Leaving a Bottle of Water in Your Car Could Start a Fire?
Leaving a bottle of water in your car this summer could start a FIRE? A plastic bottle of water can act like a lens that pinpoints sunlight on one specific spot, just like a magnifying glass. In most cases, it might just melt a small hole in your seat. But a fire IS possible.
Leaving a half-full bottle of water in your car could start a FIRE. And if you don’t believe it, there’s plenty of video evidence to back it up.
When the sun hits a plastic bottle at the right angle, the water in there can act like a lens, and concentrate the light on one specific point.
