Ahh, I love that idea except that would attract rusty filings... I wonder how to avoid that.
The challenge with putting a refrigerator inside anything is all the heat from the refrigerator will create a sauna. The refrigerator needs its coils to be outside the frunk. Better that they refrigerate the frunk as part of their highly integrated heat pump climate control system.
Make the rails steel or iron so magnets would stick to them, like these eye-bolts do to my refrigerator:
Magnets will attract rust particles from the ground and road-grit and erode off the chrome-nickel atoms that makes stainless, stainless.Make the rails steel or iron so magnets would stick to them, like these eye-bolts do to my refrigerator:
I wasn't thinking actual magnets, just a strip of iron protected by the stainless skin. My understanding is that a strong magnet would be able to clamp to ferrous material through the stainless.
The strip of iron would get rusty, the magnets sticking to it would attract rust particles...
Under the body, between the stainless and the interior trim, coated with a rust preventative treatment, and fastened with epoxy. Once the magnetic appliances are removed the location will not retain a magnetic force. The stainless will not be affected because it is harder than the iron particles attracted to the magnets in the appliance. Is it really that hard to visualize?
I think Crissa is saying is that the magnets I had suggested taking on and off the roof would attract iron dust and grind it into the roof. I agree with you that the “subdermal“ steel or iron would not be affected. So the trick would be to clean the base of the magnets right before attaching them to the roof, kind of like cleaning my shoes before walking inside.
Exactly. Also, you're driving around where other vehicles (and your own) are stirring up and shedding magnetic and ferric particles...
Her point was not lost on me. I understood what she was writing. That is why I elaborated. But the stainless steel proposed by Tesla would not be affected by rust. Not even as a polish. I use compressed air to blow the steel filings and dirt from my welding magnets. But, even a dry cloth, like the denim in a pair of pants, would be effective.
