Ok, i'm chill...

for the sake of this discussion...

what is the function of the engine air filter in your car? to keep bigger particles of dust from interfering with the combustion process, right?

how big do the particles have to be before they affect the combustion process? can't be as small as 2.5 microns - the combustion process itself produces carbon particles. this is what you see at the end of your exhaust, more commonly known as soot.

so what is the size of the carbon particles? pretty big, since it can be seen with the naked eye. but for the sake of discussion, let's say they are much smaller.

what is the point of filtering out the haze particles if the engine is producing soot which is much bigger?

another point to note - the amount of air that can pass through a filter is inversely proportionate to its efficacy. this means that the finer the filter, the less amount of air passing through.

the stoichiometric ratio (go google it) is 14.7:1

good luck with installing N95 filters to your car. get ready to see a lot of smoke - your car will be running extremely rich due to oxygen starvation.

you familiar with the saying "using cow knife to kill ant?" - end up killing your car.

what would make better sense is to install N95 filters to the exhaust - to prevent more pollution. but then again that will cause restriction of exhaust, which is another story altogether...

Jin, you got out from the wrong side of the bed is it? I already said I don't even want to comment liao. N95 mask for car? How dumb can dumb be? Some people really treat their cars like human and I say feed it Viagra... don't need tuning or modding. Just drop a few blue tablets into the tank.

Next question will be can this mask fit? Buay liao one...

Come on guys, cool it.
Let's not waste bandwidth.

Ya... all that butt-feel feedback about reduced performance from a week of air pollution in just psychological. If you're that sensitive you should consider a career in R&D up in the Eifel mountains.

Your car is tougher than you are. And it's not a living thing. It will not be anxious at PSI 401. It will not treat you better if you wash it every day. It will not feel pain if you red line it.
 
Re: N95 mask for car?

All these people commenting on wanting cleaner air for car, probably don't even clear carbon enough.
 
Re: N95 mask for car?

it was actually more tongue in cheek but somehow people felt so serious about it. i thought lounge supposed to relax :)

It's mind-bogglingly shameful, that's what it is, the sense of self-entitlement & egocentricity that I've encountered in some of the people since the haze started a week ago. "Garhmen should do this", "Garhmen should do that", "SMEs should be given haze rebates to help their businesses stay afloat", "Need more funding".

But, when it comes to paying IRAS their dues, all KPKB - well, WHO IS PAYING FOR ALL THIS SHIT then!?!?!

Grow a spine, grow a pair - and stop sending the message to the world that all it takes for Singaporeans to fall flat on their faces and surrender is a PSI of 401.

The army was the first big organisation in Singapore to surrender to the haze... 'nuff said :(
