Short and Crisp. I was always keen to know the mechanism behind these airbags, so Thanks. And yes, I agree with you that Injury can be worse than death, sometimes !
My dude this video was excellent. Every word spoken was informative and the editing was clean and minimal. I'm sure if you keep making content like this you will see account growth.
Just wanted to ad that there are 2 squibs(inflators) on modern air bags. You can tell just by the 2 connector's on the back of the air bag. One is for full deployment and the other is a smaller charge(60 to 40%). The smaller charge is used when the driver or in the case of front passenger is under 97lbs(each manufacture has slight differences) or in lower speed accidents. Neat fact, those yellow wires and connectors are gold plated to have very good connections needed for hi speed signals from the SRS module in the event of a crash.
"Death, or even worse, injury" is an accurate depiction of how a person would feel after getting shrapnel lodged into their face at airbag speeds and living afterwards.
meh, depends on wether they live in america or not. I can imagine most americans just going like "yea idk dude just wheel me out back and leave me there, or just shoot me if you can"
Sodium Azide was not the propellant used in the Takata recalls that chemical was subject to clumping together in humidity. the propellant is a group of small cylinders that vary in size as to the amount of fill of the bag and the pressure required to escape the vinyl cover or dashboard. The azide does not have the clumping problem and thus does a controlled burn releasing the Nitrogen at a pre determined rate. The Takata propellent formulas clumping changed the controlled release to one fast instant deployment.
I think he said "it can cause death or even worse...injuries" i LIKE THIS GUY i HOPE THAT IF YOU EVER HAVE A CAR ACCIDENT YOU DONT GET INJURED! From the heart of my bottom!
Sorry i have a question, can i change the plastic cover with a non crashed airbag (i mean Not used) and put the airbag in Other plastic cover (same model car), it is dangerous?? Thanks by this video 👌
Those vent holes are actually there because if you completely sealed the bag, the material itself would rip and wouldn't be there to cushion an impact.
Another good video. I would emphasize that whenever you buy a car new or used, go to the manufacturer's owners page and register your car. Manufacturers use this to contact you with recalls and safety information. I bought all of my cars used and have registered them with Ford, Honda, Lexus and Mazda, and each company sent me an airbag recall notice. As a note, Ford has been the fastest on actually doing the replacement. I am still waiting on the others, but at least they notified me.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes the airbag recall is important, I decided to get mine done a few months ago. While doing some research on the recall I was surprised at how little information there is on what happens during the recall, so I made this short clip to show what's inside.
Nice video! I would point out: I believe that airbag manufacturers are moving away from sodium azide, due to its toxicity, and ammonium nitrate -- as has been used by Takata -- due to concerns of volatile shrapnel ruptures of the inflators. I don't know about in Canada, although I am assuming it is the same everywhere: airbag manufacturers are, I believe, now switching to guanidine nitrate as the chemical used in the reaction producing the gas in the bag. Guanidine nitrate is believed to be less toxic than sodium azide and less prone to violent shrapnel rupture than ammonium nitrate. Hopefully that will remain true over time. That said, I agree: It's best to play it safe and leave the handling of airbag inflators to folks who have been professionally-trained in proper handling of them. This is because that there is likely some inherent risk of explosion and toxicity regardless, due to the nature of the materials we need to use to get airbags to inflate in time to save our lives (until we can come up with something better, anyway). One final remark: For anyone interested, Battelle Innovations has a slow-motion video here on UA-cam of a Takata airbag inflator -- "pen-style", rather than "pancake-style", if you would -- actually exploding into shrapnel. Scary stuff imho.
I was an Electrician at a new Inflation Systems in Ga. One gram of the propellant in theirs was equal to the same amount of nitro gliserin. They had sniffers that detected the propellant on a micron level explotion proof drop doors and blow out pannels. And a rubberized plant floor because it was the same type of plant that in the 90s blew in Sarasota Fla. they now know there must of been alot of the propellant in the air A man hit a small staple or other metal object with a push broom caused a spark on the floor somehow They found cinder blocks 5 miles from the place. Yeah the start up of that place in Ga A pucker factor of 10 plus. The word for the day we all nervously said was Boom
Why would the device be a time bomb if taken apart? I really want to get rid of it cos im gonna install A sport wheel and dont wanna mess with the airbag each MOT
I googled "how an airbag works" and found this clip. Was impressed on the detail off rip. went to subscribe, but realized I already am! Never stop stealing your brothers toothbrush my man. 😂
Been driving my acura 2006 for ever. I just got this fixed recalled in 2020. Dude came to my house and replaced the inflator driver side and passenger side free of charge.
so, at the end after the video ends, he comes back on and says, don't do it because if it hasn't exploded, it still could after you take it out and it has not connection to power??
Are the holes actually there to allow for control of the vehicle shortly after triggering the airbag? I thought it was to vent out the air so the airbag was softer against your face.
Good video...But I want to ask about one component in this system which I have heard a lot of time and that is Clock spring. Could you tell me what it is and where it is installed?
speedkar99 it's not just Honda. My concern is national security as these devices are very dangerous in the wrong hands. Not to mention the millions in automotive bone yards. These things can very easily be turned into IED's
If i take my corolla in for air bag recall: 1. What do they change? 2. How long should the job take? 3. How can i tell if they really changed anything?
And that fix should not take long -- Mazda estimates the process to take about 1-2 hours for their vehicles, for example -- provided a non-defective replacement inflator is in stock. That's where the wait can drag on for months sometimes.
Hey, great video. Quick question for you. I need to take off the front plastic cover where the emblem sits on from my Toyota airbag. I don't need to remove the inflator itself right? I should be able to just remove the screws holding the cover to the horn springs and remove it? Any tips? I know a lot of mixed info out there regarding the inflator exploding but if it's off the car and there is no voltage then there shouldn't be a risk should there?
@@speedkar99 I really think this might be a persistent myth. Don't all these squibs require something like >1A @ 12V for a few ms? A normal functioning multimeter is never going to be outputting anywhere near that. I think manufacturers recommend against testing just to avoid any potential liability (as a general CYA and not because there is a likely risk).
You do realise the holes are to cushion the blow of impact. If the bag has already gone off, i doubt control of the vehicle is your priority lol The injury/death comment was good i give you that :P
Lol that toothbrush I love it, so funny, it makes me laugh so hard everytime I see it and it makes me feel really good. Thank you so much for using that toothbrush it's really great please don't ever get rid of it. Omg I'm gonna go to the shops right now and stock up on toothbrushs and start brushing my teeth 4 times a day and also use it to demonstrate on things like he does... So funny lol. Thank you so much.
omg lol thats that best way to make a video interesting. your right about using your brothers toothbrush throughout your videos. amazing a big applause to you
Within approx 200miliseconds there is not gas pressuried inside the cushion. Takata recall was due to pellet tabs inside the inflator, during car usege those tabs hit each other and eventually created something like dust so it can be easilly ignited and release huge force in short amount of time (should have not been damaged and keep pellet shape so it can release pressurized force during longer amount of time)
In Australia we have been told that the company Takata has gone into bankrupcy and that it may be some time before we will get any airbags replaced. I've been waiting a year for Jeep to call me back to get my airbags replaced.
Only when the airbags go off. Otherwise the vehicle drives normally. That is the second recall from Jeep for my car. I'm still waiting for them to replace the clockspring.
After having my face rebuild from taking a tree in the face bulldozing. Injuries consistence with folks eating steering wheels or windshields from not wearing a seat belt in a head on collision. I"ll risk the air bag and wear a seat belt. Thanks for the education on the bombs inside your car. I'm guessing a roll over would be less than interesting. Great video.

