Best EV firefighting (thermal runaway) technique yet! | Auto Expert John Cadogan

Have you seen the bus one with the flames shooting out 50 feet... like a huge rocket engine... Jesus fuck that - fuck that I am walking or riding a bicycle...

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: Yeah, I've seen it, that's really a sight to behold...scary!

no one figured it out, this was already known it just so happens that the information was ignored until recently...

when the first nuclear reactor was created and tested etc. they already figured this stuff out, that is why nuclear subs are designed to pump sea/ocean water directly in the pile of the reactor if there is ever any problems...

@sbseed: I didn't know that...now I do!

@sbseed: I thought warm salt water compresses were better for piles....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: never read or heard of heated salt water being better or used at all... in the reactor that would actually be extremely dangerous since salt is corrosive and heated salt water would speed up that process...

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: they might used a type of brine or salt water mixture for other parts of the reactor/heat exchange/turbine potentially but i could only see that being used for backup diesel engines to help with heat regulation in a radiator type setup. altho i could be wrong about that. as i am not any kind of expert on nuclear reactors....

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: also because of the corrosive nature of sea salt and the radiation they use a lot of titanium in many/most of the 'hot' parts of the reactors, of course with plenty of shielding as well lead being one of the main materials (obviously)... that is about the extent of my knowledge on nuclear reactors for the most part. (which is true as far as i know)

@sbseed: You missed it..... Piles is another word for heamorrhoids. That sly little joke went straight over your head....
