    (ES.)
    Alguien escucho algo parecido a un pedo dentro del avion mientras este estaba cargando sus baterias de LiPo, un poco de humo salio del cowl, asi que, lo sacamos afuera, entonces.... BOOOOOOM!!! FUEGO!!, EXPLOSIONES!!, MAS FUEGO!!, DOLOR DE BILLETERA y mas...
    Battery charger: iMax B6

      My cellphone has a lithium ion battery in it, which I think is similar. It's an unremovable battery, permanently sealed in the phone. No possibility to take it out to charge. It has to be charged in the phone, via a USB charging cable. Is this a fire hazard for my phone, the same way it was for this model airplane?

    This video taught me something. 1. when you smell smoke make sure to put your face as close to the danger as possible. 2. This country must have great free health care where a model airplane is more expensive to repair than facial reconstructive surgery. 3. Fire extinguisher!? We don't need no stinking fire extinguishers at our flying field... we're real men. We can just blow out the fire.

    @PropaneTreeFiddy Před 9 lety +4

    Lucky for these guys, LiPo's have become much safer in the years. What they experienced was venting, a last-resort safety measure that prevents an explosion by letting the reaction put a hole in the battery and release gasses/smoke.

  • @teamscreem
    @teamscreem Před 10 lety +1

    Sorry about your aircraft ,i can imagine how you felt watching this happen.I hope it wasn t too much trouble to fix ..at least you had time to take it outside...recently a whole Rc shop in the US burnt to the ground for what may have been faulty lipo battery explosion just like this one but no one was there to witness it so the whole thing ended up in a complete disaster .. got to be careful with those little thing ..can t get high without them....hope that luck is back on your side!

    • @chimichangascroll
      @chimichangascroll  Před 6 lety

      Mo Puccino don't worry about, the plane was fixed few days after without problems, the failure of the Lipo there was caused because the owner taped the batteries to the muffler of the motor (yes it's a gas plane). It's sad to hear about the shop you were talking about, everyone should have storage bags, or every seller should include it on the price of the batteries

    The problem is its not catching fire its reacting that means almost nothing can stop it until the reaction is done or you are able to create a vacuum around.

      Would argon arc-welding gas be enough to isolate it from the oxygen in the air, to put out the fire?

    Put salt water on lithium fires kills them instantly..

    LOL look at these guys, running and panicking because a toy plane caught fire! I would hate to see how they react in a real emergency.

      You know how much one of these models would cost? It isn't no "toy plane" either bud..

      My bad - I guess the toy pilot was trapped as well! Emergency Emergency!

      That "toyplane" may cost more than a car :-)

    I'm not much of a flight guy, but I run Lipos in my RC cars and I can tell you that once they start burning, there's really not a whole lot you can do to stop them. Just gotta kinda let them go. That's why you always charge them in a lipo sack, just in case this kinda thing happens.

    you'd think for an airfield that flies electric planes, they'd know to have a bucket of sand in case of such a thing... fire extinguishers can't actually 'put out' a LiPo if its on fire/smoking... most actually make it worse... only thing that really works is literally pouring sand over it.

      Hikari batteries must be UN-Plugged to stop the juice,,, or ,, have a melt down

    • @HDFoxra
      @HDFoxra Před 9 lety +1

      Batteries have to be un-plugged to stop the juice from going to 'other devices'. The fire from a LiPo battery, comes from the battery itself. Simply un-plugging it wouldn't do anything. You use sand for a LiPo fire because water actually acts as an accelerator, and makes the fire worse. Same for the 'fine particles' in the other types of fire extinguishers because of the chemical reaction created by both types of extinguishers and the battery... Sand works, because its tiny particles are made out of rock, which can't 'ignite', and its not a 'powder' like whats used in a fire extinguisher. So, it fully cuts the battery off from the air, and thus stops the fire. it even gets down into the cracks created by the expansion of the battery, and prevents further contact between the plates which are shorting out, thus stopping the 'short'.
      So, if you play around with LiPo batteries, its always good to have a container or bucket of sand around... and its why alot of 'professional fliers' always say the same exact thing: have a bucket of sand handy.
