An American YouTuber plunged his flooded car into rice. After a few hours, the vehicle restarted.
In a video posted to YouTube on Monday February 6, Rich Rebuilds, an American car-loving YouTuber, tested an unlikely technique to repair a flooded vehicle, as reported Autonews.
For the experiment, the American bought an out of order Audi Q8 e-tron. Victim of a hurricane, the vehicle was declared out of order. He then installed the car in a large box, built especially for the occasion. Before covering it with… 1900 kg of expired rice. The cereal is indeed known for its absorption properties, playing the role of a sponge on humidity.
After a few hours, the rice took effect and the vehicle was able to restart.
