turning an e30 into an e32 is an amazing restoration job indeed
😂😂😂 exactly
I was thinking the same thing dude Those beamers are diverent models lol
I knew the first was an e30 but couldn't remember the e number for the second but yeah, lets restore a 3 series and make it a 5 series, how dumb do they think people are? 🤣
@@graemew7001honestly, a lot of people are dumb, or they don't care. So I bet that video has a lot of views
Lmao I know nothing about BMW cars. Big Mexican Women I know everything about. Thanks for pointing out
Sandro: This is bullshit. Angela: Here's why this is bullshit. And that's why we love this combo.
And then they have Tony as an off-screen heavy artillery if you really need the Science Side of Donut to call out the bulshit
@@TheWinjin it's a good combo
They are so awesome together!!
Yeah a dude that has been on prison some random chick with a ring in your nose. The bar is so low
@@KainsAddiction uhh
These two are gradually becoming the new Mythbusters and im TOTALLY here for it.
Mechanic mythbusters!
Ever watch kyle hill? He does some such
Sandro referencing Ghost EMP destroying protoss outta nowhere is wild. This guy is a mystery wrapped in an enigma.
I was not ready for the reference!
Was looking for this comment!
2:41 Ah yes, "negative electrons"...otherwise known as just electrons.
... wouldn't that be positrons?
@@Kay_Sea251 Electrons have a negative charge, positrons have a positive charge. As such, I'm fairly certain that "negative" electrons would just be regular electrons. Well, unless you really, really like anti-matter/matter explosions.
@@Razmoudah 10/10 would simulate in a particle accelerator again
I love their solution being "we're gonna pump 'negative current' through the car" like that would help. current is directional. all you're doing is electrifying the body, providing energy to the system, and making rust develop faster
they not negative they just depressed bro :D
Sandro + Angelina = AWESOME
And now with demo's you can see how awesome this dynamic duo is!!!
Sandro and everyone else makes atleast one face or nod of "damn right" each episode when she talks, hahaha. Like she explaining shit and they just sit there with a "Preach girl"-look on their face, hahaha.. love this
The meet of the titans
Watching their videos, you come for Sandro's major city hood-garage hacks, and you stay for Angelina's by-the-book knowledge. The chemistry for these two is like fuel and spark. The more I watch, the more comfortable they get doing these. Really enjoyable, and realistic series.

1) You know you're a mechanic when you're most excited about tools over any other product. 2) The wrenches are very useful for hard lines, to get them off you can simply just have the wrench move off the fitting, while it's over the line you'd be able to spin the ratcheting end by hand afterwards.
Yessss. But I just like to try and repair stuff
Should have a clutch so it is a vastly more useful tool. And how lazy are car mechanics getting these days anyway? Would never have used one of these as a line wrench when working in commercial aviation. It is just a good way to put scratches in your hydraulic line that is under 3000psi of pressure and lead to a failure.
@@Lurch-Bot I think the tool is more efficient rather than “easy”. Also you shouldn’t be using any 12pts on AN fittings. But just in case you do come across some scratches , please use REF AMM 29-00-00 when servicing Hydraulics.
The EMP protector would use MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and spark gaps just like the ones we put on home electrical panels to protect homes from lightning strikes. The reason for the connection to the chassis is because high voltages travel on the surface of conductors and not through the conductors so it will travel on the surfaces of the vehicle. Whether it would protect against an actual EMP is questionable because there is no place for it to go to earth ground unless the tires are wet. Though the pulse is microseconds, it has no place to go to get away from the electronics. Notice the chains hanging from the bottom of fire engines. They provide the path for the electricity to go to the ground which would blow the main circuit breaker if a stream of water or a ladder hits a power line. The ones for homes do work because the electrical panels are connected to earth ground. Just a bit of information, "If a powerline falls on your car, DON'T get out of the car unless it is on fire. When your foot hits the ground you will be electrocuted. Stay in the vehicle until help arrives. If you have to get out, jump out without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time and then hop away with both feet together." A lesson from the electric company. I enjoy your videos.
Why hop away with both feet together?
