Containers with special batteries for wind turbines are on fire – exploding lithium cells endanger fire fighting teams (on tape)
Population is warned of possible danger from escaping gases – there are always minor explosions

Date: Saturday 27. April 2024, 9 p.m.

Location: Moormerland, Leer district, Lower Saxony

(sg) A large container loaded with lithium batteries has caught fire in Neermoor. The container served as a buffer for a manufacturer of wind turbines. The incident occurred this morning and resulted in an extensive deployment of the fire brigade.

I missed this fire two weeks ago. This storage fire occurred after a crack in the earths magnetic field opened on April 26th which i suspect was caused by a passing CME that may have skimmed/pulled on earths magnetic field to open the crack. Two firefighters were injured tending to the fire according to a firefighters youtube coverage of the event.

You can see evidence of the crack and the passing CME here. You need to change the date range to go back 30 days. On April 26th you'll see magnetic field in purple for an extended time which indicates a crack. You'll also see a spike in Solar wind & solar wind temperature indicative of a passing CME. Usually a direct hit causes an immediate spike, like a stock gapping up, instead of a gradual climb.

I go into how EMF causes thermal runaway in lithium batteries in the following information.

========================================

How does EMF cause lithium batteries to experience thermal runaway and thus spontaneously combust? One of two main ways:

#1 - Overcharge/Discharge

With various impressed external magnetic field intensities an effect was noticed on the charge and discharge curves as well as the charge and mass concentrations within the batteries. With the two-dimensional model starting from 0mT and going to 1mT had the effect of discharging the battery faster and charging the battery faster. With the two-dimensional model starting from 1mT and going to -1mT had the effect of charging the battery faster. In either case an effect on the various characteristics of the battery were studied. With the experiments conducted on the two types of batteries the effect was more profound than subtle. Discharge times were twice as fast and charge times were equally
affected. With the smaller batteries they all generally charged faster under the presence of a magnetic field due to more uniform penetration. In the presence of the field they also discharged faster. The larger batteries would not see the same uniform penetration because only a small area of the battery sees the center of the coil it is placed on

In this dissertation, they found that external magnetic fields significantly increased charge and discharge rates in individual lithium battery cells; like shown in the following image. They also found that smaller batteries were impacted to a greater degree than larger ones. This is likely a reason Tesla is switching to larger battery cells in addition to employing magnetic attenuating honeycomb sandwich battery pack.

#2 - Stimulation of Dendrite Growth

Thermoelectric current causes asymmetric growth pattern of dendrites.

thermoelectromagnetic convection occurs in the vicinity of the solid-liquid interface, and vortices are generated between dendritic arms. It is shown that the thermoelectromagnetic convection has a major influence on dendritic morphology.
