rev up your engines, today I'm going to show you how you can remove odors and gaseous
chemicals from your car using a simple filtration system, it's an auto wit air
filtration system that's made just for cars, look at it it fits right in your
cup holder, so filters the air right by you and it plugs right into your
power outlet so you don't have to think about it, now whether you know it or not
cars are full of all kinds of odors, especially newer cars, now when I was
younger, everybody wanted that new car smell, but they didn't realize what it
was, new car smell consists of volatile organic compounds
known as VOCs, now these VOCs are found in adhesives, fabrics, plastics, and all kinds
of stuff that are used when they make a vehicle, they emit a smell, through a process
known as off gassing, off gassing is the release of material that was previously
absorbed or trapped in that material, then it gets into the air and you
breathe it in, now the VOCs that you often breathing in a car, aren't very
good things, they often include things like hazardous materials of ethyl
benzene, formaldehyde, those are things that you find in nail polish, glue
things that you do not want to be breathing in all the time, now for some
people like my wife, these chemicals can cause headaches, dizziness, allergic
reaction and even nausea, so if you can get a little filter like this and stick
it in your cup holder and it gets rid of that stuff, hey what an idea, now this
filter can remove allergens, smoke, mold, dust, as small as 2.5 micrometers, it's
got a HEPA filter inside, it's got carbon activated filter, it even has a built-in
ionizer, and it's got three speeds, it's got a high speed to filter stuff out
really fast, then it's got a medium speed that's a lot quieter, then it has a very
low speed that hardly makes any noise at all, but the coolest thing is, this one
has color coating in it, tells you when there's clean, dirty, or in between
watch this, now as you can see here, it's green meaning the air is
good, I've got it on full speed so it sucks a lot of air, we're going to do a little
science experiment, here by pouring that in, and let's see what happens, here comes
the fumes and now it's changing colors showing that it's got pollution going
through it and it's going to filter it out, as you can see now it's red showing that
the air is polluted and it's going to filter it out, we'll let it run and you
can see now it's getting somewhat lighter it's starting to turn yellow
okay this is at 922, there it is turning yellow, at 923 it's getting to be a light
yellow, there it is and a little bit later at 9:23 it's turning green it's
purified the air, now they make the same basic filtration system that cost
about half of what this one costs, it doesn't have the multi speeds and it
doesn't have the colors in it to tell you when it's polluted and when it's
clean, but really I like this one because I like the colors and like being able to see
what's happening with the air, now if you've been watching me any length of
time, you know I really like to test stuff out correctly, so I did eat a can
of baked beans, and a few hours later I went in the car and I tried that out let
me tell you, that was a gaseous experiment that did the same thing, it was
green and as soon as I let loose, it turned red filtered it all out, until I
did it again, and then came green and it got rid of the odor, I was amazed, now you
might think what's this tiny other thing going to do, well hey it was made to go up
to 280 cubic feet, and hey even a Dodge Caravan van isn't that many cubic feet
so this thing can filter a car no problem at all, and since this is
mechanic Monday, I'm giving one of these filters away, to have a chance to win
just place a clean non offensive comment in the YouTube comments below, and the
winner will be chosen randomly by a computer to have clean fresh air in
their car, so if you never want to miss another one
