Thanks. I lost it half way. Not my intention to ramble about drivers especially after a lethal collision... It's just mind boggling to me that people go out and treat these cars as if they were regular vehicles without an engine noise without once thinking about how fuckin dangerous the accumulated power is.

my man if you think theres a lot of power in those batteries wait till you see how many mj are in a tank of Shell gasoline

still, tesla lol

true, lots of energy in a tank of gasoline. at least that won’t act like the vehicular equivalent of a joke birthday cake candle though.

roughly 41 Megajoules per Kilogramm (about 11kwh/kg)

A gasoline fire is a completely different matter than a battery detonation.

1. Gasoline is not a sole Energy Carrier. It can not explode only oxydize, which needs airborne oxygen since cars dont run LOX. A Battery contains the entire energy in accumulated form and the only thing keeping it contained is the isolation of the Kathode and Anode.

2. The Energy created when burning hydrocarbons is mostly contained within the Bonds of the oxygen. Saturated HC chains (gas, diesel, Kerosene) do not contain much energy. You only got non Polar C-C links and some weak Hydrogen Links to harvest energy from. The majority of the released energy is stored in the O=O bond of the oxygen. Again the Energy of a Battery is entirely contained within the Battery itself. and that does not eve ncount the Exothermal Energy of the electrolyte or other materials

3. Gas fires in Air can not exceed certain temperatures. Due to the limitations of stochiometric combustion, you can only heat a certain amount of air with a certain amount of Reaction Energy. The only way to circumvent that is compression or oxygen enrichment. both do not happen within an uncontrolled vehicle fire. A Battery fire on the other hand is just limited in temperature by the thermal mass of the batteries and the dissipation rate of the generated heat. for high energy density batteries this means that you basically can not contain the energy within a reasonably sized safety vessel without sacrificing significant vehicle mass or space for just the worst case battery safety (which is not done in automotive applications)

4. Battery detonations do not obey the laws of the fire triange that also gives the main points of fire extinguishment. For EVs, fire extinguishing is essentially pointless unless you dump the whole car into water or burry it.

no, i meant the part where you’re glad they died to advance a petty grievance, that’s the part they’d object to, and i further don’t think they’d be too keen on your usual deliberate obtuseness as an excuse either

all I've ever said is that it's not "ghoulish" to believe these people who burned to death did not want to burn to death. maybe it says something about you that you read "they didn't want to die" as "it's good that they died"

every source I can find, including the official City of Flint press release, mentions only the UV filtration and notes that it will "disinfect lead and bacteria"

no mention of osmosis, and it doesn't seem to be a standard feature of UV filtration

i'm guessing uv filtration is cheaper and effectiveness was never a factor in the decision
