Isn't the "Tesla plug" called the NACS (North American Charging Standard) system? I see in this video and your training slides has it labeled "Tesla Super Charger" which is misleading because it sounds like if it was an actual Tesla super charger (Red and White charger) we find in the malls or highways...

Garbage.. This is an old video.. but it was in my EV disaster thread… lol I highly fought the blanket instantly cooled the hunk of metal in minutes. The temperature readings are probably the reflection off the exterior of the blanket itself, not the true temperature of the burning hunk of metal. I guess the right politician has to burn his house down in order for this Net Zero insanity to calm down…

everyone is forgetting the purpose of the blanket... to CONTAIN the fire so it doesn't spread and burn everything else down around it... you can put the blanket on yourself, you don't need 4 firemen... the blanket does a great job of keeping the flames down. While the fire is contained rush and call the fire dept and you just kept your house from burning down while they get to you...

One time i was driving on i10 in New Mexico and a car started smoking. I was on the frontage road so I stopped to video a fire truck pulled up with just one guy so I put down my phone and helped him setup. That car was completely destroyed in about ten minutes. It was a gasoline car fire. Any car fire is going to be a bad fire.

This video proves conclusively, that the current EV battery is extremely dangerous! An Ev battery can go into a thermal runaway and end up in flames in seconds if any of the following occurs: 1) overcharging the battery when its full 2) Charging the battery at too high a rate 3) a short circuit in the battery itself: that can come from something damaging the circuit in a crash, or a sudden impact causing the metal contacts to come loose and short out. 4) the charge controller being faulty. Thus; in a summary: current EV's are just too unacceptably dangerous to own! A little tip to would be murderers out there, step 1) get the one to be murdered to drive a Tesla, step 2) Smash into the rear of the car, wait for the smoke to come out from underneath, if no smoke, ram the Tesla again. Step 3) step on it and get the hell out of there. It is advisab;le to have false number plates on the car that does the ramming. Step 4) Job done because Tesla will keep the victim inside ! Does this all sound too far fetched, too gruesome, unfortunately children, this is true!

Well, in my opinion, the problem with this device is that the HV-system will be alive with this plugged where it otherwise could be completely voltage free outside of the battery. Also the charging door needs to be unlocked to use this. I don't know about cars, but in our trucks there is a disable switch in the dashboard to disable the HV system all together. Additionally two LV wire loops under the seats to cut in case of an accident with the same function.

I suggest this is all very well for containing the fire, but from the "deprivation of oxygen" point of view, I suggest the lithium fire makes its own oxygen. The blanket might help a bit, but basically you still gave to wait for the fire to use all of its "fuel" up.

That smoke is still probably toxic as hell. And it’ll still probably be at risk of reignighting for weeks after. Want the fire done? Pulverize the car, douse in water and wait for the pyrotechnics to stop.

it is interesting that the fire blanket had to be applied for 40 hours. And the battery could still re-ignite. Blanket did not put out the fire - it merely contained the smoke and flame, and reduced the temperature as because the flames could not rise and cover the car's sheet metal, the sheet metal temperature dropped.

Blanket does not work. Explosive gases are contained by the blanket as fire fighters pull blanket around the vehicle they are seriously exposed to explosions.Electric batteries proved all that is necessary for fire and smothering a battery will not stop the reaction of the chemicals in the battery . Water , blankets or foam have been tested they don’t work in emergency situations. Gas vehicles catch fire but those fires can be extinguished and not reignite a month later . Electric vehicles were promising not so much anymore for me .

Much better environmentally than application of water,but this will not extinguish the combustion,merely contain it.Once initiated,these fires will only die out when they consume all of the product or the product is brought to a temperature that is below its ignition threshold.The most prevalent policy now is to allow the material to burn itself out while protecting adjacent property.

It's nice to see the fire fighters use PPE for protection during this demonstration. However, there was no thought about the toxic effect the smoke will have on the innocent pedestrians or public at large that would inhale the smoke. Well done. This kind of testing proves that climate change is a hoax at best when these kinds of tests should be done in a controlled lab or building that could filter the release of toxic smoke into the environment reducing damage to the environment and the public at large. Well done.

How does a dodgy test of a fire blanket prove that climate change is a hoax? For most of my 76 years on this earth, scientific literature has always said that the Earth is expected to warm up, as we are coming out of an ice-age. What is not proven, yet anyway, is that a slightly more rapid warming over the last 30 years or so is due to natural random variation or due to modern man's activities.
