wyldfire system TO FIGHT WILDFIRES
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.
$4000 automatic spray systems can protect a large home from grassfires and embers
CURRENT AUTOMATIC SPRAY SYSTEMS COST $20,000 FOR A 2000 SQUARE FOOT HOUSE
- The following sections describe an above ground hose system that costs around $4000 for a medium size house. A system that is buried underground will cost more.
- A later section describes a system for small homes and house trailers. That system costs around $2500.
Two spray nozzles at 100 psi
The above us patent describes my spray nozzle invention
Fig 1 below shows a complete automatic spray system.
IT HAS BEEN GRANTED A US PATENT 11,673,009.
The main idea is to manually start a simple, low cost pump before a homeowner is going to evacuate. Starting the engine on a simple pump means placing the choke, by hand, in the START position, and keeping the throttle at a low setting. Once the gasoline engine starts, the choke is placed by hand in the RUN position and the throttle is moved to the MAX position. Since the fire has not arrived yet, we don't want to spray water.
The electric 2-PORT VALVE is in the closed position, and no water sprays on the house yet.
In order to keep the pump cool, a small hose feeds the pumped water back into the tank.
The homeowner evacuates.
When the fire arrives, any one of the temperature sensors can cause the
2-PORT-VALVE to OPEN, and the spray is enabled onto the house.