@@bigdfitness5020current flows when there is a difference in electrical charges between two sides of the circuit. The voltage in transmission lines is high enough that a downed line will create a gradient of charge on the ground, such that the distance of a footstep is more than enough to create a massive difference across your two feet and thus push lethal current through your body. Keeping your feet together minimizes the distance between your points of contact with the ground, and thus the electrical potential between your feet
im an electrician and i left a comment after yours explaining this as well i just deleted it because yours is a better explanation. have to add that there are cheaper just as effective products for home surge protection and emp shield is one of the most expensive brands and despite their name i havent found any documentation rating them for high output emp protection just general surge protection up to "nearby" (not direct) lightning strikes
So funny enough, this is the complete opposite of heavy equipment operator training. When your machine is in contact with a live wire, you should never jump far away, and you are supposed to shuffle step away slowly. I am confused why these are 2 conflicting answers.
@@taylorsova2594 Jumping with feet together, or shuffle stepping slowly. Both keep your feet close together, and keep your points of contact close together.

Glad your dad came back man
Angelina is such a legend. Holy COW can she ever make information palatable as a teacher.
My grandfather was a firefighter and first aid trainer, and he always had a seatbelt cutter velcro-taped next to the driver's seat in all his cars. Not so much to free himself if he got stuck after an accident, but in case he arrives at an accident site and can't get an injured person out of a wrecked car because he can't get to the seatbelt buckle. Or he is injured in his own wrecked car and someone finds him and can't get at the buckle either. And with injured people in a mangled car, you really don't want to struggle with a knife on the setbelt next to their necks. Seatbelt cutters really would be a handy to tool to have within reach in such situations.
I've used a knife to cut a seatbelt after a wreck. There are techniques to ensure you don't accidentally cut yourself or the occupant. But I've also studied fencing and knife fighting technique; I might be a little more adept with a knife than your average person so those safety cutters are advisable for most people. The glass breaker is just a variation on the automatic center punch and could be problematic to use if you have a broken hand or wrist following a wreck; a common occurrence. Meanwhile, you can break a tempered glass window pretty easily with a firm stab with a sturdy pocketknife or you can place the tip against the window and smack the butt of the handle... There is a reason skydivers don't carry letter openers to cut tangled risers... More options with a switchblade. With a safety cutter, you might not be able to get the belt in that little slot if you are all shook up. The device here may work but it is too small and fumbly to use when you are literally shaking from a surge of adrenaline. Even Sandro is going to be shaky after a wreck. I know from experience. 'Chillin'' is a relative term.
Sandro with the Starcraft references lmao I love this guy even more
That shocked me so much. I literally just got done watching uThermal beat grandmasters by building only one unit for 6 hours. Sandro does everything.
Sandro is THA BOI!
E'S A GAMER
Bro I nearly died, Sandro loves the terrans
get off that man’s nuts Jesus Christ calm down
Knowing Sandro is a giant StarCraft nerd just gave me life.
Same
dude this lmao. no wonder hes so cool lol
I did not see that coming haha.
I'm so glad to have caught a Starcraft reference out in the wild lol
He's a dark Templar before the costly merge..
"Illegal on camera where we are" Huh? A test of that fire extinguisher would be pretty useful.
I'm guessing setting up a car on fire might be considered arson in California
I'm trying to figure out where they would be that setting a fire on camera would be illegal.. makes no sense.. your telling me you can't poor gas on a tire and film it or you'll be arrested?!?? Wtf?
In California only American flags can be set ablaze.
@@jessejordan310 Cali Is wild
My thoughts exactly. My guess is that the State is afraid it causes cancer in pregnant rats. Only in Cali…
Sandro's the best lmao man said he studied EMPs for 2 years just to give his answer based on Starcraft lmaoo goated.
6:11 "if it doesn't put out fumes that make you hallucinate, it don't work". I live by that statement
A can of coke works better due to phosphoric acid in it
@@jasonh4167 correct! The active ingredient in naval jelly (a rust remover) is phosphoric acid. If you are shopping for rust removers, then always check the ingredients for phosphoric acid, if it's not there it's probably not gonna work.
The product that they used in the commercial was an iron remover, that's why it turned purple. What they got in the mail was something else. I know that because not only it didn't turn purple, they also used it inside a studio without getting nauseous. I learned that the hard way myself.
@@TheRealSykx True, though oxalic acid is pretty good if you want to get rust stains off other stuff.
If it's not known to the State of Cancer to cause California, is it even really a product?
