Car Alarm Impact

Keeping Your Car and Your Car Audio System Safe

With car thefts on the increase, it's vital that you protect your car, the car audio system and any goods inside. One of the best security options out there is the car alarm, which deters thefts by emitting a loud, high pitched sound.

 

There are two types of car alarms currently available – the integrated car alarm (OEM) and the aftermarket alarm, which is installed at a later date.  The OEM car alarm is usually armed or disarmed by pressing the entry remote; however, some models allow you to arm the car by merely shutting the door or disarm as soon as you turn the ignition on. Aftermarket alarms, however, often can only be armed and disarmed by the remote.

 

Depending on the alarm system, your alarm might go off in different circumstances as it depends on what the alarm is triggered by. For OEM systems, the doors, the boot and the hood, plus, in some vehicles the ignition are monitored for any pressure or force. Some vehicles have an integrated impact sensor, which recognizes any significant impact on the car.

 

Aftermarket alarms range from very basic models to more complex ones. The basic models monitor vibrations or any surges in electrical current, usually suggesting the boot or a door is being opened; however, this obviously has drawbacks as it presumes any surge or voltage change is someone trying to break in, which is not always the case.  Yet, there are a variety of aftermarket models which are much smarter than their predecessors, as they can sense any force being used on the boot, hood and doors, as well as impact, plus, if the car is being tilted, the glass is broken and motion inside and outside the car.

 

The main advantage of an aftermarket alarm is that the key remote is universal and can be used on any car. They also have the option of altering trigger inputs, so that the car alarm only goes off when certain triggers occur. Being able to make these adjustments allows you to have much more control over your car alarm. For instance, some sensors on car alarms can be overly sensitive and having control over these can help you avoid those annoying false alarms.

 

Having a decent car alarm system is vital to protecting your car and your car audio system from theft. It also, however, needs to be just sensitive enough to pick up the signs of anyone breaking in without being too sensitive, so as to avoid false alarms. Some people don't take car alarms very seriously due to them going off falsely, which sadly means that cars are still stolen, despite the alarm being triggered. A high quality alarm system, however, won't often incur false alarms, in turn letting you only know when someone is seriously breaking into your car.

Impact! $26 Most scientists now agree that some sixty-five million years ago, an immense comet slammed into the Yucatan, detonating a blast twenty million times more powerful than the largest hydrogen bomb, punching a hole ten miles deep in the earth. Trillions of tons of rock were vaporized and launched into the atmosphere. For a thousand miles in all directions, vegetation burst into flames. There were tremendous blast waves, searing winds, showers of molten matter from the sky, earthquakes, and a terrible darkness that cut out sunlight for a year, enveloping the planet in freezing cold. Thousands of species of plants and animals were obliterated, including the dinosaurs, some of which may have become extinct in a matter of hours. In Impact, Gerrit L. Verschuur offers an eye-opening look at such catastrophic collisions with our planet. Perhaps more important, he paints an unsettling portrait of the possibility of new collisions with earth, exploring potential threats to our planet and describing what scientists are doing right now to prepare for this awful possibility. Every day something from space hits our planet, Verschuur reveals. In fact, about 10,000 tons of space debris fall to earth every year, mostly in meteoric form. The author recounts spectacular recent sightings, such as over Allende, Mexico, in 1969, when a fireball showered the region with four tons of fragments, and the twenty-six pound meteor that went through the trunk of a red Chevy Malibu in Peekskill, New York, in 1992 (the meteor was subsequently sold for $69,000 and the car itself fetched $10,000). But meteors are not the greatest threat to life on earth, the author points out. The major threats are asteroids and comets. The reader discovers that astronomers have located some 350 NEAs ("Near Earth Asteroids"), objects whose orbits cross the orbit of the earth, the largest of which are 1627 Ivar (6 kilometers wide) and 1580 Betula (8 kilometers). Indeed, we learn that in 1989, a bus-sized asteroid called Asclepius missed our planet by 650,000 kilometers (a mere six hours), and that in 1994 a sixty-foot object passed within 180,000 kilometers, half the distance to the moon. Comets, of course, are even more deadly. Verschuur provides a gripping description of the small comet that exploded in the atmosphere above the Tunguska River valley in Siberia, in 1908, in a blinding flash visible for several thousand miles (every tree within sixty miles of ground zero was flattened). He discusses Comet Swift-Tuttle--"the most dangerous object in the solar system"--a comet far larger than the one that killed off the dinosaurs, due to pass through earth's orbit in the year 2126. And he recounts the collision of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter in 1994, as some twenty cometary fragments struck the giant planet over the course of several days, casting titanic plumes out into space (when Fragment G hit, it outshone the planet on the infrared band, and left a dark area at the impact site la
