Part 3/10:
The controlled burn setup consisted of an array of technical equipment designed to assess multiple factors related to combustion and heat exposure. The car was placed inside a catch pan, enabling researchers to monitor mass and capture runoff water throughout the experiment. This apparatus aimed to provide insight into potential environmental hazards connected to firefighting efforts for electric vehicles.
With strategic placements of thermal sensors and carcinogenic exposure monitors around the vehicle, the experiment aimed to measure heat exposure, identify harmful particulates that could threaten firefighters, and evaluate the efficiency of firefighting methods.
