RE: The Bag of Air That Protects Us During A Collision in Automobile
The safety of the passengers is one which automotive engineers take as paramount. Various safety devices have been incorporated into the automobile like the airbag which you have discussed.
Permit me to add that the immediate partial deflation of the airbag is also important as this is important for the safety of the driver. A cushion effect is needed otherwise, it will be like hitting the head on a rock. To provide this, the airbag must be partially deflated by venting some of the Nitrogen.
By doing so the bag becomes softer and provides some cushion.
I salute your writing sir. Happy sunday.
Yeah, if not partially deflated it may crush or choke the person it was suppose to protect.
That's good engineering - every situation has been considered.
Just like those three reactions. When one leads to a harmful product, a means have been devised to neutralize it until it is safe.
A good engineering practice or invention is one that has some safety incorporated in it.
I couldn't agree more.
