Airbag vs iPhone - How much force does an airbag have?

2016-11-23
so four years ago my Jeep broke down and it was going to cost one thousand dollars to fix so looked on YouTube and found a video that showed how to fix my Jeep for $80.00 instead of a thousand the guy who made that video four years ago is right here Brian what are we doing today today we're going to sign the cell phone in a turkey the size of a human head airborne using the airbag out of a Mazda and a Honda alright let's get started all right Brian's were blown up airbags how does this work so the airbag is really simple it's an explosive charge it explodes into a bag and just rips through the front cover you have two wires that you're dealing with you see I've got some special terminals for probing or testing but you have a red wire and a white wire a positive and a ground and basically there's an igniter behind this that will set off a charge so I'm going to take my orange wire put it in with the red and then the black wire into the white and then we're gonna set the cell phone on it and then I've got some speaker cable to keep us a safe distance from the trucks I don't want to lose my truck doing this I do want to entertain some folks maybe we'll lose a phone and a turkey that's acceptable so this is the cell phone that we're going to use this is an iPhone 6 it's actually locked and the screen is crack so it's not worth very much we're going to plant it on top of the air bag alright so Brian we got the air bag right here and it looks like this is just what's coming out from inside of the steering wheel you know the steering wheel goes around the airbag so how does the air bag work in the car it's a lot more complicated you have the air bag computer you have sensors and there's a lot of if this then this kind of type of programming on the computer so that your air bag doesn't deploy and cost your insurance company a bunch of money if you're going five miles an hour in the parking lot or something like that air bag like this new from the Honda would probably be like 500 bucks or something like that and get them from the wrecking yard for about a hundred bucks 50 bucks you know so there's there's a lot of options where you can repair the car so how many sensors are there on a car usually like inside of the bumper on the sides most cars will have sensors in the front bumper at least one if not two like a Chevy pickup truck or something we'll have a couple up front if it's in the late 90s but it just depends on the car German cars they'll have sensors all over the place and airbags all over the place my truck that you see over there it's got airbags in the side curtains in the front you know both sides and it's got all kinds of sensors and wiring like explosive charges onboard to that if you count in airbags there's at least six of them I believe so all right a lot of explosives on board that you don't really think about let's see how far this baby flies and we have these wires right here leading up inside of the truck and Spencer what's going on right here so it's not live right now but we have it hooked up to the battery and once I touch this wire right here just like that it'll shoot off the airbag three two one oh boy hi how high do you think that gob Ryan I'd see 30 feet 30 P I was expecting more so the air bags started off right here next to the sandbag and it jumped actually all the way over here so this is what an air bag looks like after its deployed it looks like we've got some smoke coming out of it nice some of that will be talcum powder was the talc powder for inside of it if you want something to deploy smoothly and not snag on itself you do the talc powder if you want a book page to open a certain page you can talk powder the pages anytime you open the book it'll just automatically is it you know there's not the friction there with the powder looks like the center of the steering wheel just opened up right along that crease it just blew out that Center seam his bag feels like nylon feels kind of like a canvas tarp so the air bags here and the phone it's about 30 feet in this direction oh no got some more damage to the screen good thing I know a guy who can fix phone screens so we lost a lot of energy during the last explosion because the airbag actually hopped up off the ground so we're going to take some wire this time around and strap the airbag to the sandbag so that it won't lose as much energy and all of the energy will be transferred to the phone launching it up into the air the phone is still working I mean it was a little bit broken before oh look dude the phone is bent like it's bent from the compression yeah oh back I kinda thought that happened iPhone 6 pin gate from an airbag okay three three two one and it hit ah that was in the air for a while secured it makes a difference it's a whole F equals M or force equals mass times acceleration F equals MA tied well look this this airbags a different color that's kind of fun so it looks like even though we attached wires to the airbag egg still exploded and separated itself from the sandbags we lost a little bit of the power but we had what three and a half seconds to hang time on that one this is a significant difference so that's incredible I think about that much power hitting you in the face during a wreck so I hear to you know four thousand pound car yeah I guess it's better than your face hitting the dashboard but you know it's like it's a it's not a marshmallow either though airbags have to hurt a lot of force there there is venting so that when your face hits it it actually cush is it and it the travel after impact makes a big difference that's why they do the life-saving job that they do where we started from way over there landed right here looks like there's a few more cracks on the screen that we have a little impact crater here even looks like yeah the ribbon just ripped right off of that you can see where it hit the corner here wonder if it still works we've got some green lines on the screen looks like the LCDs cracked this time around which you know a little bit to be expected either way a new replacement screen this phone will be as good as new that's not too bad when you consider that it was impacted to get it up into the air pretty hard that's where the bending came from and then hitting the ground too that's respectable yeah the inertia is lifting over here back so big thanks to Brian without him my youtube channel wouldn't exist when I messaged him about my Jeep breaking down four years ago and asked him why in the world he makes YouTube videos he said it was to decrease worldsuck and because you can make a little bit of money on YouTube so I started doing the same thing with cell phones and that's how my channel came to be we have a turkey and what are we doing with this turkey this isn't just any turkey this is a Butterball turkey that the same size and weight is a human head oh boy airbags come in contact with people's heads all the time that's what they're supposed to do but what if your head was right against the airbag when it went off what kind of forces are we dealing with so we've got a 1996 was the millennia side side-impact airbag that we're going to launch this turkey with so if you want to see what happens to this turkey using an even bigger airbag than what we were using on this cellphone click this video right here and show Brian some love on his channel thanks for watching I'll see you around