I love how Sandro is there, talking shit, and when Angelina starts explaining anything, he just gestures to her, like, "Fuckin listen!" Sandro and Angelina are awesome.
They'd be a perfect duo for a Kitchen Nightmares style car show. they travel to help finish peoples project cars. Sandro insults the work but understands it was by the boys and for the boys. Angelina will tell em why they're stupid and teach em to do better. Could be wholesome
@@XxBrMagicxX this needs to happen immediately
"If it ain't puttin out fumes that make you hallucinate, it ain't workin" Angelina...sooooooo true!
Sandro & Angelina is my favorite pairing on this channel, the combination of both of their knowledge and sense of humor is just perfect
I do like the times she says something like "Don't do this, its totally dangerous!" Then Sandro is like "You didn't grow up poor...we did this all the time!"
I agree, their chemistry in their episodes is awesome
Liking and dropping a comment as well, so the KZhead algorithm knows I want to see more of these two.
Still that beard gives me nightmares
100% I'd watch a video of them reading a Chilton's Manual.
Having Sandro's shop in the video with Angelina is sick! I love how they are getting more involved in the channel. I love the Donut guys, but Sandro and Angelina are the stars of this channel now for sure!
They are actually fun to watch. The regular Donut guys try too hard to be "entertaining" and end up only being cringe-worthy.
Personal preference. I find Angelina to be quite annoying tbh.
@@ctcdarknessbro we on the same boat, bi don't shut the fuck up, bring back that other mechanic woman cuz she knew what's up and didn't talk your ear off for 10mins about bullshit
You guys are easily top tier hosts 🤩 Your knowledge and experience shines through, you're great at explaining, you're entertaining, and your dynamic, both on your own and between you, is awesome! I love watching you!
I honestly really enjoyed this video. Getting to see a peek into Sandro's shop and just seeing them both be themselves and testing out stuff definitely makes me want to see more of this kind of content. As a car guy it's nice to see the personal side of mechanics. Enjoyed this video so much that I was willing to write a comment which I don't usually do. Great work and more please!
Sandro is such a real one. Dropping a StarCraft reference out of nowhere is the only thing that could make me love this guy more
StarCraft is an incredible study tool! Where else are you going to learn about vespene gas needed in manufacturing?
Sandro makes me want to move to California and buy a busted old car just so I can pay him to fix it all the time.
Came here to say something similar. Made me smile.

i know nothing about cars but, i love everyone on this channel, donut included, this duo is amazing. keep up the good work guys!
I was a firefighter for 25 years and an RTC instructor. As soon as I seen the rescue tool I knew you would be impressed, we all had them hanging from our gear, very cheap, works brilliantly and yes could very easily save your life or someone else. Shay
I've read that window punches sometimes have problems with newer cars, owing to the laminated glass now in use. No idea how true that is.
@annehaight9963 they defiantly will not do the windscreen on any car or the rear screen on quite a few . Tesla is the only one where there is a problem with the side windows but even then it will crack them so they can be kicked out but with some difficulties.
@@annehaight9963 Yeah, looks like it's been a slow phasing into compliance with the new ruling but laminated glass will be the norm going forward- to prevent ejection from the vehicle www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/fmvss/Ejection_mitigation_FR_Jan2011.pdf
@@annehaight9963laminated is used in your windshield. Side a rear windows are just hardened and will break perfectly.
That was a cool one. For the fishermen and campers up here in the PNW, its pretty easy to see yourself ending up in a river during an accident... this is a must have!
I loved Angelinas reaction to the car escape tool "Do you have a window? Can I break something?" 🤣🤣🤣
She could've tested it on her glasses.
This duo consisting of Sandro and Angelina is pure gold. Please keep them making more videos!
Finally gave them their own series! Thanks Donut!
Those little self-rescue doohickeys are genuinely worth having in your glove compartment.
We all have them in NZ. Buy them at the VTNZ
Probably better in your centre console because you might not be able to reach your glove compartment
@@DjDolHaus86 Best would be to have it magnet stripped and/or attached to the dashboard. With the airbags open, you might not be able to reach into your center console or open it. You don't want it to just bang around freely, but also within arms reach if you are indeed trapped in your seat.
