Engineers Develop Self-Ejecting Car Battery for Emergency Situations
A new car battery system has been designed to launch itself during a fire, aiming to prevent further damage and risks.
The system is intended to eject the battery away from the vehicle in case of thermal runaway, also known as spontaneous combustion.
- The battery ejection system has been demonstrated in a clip from a Chinese automotive safety symposium.
- The footage shows an SUV firing a battery module from one of two bays underneath the vehicle.
The video raises the question: Is this a good idea?
The purpose of this technology is to eject the battery from the vehicle in the event of a fire, but the effectiveness of this approach is still to be determined.
