      ⁠Over 20 million cars are estimated to be scrapped each year. Even if only 10% of them were EVs, that is 2 million EVs with on average over 5,000 battery cells. That is 10 billion battery cells disposed annually. Plus the number of EV battery cells disposed of when batteries are replaced.
      Most smart phones have 1 battery cell. So 5.3 billion phone would likely be 5.3 billion battery cells. Plus older phones may not have lithium ion batteries.

      @@suburbanyobbo9412 people don't typically toss their car in the trash can when they are done with them. We do have recycling avenues for cars and small electronics but people are typically too lazy to properly dispose of household consumer electronics and such. It is already unusual for regular car batteries to end up in landfills. It would be very strange for EV battery packs to end up where they aren't supposed to be.

      @@longggg318ti You are making a lot of assumptions about future systems, as are many of those singing the praises of EVs. The claim that EV batteries will largely be properly disposed of or recycled is based on the assumption that batteries will be returned to the manufacturer. This is a radically different system from existing systems and infrastructure.

    All it takes is microbial decomposition of organic waste for a fire to occur. That's often what sets off a bundle of oily rags as well. I see some comments on lithium batteries and those are certainly a problem as well, but I've seen piles of mulch smolder with nothing other than decaying wood fragments and leaves. A bit of a breeze hits it just right and you have flames. Not all forest fire are man-made either. Most are just nature doing what it does.

If you breathe small amounts over many years, serious health consequences will certainly result.

      The way if flowed out to spread matches organic fire. Oily rags, wet wood, etc. A battery would have just been one spot and slowly spread as stuff around it catches it. There was a lot of heat to start with. Organic fire start slowing by building heat untill poof. A battery is just a short and instant fire with little heat around it.

      Pretty sure someone is behind the claw. As for the jets, some are likely automatic, but manual control is allowed on some/all too for more precise firefighting.

      An autonomous system is not always more accurate than a human. In some cases, yes, but in other cases, a human can use common sense and instead of hitting the high spot of the fire, they can bring it down from the edges/also stop it from spreading further by soaking the perimeter of the fire instead of the center.
      A robot does not have common sense. It only has instruction.

    I once owned an LG mobile phone. The lithium-ion battery had swollen, and I did not use that phone much at all but I left it plugged in to the charger so it would always be charged when I did need it. With the battery being swollen up like it was I think it was only a matter of time before it had started a fire in my home. Glad I caught the problem before disaster happened.

      @Kiflaam Smothering a fire is a great idea in principle, but a) don't try smothering self-sustaining fires like battery fires, and b) don't try smothering fires with flammable materials.

    • @FireRover
      @FireRover  Рік тому +2

      @Kiflaam The issue with smothering a lithium-ion battery fire is that the chemical reaction creates oxygen so the fire will still burn and can start collateral material on fire, which can get out of control. A battery needs to be soaked, including all of the surrounding material, to stop the chain reaction. Check out this incident. It is important to stop the fire, but most importantly it is to stop the fire from jumping to the rest of the containers that hold more batteries. ua-cam.com/video/I_iJ37UEvUE/v-deo.html
