Wait. Wait wait wait, the spark plug sits atop the, uh, explody-boom chamber, right? So that line is pumping unexploded, decompressed fuel-air mixture?

That seems hazardous. Should we warn them?

There’s an exchange mechanism. The pressure of the fuel/air mixture is used to draw in and compress ambient air. The lower-pressure fuel/air mix is unceremoniously ejected.

How do you make the bag stop inflating, stay inflated, and deflate in a controlled manner? It doesn't look safe to have someone in the driver's seat while the car is like that.

I believe you just leave the car running and it has an internal valve that stops it deflating when you pull the hose off:

It's not safe to have someone in the driver's seat while the car is propped up on a jack, either.

gonna be honest, not really wild about just filling the air around my car with aerosolized gasoline. i appreciate your enlightening me about this situation but it still seems risky.

Well yeah but there’s no reason to get in the driver’s seat when it’s on a normal jack because the engine isn’t running and you don’t want it to be.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
In the Nigeria delta they have a huge illegal oil refining industry and piracy is rife.
Check out these non OSHA compliant refineries. They literally tap in to the oil pipelines and bring it ashore and refine it using crude methods. These guys are swimming in crude oil and diesel. Covered head to toe and using the most dangerous possible methods.
The Niger delta/Southern Nigeria seems wild.

Now it can mean either, but originally it was a portmanteau of "electricity" and "execution", so it meant fatal shocks exclusively back then. Largely because the word was invented as part of a campaign to slander AC current, but still.

Seriously though I assume that has something to do with the draft from the rotors? Or maybe that combined with the wind coming back up?

Would she have stayed conscious during that? I have absolutely terrible inner ears (I even get vertigo from that certain drill frequency at the dentist!) and there's no way I wouldn't promptly vomit my guts out and then hope for sweet unconsciousness

She’s elderly so I’d imagine as little as 3g continuously could be enough to knock her out.

Fine I do it myself:

http://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/arizona-news/74-year-old-woman-rescued-after-being-injured-while-hiking-on-piestewa-peak

quote:

The airlift did not go as it was expected to -- take a look at the video. During the rescue, air turbulence from the helicopter's rotor caused a bumpy ride for the woman. She was seen on a stretcher spinning at a fast pace below the helicopter. The woman was then transported to an area trauma center for evaluation.

During a news conference Tuesday afternoon, officials said during the hoist rescue, a line that was supposed to help prevent the spinning didn't prevent it, and that the phenomenon is known in the hoist rescue industry. Officials also said similar incidents have happened in the past, and that procedures were done to try and stop the spin.


Neat.

Accounts differ as to the exact age of the woman. Officials did say the woman suffered no ill effects from the spin, aside from a bit of dizziness and nausea. No firefighters were injured during the rescue.

Install a reaction control system on the stretcher to counteract the spin.
