Car Capsule

Original Car Capsule units have been in service since 1988.


I wish I had one of these years ago! You take an enormous amount of care with your collector car. You watch where you park, where you drive, all in an effort to keep your pride and joy free from any dings, paint scrapes and all the evil things that can damage it. Invariably, most damage takes place in your own garage, by children, lawn mowers, pets, doors, and accidental dings. The Car Capsule forms a protective air cushion around your car or motorcycle, and anyone can admire your collectible without touching it.

The Car Capsule works with a fan directing a continuous airflow running through a clear inflatable bubble. The evaporative storage keeps your car dry, prevents corrosion or mildew, and eliminates musty interior odors. The filtered air keeps the car or motorcycle dust and insect free and in Concours condition without constant detailing. It is extremely economical to run, using about $1.50 worth of electricity a month. Expensive dry packs, air conditioners and humidifiers are unnecessary with The Car Capsule.

It is so easy to use! STEP 1
Unroll and spread out the base mat. Unzip the upper shroud from the base mat. Roll the upper shroud off of the base mat, exposing the area to which base mat attaches to the upper shroud.
STEP 2
Pull the vehicle on to the base mat. Unroll the upper shroud over the vehicle. Pull the bottom of the upper shroud until it meets the base mat. Place the fan in place making sure the velcro is fully attached.

STEP 3
Zip the upper shroud to the base mat. Plug the fan into the adaptor provided. The CarCapsule should take just a couple of minutes to inflate. Once it is fully inflated, place the filter in the opening surrounding the fan.

Drive the car or motorcycle on the base mat, place the clear cover over the vehicle, zip it up, plug in the fan and you're ready for long or short-term storage.

 

Specifications
The base mat is an easy to clean laminated fabric, flame-resistant, tear-resistant, and impermeable to moisture, abrasion, mildew and rot resistant. Upper PVC shroud is clear, 8 mil. thick double polished and double sewn. Fan is 12V, high pressure, 5 year rating with U.L Lab certification. Zipper is 100% self-repairing nylon.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAR CAPSULE SETUP
Select your place of set up by considering the following:
The start of zipper location should also be the location of the electrical source.
The air intake should be away from outside doors and heat sources.
The surface should be as flat as possible.
The base mat should be located with all sides accessible to work the zippers.
We have included two Styrofoam tubes to place over the zipper. When these are in place, your vehicle will not damage the nylon zipper when rolling it onto the mat. Roll the vehicle onto the base mat leaving equal distance on all sides. Take care not to turn the steering wheel while on the base mat.
Insert the fan panel into position, smooth out the Velcro.
Push the male connector thru the slit in the base mat. Connect the male end to the female end connector of the fan motor.
Starting at the fan end, carefully drape the clear center section over the vehicle’s hood, roof and trunk. Zip both zippers closed securing the tops and sides.
Plug the 12V transformer into your wall outlet and your CarCapsule will start to inflate. After the bubble is completely inflated, insert the filter by pushing the brim inside the flap around the fan.
To increase air flow thru the cover to dry wet vehicles or to regulate the air pressure in extremely hot weather, simply readjust the rear zipper closure to allow more air to flow through the capsule. On the average the Car Capsule will change its air volume 3 to 4 times per hour.
For the Silver Outdoor Model: The outdoor model has tie-downs to prevent movement of your bubble in the wind. The loops for the tie-downs are located on each side of your bubble.
Attach a string to an eyelet on the top of the bubble. Tie a secure knot. 
Drive a stake into the ground at a forty-five degree angle away from your bubble. Attach the string to the stake. Repeat A and B on other side of your bubble. 


CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAR CAPSULE

The clear unit is for indoor use only. The silver unit is for outdoor use.
Do not put any material under the floor section, it will only trap moisture! This can create mold or mildew.
Locate the air intake filter away from outside doors or sources of heat such as water heaters, furnaces, roll-up metal doors or washer/dryers.
Keep the air filter clean by hand washing in warm water. You may use a mild dish soap if necessary.
Do not place any source of heat inside the cover (not even a light bulb).
If Car Capsule is first used in extremely cold climates, blow up in a warm area to help PVC become pliable.
When you first set up your CarCapsule for the first time, it will have a lot of wrinkles. As it is kept inflated, the remainder of the wrinkles will work themselves out.
If you CarCapsule gets dusty you can use a car duster. To remove stains, use warm water and a mild dish soap.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
If you are bringing in the air from the outside you are also bringing in the moisture from the outside. How does the vehicle stay dry? 
The CarCapsule does not eliminate humidity it eliminates condensation. The fan exchanges the air by volume 3-4 times an hour. This constant air change and air flow does not allow hot air and cold masses to meet. This in turn eliminates condensation and keeps the vehicle completely dry no matter what the temperature or humidity level.
 
If I put my car away wet, what will happen?
The CarCapsule is an evaporative system. The constant air change will evaporate all moisture in a matter of hours. This will prevent rust from the exterior parts while eliminating mold and mildew from the interior.
 
Should I leave the windows up or down inside the Car Capsule?
You should leave the windows either down all the way or at least half the way down. If you have a convertible the top should be put up so that it will not trap moisture in the compartment it is stored in. This will let the air circulate throughout the interior keeping it dry and odor free.
 
How much room does the Car Capsule take up?
Once inflated the CarCapsule takes up about 1 foot on either side of the vehicle. The front and back depend on what size CarCapsule is used.
 
How do you get the vehicle in the Car Capsule?
The CarCapsule has 2 zippers that run around the basemat to the back where the fan is located. Just unzip and roll the upper shroud towards the fan. Pull the vehicle on to the base mat and roll the upper shroud over the vehicle. Zip up the unit and plug in the fan. The CarCapsule takes about 5-10 minutes to inflate.
 
What happens if I get a hole in it?
The upper shroud is made of 8 mil PVC. If you do happen to puncture the unit use a piece of clear 100% PVC shipping tape. This will bond to the upper shroud and will not come off.
 
What if the power goes out?
The cover will deflate and turn into a regular car cover. When the power returns it will re-inflate in a matter of minutes. We do have a cigarette lighter adapter cord that can be run off of a 12 volt power supply for prolonged power disruptions or for use at car shows.
 
Do you have a CarCapsule that will fit my pick-up truck?
Yes, we make a CarCapsule that is tall enough to fit full size trucks and SUV's. We also make an extended version that will fit most older cars like Packard, Rolls Royce and Cadillac.
 
Do you need to use another cover with the CarCapsule?
You do not need to use another cover with the CarCapsule. This will only block air from circulating in the interior and might trap moisture.
 
Can the CarCapsule be used for short-term storage?
The CarCapsule can be used for short-term, long-term or anything in between. It takes about the same time to use as a regular car cover except for the inflating of the unit. It takes about a couple of minutes to get the car out.
 
Do you have to drain the gas tank or any other fluids before you put the vehicle away?
No, the basemat is impervious to gas, diesel, oil or antifreeze. You do not have to worry about these odors because the air is constantly changing.
 
Do you have to use any dry packs or chemicals to keep the vehicle dry?
No, dry packs or chemicals are not needed. This is an evaporative system that uses air flow to prevent condensation. This enables you to take your vehicle in and out anytime you want without having to mess with chemicals or dry packs.
 
Will the CarCapsule protect my vehicle from rodents?
The 55 T-Bird on our web site and literature has been stored in an unheated warehouse in the Midwest for 7 years. We have not had a problem with any kind of critters chewing through the material. This car looks as good now as it did when we first put it in the CarCapsule.
 
How long will the CarCapsule last?
The prototypes were built in 1988 and are still in use today.
 
What if something falls on the CarCapsule while my vehicle is in it?
We have dropped a five pound sledge hammer on top of the CarCapsule and it just bounced off. It will also protect against weed whackers, rakes or snow shovels that lean against the side of the unit.