@@ShaggyRogers1 For clarification I mean the bit between the driver and passenger seat, not the middle of the dashboard. I wouldn't trust a magnet in a big shunt, if it's strong enough to stop the tool becoming a projectile then you're going to have a really hard time releasing the tool in an emergency
i think that specific model is for keychains, which IMO is better since ypu can clip it on a carabiner and keep it on ya
I'm sure I'm not the only one perfectly happy with this becoming the Sandro and Angelina channel.
Me too
what you mean...this is there channel now... everyone else are just guests on their show.
I can imagine all the people who talk like that dude snapping up that EMP shield! I love that you stepped up these videos by actually testing some of the products. Great concept! Keep up the great work!
This is the top video this channel has put out in quality, real world Sandro's shop test is amazing.
Sandro’s setups for that simulation for the escape tools were impressive, and Angelina’s glee at the tools working was hilarious. Great episode for that segment alone.
honestly, i think they could make a whole mini-series just on these two testing products like this video and it would be awesome.
These two could definitely have a few different series together as hosts, they're great.
Sandro "I took two years studying EMPS" Angelina: - waits for the rest - Sandro "so......The game Starcraft" Me: - laughing too hard to hear the rest of what he said -
I think its awesome that you guys are actually showing if this stuff works or if its stupid. Keep doing it
This episode just kept getting better and better. Too much fun!
Electrical engineer here! Regarding the EMP clip at 14:38, well. Its complete nonsense. What an EMP is is defined pretty well by Tony, but what its also capable of, especially a nuclear level EMP blast, is capable of frying circuits without a power source as it can incur induction in the circuits (remember how generators are actually just motors whose shaft is made to spin in a magnetic field to produce electricity? Think that except a billion times stronger in terms of nuclear EM energy), overload the circuits without any power sources attached to them and effectively fry them all. In other words, that shunt mod for the battery is worthless if the circuitry themselves are still vulnerable. And the makers of the product will know this too. Complete scam.
It's such a tragedy that this amazing tool we call the internet gets used to propagate so much bad information and worthless junk.
I came and commented on this but saw you went a lot more in depth, so you get a like
Basically the only way to protect your car from an EMP is a Faraday cage. Or get an analog engine. Modern circuitry is very resistant to power surges but an amp would probably be too much. No one really knows because we aren’t just dropping a-Bombs to find out.
I came across that scam online myself. They claim it can be used to protect your house too and claim that it was featured in a DARPA or MoD paper on EMP resistance, in actuality the product is called “EMP Shield”, so likely just the words “EMP” and “shield” were used somewhere in the paper. There have been lots of scams that are absolutely ridiculous and they tend to target the current societal concerns. Here in the UK there was one to help with higher energy prices, it claimed that by plugging this device in it cleaned the power and saved up to 80 % on your electricity bill, working on the principal of power factor correction but it was just a tiny box with an LED. There was another I saw that you were supposed to pay £2,000 for plans for this generator that you could easily build with commonly available items and it would just constantly create power and you would never have to pay for electricity again. There was one about heating too. Other common ones are online courses, from everything like starting businesses, stock trading and drop shipping to how to make yourself happy, how to get women, how to become an “alpha male”, etc. the vast majority of them are just nonsense. Unfortunately these scams do work, people wouldn’t do them if they didn’t make money on it and in general people are too eager to jump on anything that in their minds could work, mainly because they don’t understand anything to do with it. People are also too eager to believe that the government, industry, etc, are keeping a secret from them and that some person selling a course has found a trick to beat the government, industry, etc.
@@rjgaynor8 *yet...
This has to be the best episode ever. Seeing these two interact and seeing that window break simulation got me my money's worth for this video. Which was my time spent. I love these people, they make me laugh and it's like hanging out in the shop
As a EMT i caarried a snap punch for breaking windows. works the same way and you can buy them for $2.75 harbor freight.
For those who don't speak science - EMP is like if you put electricals in a microwave. The problem isn't to do with grounding, it's that delicate components get doused with energy that burns them out, sometimes literally bursting into flame. The EMP (or microwaves or radio waves or whatever) doesn't care about there being a circuit, or a ground, or whatever. It's simply that the EM waves arrive at something that is about the right size and (think radio antenna) and dump some energy. It creates a LOT of amperage, more than the system is designed for, so things burn out. Oh and lots of parts of the same system will burn out, because the EMP arrives at any part of the system that is about the right size to pick it up.
Sandro pulling out the Terran macro strats really sent me. Love these two, great video.
