    oha! oha!

    effective naman daw

    NEWSCONTENT

    Typhoons are regular visitors to Southern China’s coastlines, the rainy winds bring plenty of destruction each and every time they visit. Homes and offices get flooded, and cars fill with water. This year Guangdong Govenrment have offered to wrap its own fleet and cars belonging to personal owners in plastic bags to keep the rain and water at bay. Users simply drive their cars into the gigantic sandwich bag and then seal it shut with the seal pointing upwards of course.
    Either this is a genius idea, or roads will be full of floating cars if the Typhoon Vincent drops enough water on Guangdong in the next few hours.
    Sino kaya unang makakapag import from china nyan? gandang raket yan ah.. hmmmm

    Bibigat lang kung foam mattress.

    Buy big rolls of bubbles wrap

    or fill it with styro bubbles.

    The vehicle needs to be tied down to heavy weights so it won't float away.

    It looks promising but I have big concerns on its reliability. Zipppers aren't air tight and aren't very reliable seals. Zippers can come undone. Even if you fold the edges upwards, rain water from the top could still leak into the bag via the zippers. Over time the water seeping through will build up and compromise the safety of the vehicle. For weather like ours where it rains constantly this is a big issue. If you park in a covered garage then it will be okay but a lot of people park outside exposed to the rain, that is where the problem lies.

    The KISS principle("Keep It Simple Stupid") should be used when designing something to protect an expensive investment like a car. The zipper bag is too complex of a design which has more areas that could fail especially in an open air parking environment.

    I would still prefer a single piece heavy duty plastic bag that you just have to seal one end and anchor to a solid structure. In that kind of design all they have to focus on designing is the seal to be used on one end of the bag to ensure air doesn't escape to keep the car safe inside, and the type of durable plastic to be used.
