Texas Geron NavatteAfter a small fire broke out in his jeep, he posted a cleaning video on Tiktok and warned drivers who had water bottles in the car.
Gero did not share details, such as plastic or glass, how long it was exposed to sunlight, and how much it was exactly how hot, but the results were shocking.
“If the sun shines exactly the point in the front seats, it acts like a magnifying glass,” crab wrote in the subtitles in the video, which has already recorded more than 500,000 views.
It can be hard to believe, but it’s actually possible. When the sun is reflected in the water bottle, the material acts like a magnifying glass, which focuses the sunlight on a specific point, which leads to a small flame and can spread quickly.
In addition, the inner liquid is expanded by heat, causing pressure, and if the pressure is too high, the disease may burst.
In addition, plastic bottles can be disassembled by heat and can release chemicals into the water, there is also a risk of chemical pollution.
What is the lesson of this story? If you endure external temperature changes such as thermos, and it’s not durable, it’s a good idea not to have a bottle of water in your car.
“Thank you for informing me. I need to clean the car today.” Another person warned, “My car is so dark that this won’t happen.”