That corrosion control module...loll! I'm a drafter, and have done about 7 years total doing cathodic protection, which is the principle they're implying they're using. It is a real thing, and it is used in various applications, such as bridges, ships, and even buried pipelines. However, there is a slight problem. To borrow a paragraph from Line-X: These devices depend on a circuit being completed. For bridges the wet soil completes the circuit. For ships the salt water completes the circuit. The air around your vehicle does not complete the circuit for your car. Unless you drive in water constantly or park your vehicle in the soil (or in salt water) you cannot complete the circuit and thus cathodic protection is worthless when it comes to protecting your vehicle. Hope that helps explain it! In short, they're trying to describe a real thing that works. Just, it doesn't work on cars.
Cathodic protection usually requires a sacrificial piece of metal that is rusting, to protect the equipment that you don’t want to rust.
@@adampowell3503 Sacrificial anode, but I don't think he was implying there isn't one or a lack of need for one.
I was about to make a less educated comment similar to this about how it works on ships since the batteries are massive and can generate a large enough charge aswell as being grounded by the water while cars with 12v systems don't have enough juice and roll on 4 rubber wheels bit I like your answer way better haha
Makes sense. And naturally, protecting your car from rusting is a very common concern, and "there's a sucker born every minute" and all that...
2:25 This method is actually commonly used on boats and underwater metal parts. It works by polarizing protected metal part against the water and passing small curents between them. The problem with this device is that you don't have that medium (water), where you'd put the other electrode. It can't work without that.
Yeah, under ground utilities also use an anode array to prevent rust. It's still bullshit cuz you'd need either multiple anodes or a ton of amps as a low frequency to get them to cover that much area. And as I understand it, the plasticized aluminum of most body panels are ass at transmissing current on purpose.
Great vid. EMPs pump voltage into every length of wire unless they are shielded by grounded metal. Components in grounded cases would probably not take direct hits but every run of wire in the car would probably have a spike and given that the grounding is only to the car chassis/body shielding would be questionable.
Best episode yet!! These two are awesome!
I love how Angelina's face lit up when she was like "Do we get to destroy stuff?!" when testing the emergency escape tool. Not what I expected but makes it so much better!
i'm going to tear up,Sandro and Angela making more videos,this is amazing my favorite mechanics,much love to them.
The little window breaker thing is a Resqme. There are a bunch of knockoffs around which may or may not work quite as well but given how cheap they are, you might as well buy a legit one if you're going to potentially trust your life to it.
I have a pocket knife that i keep in my center console. Its got a Seatbelt cutter and a window breaker on it. Those things are everywhere. Ive even seen some keychains with them.
for windows a centerpunch is all you need, much easier to use, and hold. Bet its cheaper too.
@@JoriDiculous Some cars even have one or more hidden inside them already.
@@JoriDiculousthe thing a resqme and similar spring-loaded glass breakers do is allow people who might lack the arm strength to hit a window hard to break the window easily. Not everyone can swing a tool hard, and the spring gives a significant mechanical advantage.
@@CaptainHat (auto)centre punch works the same, you just press it against the window and the spring action pops the glass more or less effortless. Benefit it is a bit bigger so easier to hold.
Former Corrosion Engineer here. The anti-rust method is based on Cathodic Protection, which DOES work; however, the technique is improperly applied via the method shown here.
Really happy to see y'all in the shop in recent vids, hope to see more! Would be awesome to have a full "repair shop" type episode arch in the shop
Loving this new concept of them using the product.
a major thing most people don't understand is that intake manifolds are designed to get equal air volume within the plenum and maintain it through all engine operation, they don't do any trick air dynamics stuff like people think. the cylinder itself is going to determine how much air it takes in on its intake stroke as it sucks the air from the intake manifold. you can boost intake pressures with a turbo/super charger so once the valve begins to open and the intake pressure being greater than cylinder pressure will result in the intake pressure actually forcing air into the cylinder, couple that with the intake stroke and you usually get a volumetric efficiency of 110% or greater. most fuel atomization is cause by heat and how fine of a mist you can generate at the fuel injector, naturally the finer mist coupled with engine heat will result in rapid if not instant total fuel evaporation and atomization upon injection. before direct injection they did port injection, this allowed a greater exposure to hot air and movement which increased atomization. today the best atomization is achieved by high pressure direct injection, jaguar and land rover love high pressure direct injection. you guys should light a BBQ and then try to put it out with that stuff.
