Interesting, but that won't work when the battery is installed in a vehicle. There is no access to apply the extinguishing agent with the body and interior of a car obstructing the ability to apply to the seat of the fire...
@argentum530 Perhaps not but having hazardous materials in any place would be prime for fighting fires would it not? You wouldn't have hydrocarbon manufacturing facilities without a sort of special fire system so why would battery plants be without them?
So you're saying if a car battery catches fire then all you have to do is uninstall it, drag into the street, wait for reaction to finish then put out the flames? Biggest fail demo i've seen in a long time.
Well, I guess it’s good they’re able to spray the hose inside the car. And, good the let it burn for a bit since if a car catches on fire it isn’t likely the fire department will be there immediately. This was a demonstration and test. They were provided with a battery pack so they worked with what they had.
Hell the fire EV fire I ever seen my first thought why not use a nitrogen liquid to put out the fire in bottles like the Co2 types but have liquid coming out
Nitrogen was tested by insurance company researchers, and it didn't work. One big issue that liquid N2 requires requires refrigeration down to -321 degrees F (-196 degrees C) to keep it from boiling off, along with cryogenic-safe hoses and gloves. Fire departments/brigades aren't likely to be able to afford such expensive items. In contrast, CO2 liquefies at only -69 degrees F, and once liquid can stay liquid without refrigeration at more than 5 atmospheres of pressure in a container like a CO2 extinguisher.
I looked it up and there is no PFAS in this. That's great! We need good firefighting foams that can be used on hydrocarbons that don't contaminate the environment forever once applied.
lol, it's just soapy water "Beginning as a singular molecule with a polar head and non-polar tail, the addition of F-500 EA® concentrate is designed to enhance efficiency and expand your fire suppression capabilities."
No, it's a little more complex than that, since if the time/temp measurements are true, it actually is interfering with the lithium fire-supporting chemical reactions.

Trump is blowing Elon's tunes these days, haven't you heard? You do know E.V.'s were here long before Biden-Harris took office, right? You're probably one of those ''smart people'', who believes rising sea levels will just give you more seafront properties...

Bingo... unless you flip the car over 🤣
Did you ever consider this could be a solution for fire control within facilities that manufacture this product?
@@dirge8982 Can you direct me to reports of battery fires in manufacturing battery plants?

Reminds me of those fireworks that just do their entire thing on the ground.
The battery reaction had stopped and only the flames needed putting out just like any other type of fire.

That will be handy to put out all the batteries laying around in the streets not under something, you know, like a car.

No mention of Toxicity of the smoke?
They are wearing SCBA.
Can one get fire insurance for one’s ev like for one’s house?
What is the actual temp?
What explosion?
Gas explosion.
Sounds like the battery module has the fire extinguisher INSIDE it.

More forever chemicals?
Hope is battery chemistry changing to none combustible in the not so distant future.
Very difficult to find a chemistry that doesn't have a potential to you know, exhibit the chemical reaction it was designed with. 😂
@@rkan2 He is talking about the PFAS in the foam being applied.
@@SpencerRyllSmith Talking about both afaik

Its a try, but along way from deployment
One rechargeable AA inside a large plastic container?
Biden Harris green energy push. 😢
Fortunately, these types of fires happen about as often as Trump speaking the truth. 😉

@@phillipzx3754 So, almost never?
I think you're wrong there, they burn way more often then Trump speaking the truth..
