Interesting... it does appear from the video that the fire actually ignites
a fuse on the device. Presumably heat alone wouldn't trigger it, you'd need
an actual flame. I wonder about it actually working tho... there isn't much
clearance between the lid and the engine so I wonder that it wouldn't just
dump out in a lump instead of spreading around enough to be effective. I
also wonder if the magnets would be strong enough to hold it to the lid
under various driving conditions- that is, you hit a good pothole and your
little canisters are sitting right on the engine, or maybe they're falling
out onto the road.

Cya,
Robert