Love the testing the stuff guys, keep it up!!!
So stoked they are pairing up Sandro and Angelina for these. They work so well together.
The producers of this show have done such an amazing job with finding the right talent.
About the electronic corrosion control system. There is such a thing as this. It's designed in to ship particularly Military ship. So it is a valid and effective system that will slow down corrosion but its not as simple box as a wired in box. And it's designed into the ship when it's built.
the second one is basically a cathodic protection system the thing is you need a sacrificial material for that to work, it very much does work its used on fuel pipelines
RMS having bits where the hosts( the two best hosts ever ) doing things and actually testing things is great! I like the new format!
Bruh finally giving Sandro and Angie some camera time to play around and test things was the greatest addition to this channel I love these two. Gotta get down to Miranda's one day I got a job for him
The fun thing is that symtech thing is based on a real thing called a sacrificial anode, which does essentially complete a circuit and leech corrosion to itself. The problem is that you’d essentially make a rust box that you would need to replace, and that sacrificial anodes are for boats because its a maritime specific problem.
these two testing stuff is gold!!
The way Angelina said “I want to break something”. Reminded me of a girl I went to high school with. Girl would get excited when we had to break something in shop.
The Navy uses a similar system to the second product to protect ships. We send a current through the hull to help prevent corrosion. The catch is there has to be a sacrificial Anode. Meaning we just cause another item to rust before the actual hull.
If I understand the technology correctly it would have to be forcing a current through the air. The circuit would go from the car body, to the air, to the sacrificial anode...and somehow not go the short way by skipping the air.
10:43 I have a similar tool in my car. It goes in the 12v outlet and has a USB charging port. It has the blade for cutting the belt. The only difference is that the punching tip is not spring loaded. But it is metal and weighty. What I like about it is that it sits in the center console and easy and intuitive to access.
This is legit the best video on this channel by now!
Once an EMP was mentioned, I immediately thought of Starcraft. I love Sandro even more now.
The Dynamic Duo is back! Keep up the good work, guys!
17:35 I am a real mechanic myself here in Germany. I used a very similar tool like this one a lot for brakelines and similar stuff. Once done tightening the line, just pull the tool of the "screw" and turn the inner part until the openings align. really handy tool
Honestly 🙌🙏🙌 🙏 *Hands Down* the best video I've seen from the channel! Liked the test it break it scenes.
4:35 is just iron remover spray. We use it all the time when detailing a car. The color change is the spray reactive to small amounts of iron (brake dust) embedded in the paint/powdercoat.
Yeah, I have one of Meguire's wheel cleaning products which has that same chemical in it. That is a legit brand. I use it to help clean the alloy wheels on my motorcycle. I wipe it on with a rag, BTW, rather than spraying it on. It's more economical that way, and also I'm wary of spraying iron-attacking stuff around the place.
Best RMS episode ever. Sandro and Angelina are a great combo that always give us laughs and we even got some shop-time. That 'interior' rig was tight as well.
I would watch an entire channel of just these two 😂 this video was great!
we need to bring back the videos Donut use to do breaking down part functions/combustion/electricity etc etc and Tony can host them! Those videos were awesome and is what got me interested in the inner workings of cars.
They do use electrical charge to keep boat hulls from rusting but I believe its more complicated than whatever this car product is
Bridges too!
Yes but they also have a sacrofical plate so those degrade instead of the hull (or bridge supports). It only works in water though, so unless you are parking your car in water it won't do anything.
Do they use something like electrolysis to deal with that kind of thing? The bridge and boat stuff is new to me.
@@SilvaDreamsnot always our vessel is equipped with a accoustic anti fouling unit and there arent any sacrificial anodes
@@null3319 Yes but that is more for alge and microorganisms (like burrowing worms) and not for rust prevention of a metal hull.
10:30 this was such a genuine moment I love these two together in videos. And a StarCraft reference?10/10
These two are my favorite guests they have on the show
i love the test aspects you guys added, SO FUN!
Sandro & Angelina are hands down my favorite. These two would make a hell of a TV show.
Love seeing Angelina and Sandro actually out and testing stuff too. I think a future season of Hi-Low needs 2 teams of 3, and to divvy them up as guests at least...
