Now airbags are coming as standard feature in every car, the government has taken such a step in view of the safety of the people. Whereas earlier airbags were seen only in the top models of cars. Do you know how airbags in cars work?
Highlights-
Airbags take less than a second (about 1/20 second) to open and its opening
speed is around 300 km / h.
Why airbags are important-
Airbags in cars work to save the life of the driver and passenger sitting in
the accident.As soon as the car collides, they open like a balloon and the
people sitting in the car do not hit the dashboard or steering of the car and
lose their lives.
The airbags that come in cars are known as SRS airbags, here SRS stands for
(Supplemental Restraint System), which states that as soon as you start your
car, the SRS in the car meter Indicators burn for a few seconds. If the SRS
indicator does not turn off after a few seconds or continues to burn, then
understand that there is something wrong with the airbag.
This is how airbags work
There is an impact sensor on the bumpers of the car. As soon as the car hits
something, a small current gets into the airbag system with the help of the
impact sensor, and the sodium azide gas inside the airbags is filled with that
gas. The gas form comes into play first, it is filled with some other form,
like the Impact Sensor sends current, the thing gets converted into gas. Let us
tell you that airbags are made of cotton, but they are coated with silicon. The
airbags take less than a second (about 1/20 second) to open and have an opening
speed of about 300 km / h.
The thing to note here is that the seat belts of the car are also linked to the
function of the airbags. So whenever you sit in a car, always wear seat belts,
do not rely only on bags.
