Engineers Built a Car Battery That Launches Itself During a Fire
The system is designed to eject the battery away from the vehicle following any signs of thermal runaway, or spontaneous combustion.
A recent clip from a Chinese automotive safety symposium has been circulating online, demonstrating a battery ejection system.
- The footage shows an SUV firing a battery module from one of two bays located underneath the vehicle.
The video raises the question: Is this a good idea? The answer is likely still to come, but the tech is designed to eject the battery in the event of a fire.
The footage is unreal.
