water though, so unless you are parking your car in water it won't do anything.

[@lysolcoke2HD]

Do they use something like electrolysis to deal with that kind of thing? The bridge and boat stuff is new to me.

​@@SilvaDreamsnot always our vessel is equipped with a accoustic anti fouling unit and there arent any sacrificial anodes

I love this channel you guys test stuff out to the max and don’t leave any room for guessing

[@katinaswanson6511]

EMP sinks do exist, but because of the nature of the damage - currents can get induced inside the circuit boards even! - their placement is very important. You can't centralize it like that. Also, they're usually sacrificial devices that explode from the high current due to catastrophic overheating.

[@jake93]

They don’t need to be sacrificial, a lot of stuff is designed to handle transient spikes, like a good multimeter

[@tylerjohn4607]

Yep. Also its funny that the video mentions grounding it into the frame of the car when in reality in an EMP the frame is going to be dragging a lot of extra power and be the first thing causing problems

[@katinaswanson6511]

@@xFlow150 That's a related but different thing. You need that next to individual chips in order to defend against EMPs, and even then it's a one-shot solution, the second burst will take the device out.

To stop an emp you need a faraday cage around the electronics, which is usually copper wire cage where wires are spaced closer than the size of the EMP wave (that makes the wave travel around the electronics rather than through them. Some military vehicles are 'hardened' against emp using this method)

[@linuxguy1199]

16:30 As someone who actually knows a bit about this kind of thing, that box won't do shit. An EM event like an EMP / CME won't affect the 12V system since the battery is very low impedance and the computer modules are designed to handle lots of interference (like the millions of mini EMPs produced by the spark plugs). An actual EM event would affect the sensitive, high impedance data lines inside the vehicle, likely going to the processor in one of your modules and directly cooking it. You can EMP proof a vehicle but it essentially means building a giant bus bar under the hood and running grounds from literally everything to that bus bar, plus wrapping literally every wiring harness in a specialized copper mesh sheathing that is repetitively grounded based on the frequencies you want to shunt, for defending against a real EMP you'd want to run grounds from the shielding on your wiring harnesses at a standard spacing of every 6 inches at least. You don't want more then an inch or two of wire to be unshielded. I've done this kind of stuff before because when you're building a railgun or near a really high power RF source literally everything around it gets EMP'd .

[@Danspy501st]

I also like that in the video they saw, the guy did said to put the black wire to the negative side of the battery, and then the green the ground. As Angela also pointed out, why do we need to ground it to the body/chassis, when it is already done that as soon we put the black wire to the negative side of the battery? I dont know if the guy in the video had made it, but whoever had made it doesnt seem to know alot about cars before hand

[@周生生-f1f]

in real life conditions you ain't gonna be hitting by an EMP without something even bigger to worry about (ie. nuclear explosion), even if this works instead of a massive faraday cage it's about the most meaningless thing to have

[@sugoruyo]

​@@周生生-f1f high altitude nuclear detonations could fry your electronics in a very wide area with minimal damage otherwise.

If you're worried about having a vehicle post-nuke, you just grab an old diesel car and forget about all the modern electronics, they'd be liability in the apocalypse even if they survived the EMP.

[@GlutenEruption]

[@misseselise3864]

3:45 i also want to add that corrosion and rust are NOT the same thing while that infomercial is using those terms interchangeably. they are both a result of oxidation but rust can only occur on iron and its alloys but corrosion can happen on any material and sometimes cannot be avoided

[@annehaight9963]

3:39 Rust is an example of a redox reaction, essentially a reaction where electrons switch places. When you connect a current to something you aren't adding electrons to it you're causing the electrons to move, and when the electrons are moving then they are obviously less strongly bonded to the atoms thus making it easier for redox reactions to happen.

[@jahsehonfroy126]

They use a similar process as the one shown to keep bridges from rusting. You can look it up. (Not saying that the one for a car actually works, but the concept works)

[@concinnus]

@@jahsehonfroy126 It's called a sacrificial anode, and is also used on pipelines, ships, etc.

[@aaronhoy3410]

Actually to @jahsehonfroy126 & @concinnus those little things are not like the galvanic cathodic protection systems you two are talking about. Those things are made to give the superficial appearance of replicating those real corrosion protection systems. Those systems work by creating an electron pathway between a metal structure & a sacrificial anode made of a more anodic metal than that used in the structure being protected. The corrosion happens in the anodic areas where the electrons flow out from the metal whereas the cathodic areas of metal have electrons coming into it & the corrosion process is slowed quite a bit. When something rusts normally the rust spreads throughout the structure because the corrosion process alters the properties of the metal during the process of rusting which causes the areas which are anodic & those that are cathodic to move around the structure. By using sacrificial anodes the increased anodic property of the metal ensures that the anodic/cathodic areas do not move around the structure but stay static. Of course the sacrificial anode, as the name implies, does rust more quickly & does need to be regularly replaced with new material in order to continue functioning. Now, the reason why these little devices for a vehicle do not work is because galvanic cathodic protection systems require 2 characteristics in order to function. The first is that there must be an electron pathway between the sacrificial anode & the structure being protected. Now, those little devices accomplish with the direct connection they have to the metal panels on your car. However, the next part is where those things fail. The second characteristic is that the anode & cathode of this little loop system must be in the same moisture-bearing electrolyte to facilitate ionic flow between them. The atmosphere is not an electrolyte. That's why you see these systems in places where they are submerged within some sort of liquid [like underwater,] or in stuff buried in the ground. Without this electrolyte facilitating the closed circuit nature of this system you are not getting the reduced corrosion effects of the metal structure from the cathodic uptake of electrons with the electrons all flowing out of the sacrificial anode. Instead both the original metal structure [the car,] & the newly attached metal object are losing electrons at the natural rate of their respective metals in the environment they are in. I hope all that above makes sense to people. I'm sorry but it's late & I'm tired.

[@concinnus]

@@aaronhoy3410 Yeah, I didn't look at what he was talking about; I was just naming the concept. It makes sense that it wouldn't work here.

[@OverlandOne]

The problem with protecting your vehicle, phone, or any electronic device from an emp attack (assuming that product works) is, where are you going to get gas? Gas station electronics have been fried, grid is down for about a year or more. No power, no cell phone towers so, who are you going to call and how? No internet even if your laptop still works. Most people have not thought this through.
