Isn't white smoke like that a sign of a very hot fire with good combustion?
 

Fire Out On Fremantle Highway

The fire on board the car carrier Fremantle Highway has diminished to the point that there is no indication that it is still burning as the ship remains at its...

They must have contained that fire Quickly... 500 EV's could easily heavily damage a ship. Having almost every crew member get treated for injuries is telling. I'd imagine they had some intense fire fighting to do.
 
Isn't this the second time this has happened in the past year or so?

How many fires like this have their been on car haulers with only ICE vehicles on board?

Yabbutt...Sal has found a new revenue stream (his video feed), and he's going to protect it...by worshipping the Current Thing, as Eww Toob expects and demands.

So we're not going to learn what Sal really thinks of EVs. Only what Eww Toob demands people be told.
 
New video showing that some cars are still on fire. They are bringing cars out and immediately submerging them in water, with smoke visible.
There's no way no how that ICE vehicles would still be on fire after more than a Month, and they certainly do not require being submerged to put them out. This had to have been caused by the EV's.



 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Imagine the above (multiple burning EV's) in the Lincoln Tunnel in New York. <--The impact: Death, the entire city of NY paralyzed, destruction of the Tunnel itself, poisonous/chemically reactive smoke continually replaced...
 


That snarling autistic girl would be very happy.
 
Atlas Shrugged!

Life imitates art...not exactly, but in rhymes...
 
The interesting thing is the SILENCE.

In a rational world, the shipping companies, ship owners, Lloyd's of London...would have stepped in. We won't carry those things. We will not insure such shipment.

They're so afraid of...of what? Of Davos Man, with his fantasy Grate Reset? Of International Oligarchy, ready to swat shipping companies and ship owners who Do Not Comply?

Well, this LACK of a feedback loop is going to bite, and HARD. Some demented idiot has a Grate Idea. His subalterns and lieutenants, salted into corporate and government bureaucracies, have their marching orders. Never mind their titles and net worths - they're automatons.

And the People must comply...must accept.

This is the result. A Bad Idea where no one dares challenge it.
 
Crazy! Putting an electric car in water will make it so it doesn't work any more...!
 
The idea is to immerse it in a fluid that cuts off oxygen and has high specific heat.

Water. For whatever chemical reason, mixing water with a charged Li-I battery, causes an explosion or fireball.

But cutting the oxygen OFF, while immersing it in a coating that removes heat, will stop it.

The immersion or high-volume cooling spray, is what's required. I suppose a sealed box filled with nitrogen would stop the fire, but how do you put a burning car in such a box?
 
LiFePO4 batteries are fairly safe. LiFePO4 batteries use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material (the negative side) and a graphite carbon electrode as the anode (the positive side).

Unlike other lithium ion batteries, LiFePO4 batteries don't have nickel or cobalt in them.

They are less energy dense, so you don’t see them used in most Ev car batteries. But they’re great for energy storage systems, like in homes.

Some EV car manufactures have started using LiFePO4 batteries.
 

Newark ship blaze blamed on Ports America-owned loading vehicle

Shipowner Grimaldi says a Jeep Wrangler used to push non-operating automobiles onto the vessel sparked the deadly fire.

You also lose some potential energy and they are Heavier.

That’s what I wrote: “They are less energy dense,”

They are heavier/bulkier for the same capacity.

Sort of, yes energy density does describe it accurately. But, its not only heavier you lose Open Circuit Voltage. It's a bit of a double whammy, but obviously safer.
 
That serves them well for ESS.

And possibly start Big fires. Lol, I guess they've never tried putting Li in water.

Going back to this...and for the first time, a few days ago, I noticed those Energizer Lithium batteries are getting commonplace.

I think it's GRATE! These are factory-manufactured incendiary devices, for the coming Hard Reset...that, being where Kaiser Klaus' Grate Reset meets hardheads who have resisted the Mind Control agenda the media mavens have forced upon us.
 


The nice thing about when these batteries catch fire is that the smoke created by the burning batteries poses absolutely no risk to the environment. Made with pixie dust and unicorn farts, what would have been toxic gasses becomes harmless and actually benefits any marine or plant life around it.
