this car cover is made from a tough elastic material. the
car cover has many small ultrasonic speakers that
produce
high decibel high frequency sounds, which are
programmed
to emit in various patterns according to the wash cycle.
a network of small pipes in the fabric will distribute
water.
a
reservoir for high foam detergent is also part of the
design. a powerful fan one end will provide some airflow
for the drying cycle.
the user will put this device over their vehicle and plug it
into the mains and water hose. the wash cycle would
proceed like this:
1. short rinse cycle with fresh water and ultrasonic
sound.
2. longer wash cycle with detergent and ultrasound.
3. airblast with powerful fan and ultrasound.
4. rinse with fresh water.
5. drying cycle with ultrasound and airblast.
once the car is washed remove the cover and fold-up and
put it back in the car.
perfect for travelling salespeople and reps.

instead of bubbles mold arteries to carry fluid in a small network of pipes. [codrakon, Aug 31 2009]

[+] Can it also be aborted half way through the process to allow you to soak the interiors of the open topped cars of your enemies? |
|
| |
Laughs silently (ultrasonically) as the hard plastic and glass components of [codrakon]'s car shatter and collapse while the car is being washed. |
|
| |
yes i did think about that. i propose an air vent
that sticks out of the partially open window, into
the open air. secondly i thought that maybe an
'airbag' like device would inflate on the inside of
the vehicle to act as insulation or absorbing
material for the possible destructive volumes this
device might produce. |
|
| |
but how loud must this device play. is it going to
be so loud that it will damage the components. |
|
| |
these cars [^] seem to survive in loud volume
environments. |
|
| |
for convertible cars one could purchase a custom
made one, made from plastic similar to pool mats
(an insulation/safety/maintenance cover over
water - looks like bubble wrap) but with the
inner layer moulded to cater for the fluid, by
forming arteries against the outer layer. in
between the spaces here electric (insulated from
water) ultrasonic speakers, drawing power from a
controlled circuit. |
|
| |
this plastic composite material comes in sheets
and can be made to fit most shapes. its primary
function is to apply cleansing action by means of
liquid (high foam) detergent and vibration. |
|
| |
it could be made to fit a convertible car, but [kaz]
wouldn't need one. it's not a nice idea to do that
to
your enemies. instead it could use liquid hydro
carbons and ultrasonic heating to ignite the fuel
and make a small contained explosion. |
|
| |
ultrasound does not damage by macroscopically deforming structures, as does the high-pressure, low frequency boomm of a boom box so the [link] is rather irrelevant (and the car needs no filling), but either you want the ultrasound useful (separating dirt from surfaces), or undamaging (leaving stuff on the surface that needs to be there (paint))... |
|
| |
Plus, ultrasound of the useful variety does not travel well in air, nor does it simply re-enter hard material after such travels, meaning a speaker not hard-bonded to the car, or in a continuous batch of water with it, will not have much effect on the car, or the dirt. |
|
| |
The powerful airblast is not explained as to it's source - does the source travel along the cover, or is the blast so powerful it does not need to (remember, the airblaster in stationary car-washes is rather big, consumes a few kW, and still has to travel the length of the car...) |
