Sure Glad - Honda has the STOP Fan Set Up , more and More Vehicles have Filters system Volvo & VW had for 20 Years !

I'm Not Sure how many Models or Vehicles One is able to Turn Off Air Entering ?

Now to just Plug Up some of Those Holes . . . We Lost 4-5 in Huge Fire in TN do to Vehicles Issues - Over Come By Smoke and Heat coming Through the Side Vehicle & Glass ..
A Few Actually Walked & Ran Out . . , one even lost some of His Hair & Eye Lashes ..with Burns . .
Sure Seems Testing is in Order , even for Water Lost do to the Environmental Impact alone ..

I Meant to Say 30 Yrs. for Volvo and BMW from 1993 says this Article . . Now's the Time to Step this Standard Up - as - Cabin Air is Killing many in Fires as they try to Escape . . to much Smoke getting in . .
100% of all Vehicles should have Cabin Filtration at Very Least . Now Today's Environment Calls for Higher Std. ~ Certainly ~

Sure is a lot of Testing for all other Aspects : https://www.horiba-mira.com/our-services/vehicle-snow-rain-testing

Took some Time to Read Through most of the Std's for Fire Testing , Test Box , Fire Spread , Materials to Test , and Other Items that Apply . .
A Few Links : http://www.tech-quality.com/images/pdf/FTT/fmv.pdf

I did Find a Disturbing Trend , Concern for Fire Spread had Only Applied to Structures & Tunnels . There is also
an Issue within 3 Area's - which Pertain to 1 or Two Areas being Over Looked . . Not Taken into Account !

How Long do You Think You Have ? : What's Time Line on Racing Wild Fire - Very Short . .

Now Tesla doesn't look that crazy anymore when they say their cars come with a "biohazard" defense system. But the best defense is to be somewhere of low to almost no risk exposure. Its like the classic martial arts advice, or investing, you name it. RIP to all who have lost their lives, very unfortunate time.

Yes, So True
It seems though that Word , Alerts , Alarms & Public Broad Cast on Radio - just doesn't get the Word Out to everyone .
Further They are Working so Busy that they don't take the Proper Amount of Thought or Time to Process the Importance and How Dire the Situation is .

When I see 100's of Vehicles Trying to Flee , something is Really Wrong .. in TN the Officials Waited Beyond the Proper Time to Evacuate . .
High Wind Conditions Moved Fire so Fast that Fire Bombs were Dropping 1/2 Mile Away from the Fire ( Starting New Fire )

All the Proper Studies are Over Looking - Air Intake - System - Technically it is within 13mm and Attached to the Cabin Directly .. Furthermore the Flying Amber's Traveling
20 Mph to 80 Mph at Least are Pounding the Air Shroud ( Which is Plastic ) and the Grid isn't Small enough - which will Lead to Lighting Up the Carbon Filter - Leading too Massive Smoke !
Driving Owners to Flee the Vehicle ~ The One Thing ~ They Should NOT DO !

Any Good Lawyer is Going to Rip the Auto Designers a New Arsh - Hence the Manufacture . . They need to Tighten Up that Area ! ( Protect It More )

Dude do you always have conversations with yourself?

 

[EngTech1]

Well You don't read everyones Post , do You ~

As Stated I'm here to Further the Design Mostly - Not Just Honda's Either ..

I also Follow Up with Information Pertaining to My Post , Not like a lot that Post an Issue and Never to be heard from ever again , or No Resolution . .
Is this the Best Criticism You have ?

Thank You . .

 

[BuickNut]

So just looking at the stats. It seems of all the people that looked here, no one seems to care nor comment on what you are talking about. j/s

Well after 20 Yrs. I have Proof Not Only does One Person make a Difference , and Sounds Like I have Covered all the Bases Quite Well . .
Seems this Site doesn't have many Engineers on it .. , haven't Noticed much in Fabrication either , Vendors aren't doing so well - Yet there seems to be
Very Good Efforts being made by Vendors . . ?

20 Plus , Years ( Tells way more and way Different . . Out Comes ) It takes Time .
Stats aren't Much for this Entire Site . . , but being a Catalyst to something Larger - always Starts small ..

Go Yap on Face Book , Tell Stories about the Bad Dog , or the Little Cat that stood up to the Bad Dog - If You want Stats . .

Now to a 21 year Old discussion about How Fast Cars Sink in Water - came - changes to the Drain Tubes for Sunroofs . .
