inventions TO FIGHT WILDFIRES
The video above is a test that was done at oregon state univ
The first part of video shows a burning wood pile that is near a sheet of material that represents the walls of a house.
The burning wood pile has ignited the walls of the house.
Thermocouples behind the sheet of material read 500 degrees.
The next video has a similar setup with a new wood pile.
However, 3 of my spray nozzles, that are 10 feet apart, are creating a wall of water between the wood pile and the wall of the house.
The temperature behind the material is now only 50 degrees.
It seems that the nozzles can protect a house from a fire in a neighboring house.
My ultra low cost automatic external spray system can be seen at
Thanks to Dr.Deepak Sharma and Dr.David Blunck from Oregon State University for designing and performing the flame tests on my spray nozzles.
IF YOU EXPAND THE VIMEO VIDEOS, YOU MAY HAVE TO HIT ESCAPE TO CONTINUE. IF THAT FAILS, RESTART.

It is good for protecting homes from wildfire and also to prevent escape of prescribed fires.
The wide spray FROM THE HOSE quickly quenches the fire.
The first half of video shows a fire hose nozzle with a wide spray.
The second half of the video shows an array of my patented nozzles spraying a house.
Note that the output of my nozzles has the same pattern as the output of the fire hose. However my nozzles are 10 feet apart and my 8 nozzles deliver
8 times the water that the fire hose nozzle delivers.
AND my system is AUTOMATIC. No firefighter has to stand next to the fire.
The next photo are TWEETS from the fire chief that supported the system shown in the second half of the previous video.