Im glad to know the seatbelt cutter works we got a bunch but i havent been able to test them.
Great video except from the misconception on the obd port, having worked a lot with canbus and k-line vehicles and interfacing with arduinos a small device can definitely reprogram when attached via obd. Never put un trustworthy devices into your diagnostic port get named brands when buying products. The canbus wires are the most important part of you car
Angelina and Sandro was the best addition ever. Love them both so much and they really do work together so well.
OOOOOHHH SHIIIT, my man Sandro is a StarCraft player!!!! Fuckin' respect 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
You guys are great!! Keep it up! Completely made my day!!
been caring my key chain cutter/breaker for a while now. glad to know it works if i need it lbs
EMP sinks do exist, but because of the nature of the damage - currents can get induced inside the circuit boards even! - their placement is very important. You can't centralize it like that. Also, they're usually sacrificial devices that explode from the high current due to catastrophic overheating.
They don’t need to be sacrificial, a lot of stuff is designed to handle transient spikes, like a good multimeter
Yep. Also its funny that the video mentions grounding it into the frame of the car when in reality in an EMP the frame is going to be dragging a lot of extra power and be the first thing causing problems
Transient Voltage Suppressors are cheap and widely available. Almost every device connected to mains will have one.
@@xFlow150 That's a related but different thing. You need that next to individual chips in order to defend against EMPs, and even then it's a one-shot solution, the second burst will take the device out.
@@tylerjohn4607 Isn't a car basically a Faraday cage anyway? Would an EMP really affect it that much?
Cool to see Sandro at his shop!
Great video. Loved the demo for the emergency tool!
Love the demonstrations and stuff in this video
16:30 As someone who actually knows a bit about this kind of thing, that box won't do shit. An EM event like an EMP / CME won't affect the 12V system since the battery is very low impedance and the computer modules are designed to handle lots of interference (like the millions of mini EMPs produced by the spark plugs). An actual EM event would affect the sensitive, high impedance data lines inside the vehicle, likely going to the processor in one of your modules and directly cooking it. You can EMP proof a vehicle but it essentially means building a giant bus bar under the hood and running grounds from literally everything to that bus bar, plus wrapping literally every wiring harness in a specialized copper mesh sheathing that is repetitively grounded based on the frequencies you want to shunt, for defending against a real EMP you'd want to run grounds from the shielding on your wiring harnesses at a standard spacing of every 6 inches at least. You don't want more then an inch or two of wire to be unshielded. I've done this kind of stuff before because when you're building a railgun or near a really high power RF source literally everything around it gets EMP'd .
I also like that in the video they saw, the guy did said to put the black wire to the negative side of the battery, and then the green the ground. As Angela also pointed out, why do we need to ground it to the body/chassis, when it is already done that as soon we put the black wire to the negative side of the battery? I dont know if the guy in the video had made it, but whoever had made it doesnt seem to know alot about cars before hand
in real life conditions you ain't gonna be hitting by an EMP without something even bigger to worry about (ie. nuclear explosion), even if this works instead of a massive faraday cage it's about the most meaningless thing to have
@@user-uv5ld3cx5t high altitude nuclear detonations could fry your electronics in a very wide area with minimal damage otherwise.
If you're worried about having a vehicle post-nuke, you just grab an old diesel car and forget about all the modern electronics, they'd be liability in the apocalypse even if they survived the EMP.
@@user-uv5ld3cx5tto be fair he did mention a CME which is a much more likely scenario like another carrington level event
It was sick that you actually showed up to Sandro’s shop and tested this product out. We definitely need more of that!
As far as the ratcheting flare nut wrenches, generally you would be able to move the wrench along the line far enough to get it off of the hex part of the fitting, so you then could rotate the ratchet by hand to line up the opening. So I think it would be a good setf or someone who uses flare wrenches a lot.
About that fire extinguisher spray, we have similar spray at work, ive used it few times, either on chemical fire when out cleaning spray caught on fire due to sparks, or electrical fire when light caught fire, or compensation capasitors caught on fire, or even on regural wood fire. I highly recomend it like on motorbike, or on quadbike, its small easy to use and every time i used it, it worked perfectly. But its very easy after use to loose all presure so its only one go than nothing.
It was so good to see them go and test it out at Sandro’s shop, I’d definitely like to see more of that or some more practical stuff on the channel.
