everyone knows that airbags can protect drivers, but do you know how harmful it is when the airbag pops out? The reason why children under the age of 14 are not allowed to take the passenger seat is because of airbags; there are also reports of airbag explosions in newspapers that cause damage, including , tinnitus , eyes, and nose bridge bones.
Let’s talk about how powerful the airbag is. Drivers should focus on safety when driving. Don’t rely on the airbags in the car, you are not afraid of fear.
Airbag
Let's first look at some knowledge of airbags. The airbag was invented in 1953 and was inspired by the life-saving air cushion of the fire brigade. The designer who was injured in a traffic accident believes that this thing may be used in cars, and the airbag was invented in this way. Its structure is very simple and consists of airbag sensors, airbag computers, and airbag bags.
working principle of airbag
principle is that the impact force is first felt by the airbag sensor, which is mainly placed near the anti-collision beam of the car. If the force is sensed by the sensor, the airbag computer will be activated to make the airbag eject. The airbag generates a large amount of gas in an instant to form a buffer, thereby protecting the personnel in the car.
Airbag
Although Dayang has written a lot, the airbag reaction time is actually very short, it is just a matter of a moment. When an accident occurred, the airbag could pop out in 0.03 seconds, and the speed was basically 300 kilometers per hour. Everyone can drive at 120 yards on the highway. The airbag can be three times faster than the speed of the car. It can imagine its power. It can blast a 180-pound fat man and bounce a 2-pound bowling ball to a height of 75 meters.
Airbag test
So gentlemen, you must fasten your seat belt when driving, otherwise the airbag will not only not protect you, but may also bounce you to the rear seat, causing secondary damage.
The reason why we don’t allow decorative items to be placed on the center console is because of this. Some people like to put a little princess, put level Erye , put perfume, and put airplane models. These are all unsatisfactory. If the airbag pops up, the ornaments will splash everywhere, which is similar to the small grenade .
airbag power
space is so closed and powerful, I'm worried when I think about it. Drivers, if there are similar ornaments in your car, take them out as soon as possible, it is not safe.
At this point, we have to mention Takata airbag again. Japanese name is たかた, and the Roman word is TAKATA. Its corners or design defects have claimed at least 28 lives.
Takata airbag
The name may be relatively unfamiliar, but the cars around you must use this kind of airbag. It is one of the three major airbag suppliers in the world. Almost all Japanese-style products use Takata airbags from 2005 to 2019. In addition, Ford, General Motors, Tesla , Chrysler , BMW , Porsche , Jaguar , Land Rover also has many models using this airbag.
Takata airbag
Takata airbag defect is that ammonium nitrate is used as the propellant of the airbag. The characteristics of ammonium nitrate are easy to absorb moisture and clump, and are easily coagulated with parts in the car when exposed to the space for a long time. When the airbag ejects, parts fragments will be ejected together, which can easily be cut into the arteries of the people in the car, so Takata airbag injury incidents occur frequently.
Generally speaking, companies will use guanidine nitrate as propellant when producing airbags because guanidine nitrate is relatively stable; but because guanidine nitrate is relatively high, Takata found a replacement, which is ammonium nitrate, which is much cheaper than guanidine nitrate and the effect is not much worse. Takata's airbag cut corners and replaced guanidine nitrate with ammonium nitrate, and the tragedy was staged.
Takata airbag is therefore also called the "death airbag".
Takata airbag
According to statistics, there are more than 100 million Takata airbags recalled worldwide, and about 18 million cars recalled in China.However, Takata airbag filed for bankruptcy in 2017 and was acquired by others, so the resulting expenses can only be borne by various car companies. Do you know why Takata's airbag recall speed is very slow?
Because car companies don’t want to take on this matter, because the responsibility is from Takata airbags. To put it bluntly, they are also victims, but they can only bear everything.
airbag should have been the last line of defense for the safety of the personnel in the car, but under the magical operation of the Takata airbag, it has now become a weapon of injury, which is really a great irony. What do you think about this?