no one has survived death to tell us, so for now injury is worse than death lol
death you don't hurt. Injury hurts.
Taking shrapnel in the eyes and blinding you for the rest of your life is, in my opinion, worse than death.
Thought I was the only one who heard that lol...the guy did a pretty good job explaining things though

Is it safe to remove the inflader/explosive off an airbag that hasn't been exploded
Nice video!
Was kind of hoping to see a demo of an airbag going off... mayve next time!
+Sulihack Thanks Sulihack,
Airbag videos are everywhere. But they throw them out when they're done and don't take it apart to explain what's inside!
Airbag idea is awesome.
This guy is very funny when it comes to contemplation of life's complexity...
Funny how so?
This inflator can be used only once ? I mean once an airbag has been inflated and for next time should we replace the inflator ???
Yes one time use. That's why it's so expensive to repair.
Been driving my acura 2006 for ever. I just got this fixed recalled in 2020. Dude came to my house and replaced the inflator driver side and passenger side free of charge.

Are the holes actually there to allow for control of the vehicle shortly after triggering the airbag?
I thought it was to vent out the air so the airbag was softer against your face.
+Durcaz It does both, vent it and deflate it. If the airbag remained inflated you wouldn't be able to exit the vehicle....it's huge.
I still want to see the inside of the inflator but don’t want to take one apart myself maybe you could do it
+Steve Leahy haha I was scared to grind open this one even though it was already blown
Where I can buy gas generator inflator?
I thought you would go into how the airbag would fail and hence the recall. Where exactly is the shrapnel coming from?
+Akiva Feinstein the inflator itself.
"Can cause death and even worse, injury" ......wow!

I always like how Vice Grips can replace many special tools. 😂😂👍
if we close vent holes and let the gas in the bag , will it remain blown ?? nearly if i want to use the system as a landing system
+mousab almatarneh My feeling is the bag will rip
That’s very cool. Love it! Ps never touch one in person.
Scared?
do airbags only trigger from an electrical charge or are there other triggers such as heat or pressure?
So, what is happening with all of the returned inflators? Could have lots of fun with them.
+Anthony Lee I'm sure Honda is detonating them before disposing. Remember though they aren't replacing the bag, just the inflator.
speedkar99 it's not just Honda.
My concern is national security as these devices are very dangerous in the wrong hands. Not to mention the millions in automotive bone yards. These things can very easily be turned into IED's
If i take my corolla in for air bag recall:
1. What do they change?
2. How long should the job take?
3. How can i tell if they really changed anything?
+sean craig they change the inflator behind the cover. You can only tell by removing the airbag and checking the serial.
And that fix should not take long -- Mazda estimates the process to take about 1-2 hours for their vehicles, for example -- provided a non-defective replacement inflator is in stock. That's where the wait can drag on for months sometimes.

airbags look so soft and squishy until you get into an accident and it feels like someone punched you square in the nose
What about the excessive force itself, regardless of the metal pieces? The excessive force alone after time in humid, warm weather?

Within approx 200miliseconds there is not gas pressuried inside the cushion. Takata recall was due to pellet tabs inside the inflator, during car usege those tabs hit each other and eventually created something like dust so it can be easilly ignited and release huge force in short amount of time (should have not been damaged and keep pellet shape so it can release pressurized force during longer amount of time)
