    For the bird repellent test, Bizi used both owls (natural predators) and a blue hood (which got zero poops in the hoods only test), but he didn't know that at the time. If they all had the same color hood, it might have been a closer competition.

    For the repellants, they should have used same color hoods.
    But I believe birds do not choose which color hoods, it’s just random.

      @@danubiosalas4231 Impressive given the build quality, but one would need to water insulate it like RC car. Just pin prick hole in one of the seals and its dead. Sure similar can happen to fuel car but it depends how you drive. Slower speed and running trough with torque with out much plashing water into intake is kinda make it or brake it. If its modified with snorkel, then its not that much of a issue, well as again built quality and design. Old mechanical diesel does not give damn long as it gets fuel and there isint water in the cylinders.

    If you are forced into water battery or gas it is recommended that you always continued slowly accelerating. Because while You are slowly accelerating your pushing air out of the tailpipe you stop it Accelerate it will start sucking water into the vehicle and cause a Vacuum lock, Very slow acceleration but positive presser You just want to have the air being pushed out to prevent the water Coming in most people overdo this and then they take their foot off the gas and slow down. At this point the engine will vapor lock and it will suck air into the battery from the cooling. Unless it will be how high the cooling air for the battery as long as it doesn't sink to that point the battery could have no issue That's another reason for slow acceleration push the water a way from the Vehicle.

    EZ Rider 2 would have done better if the front didn't sink as much, having both the bottom and top of those wheels underwater negated the whole point of them, the scoops going forwards at the top of the wheels were counteracting the scoops going backward at the bottom.

    Well If looking at how long it take for a fire department to put out a battery fire, would think you still have enough battery to roll down the windows to escape the car.

  • @kevinsteyn7034
    @kevinsteyn7034 Місяць тому +4

    hmmm, so they put in a new battery to check if the battery voltage drains due to water in the system, and shockingly it does. wonder if its cause the headlights are ON!!!!!! Headlights USE POWER.

    • @derGameplayDJ
      @derGameplayDJ Місяць тому +2

      Of course the lights need power, but in a perfectly intact vehicle, the drain would happen MUCH slower.

    • @davidjohnston1971
      @davidjohnston1971 Місяць тому +1

      Yes! Years of first hand experience working with birds from raptors, parrots, song birds and barnyard birds proved it. Some birds were trained to poop on command as part of their training.

    I'm glad that they didn't pull the cord, that would have made that the battery connector got exposed to the water and a lot of hydrogen or brown gas would be released.

    you missed the point it can be done, open the windows make the inside waterproof to the components so it will sink and u drive on the Bottom of the water the problem was if u made Paddles on the tires ya it would of done just fine... ur relying on traction from the wheels so let it sink, just water proof inside and the outside roll windows down sink and ur good
