FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Tools and techniques for suppressing fires. Such tools might transmit a signal that generates one or more waves (which might be mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and/or the like) that is sufficient to disrupt the relationship between the electrons in a fire and the ionized nuclei to which those electrons are attracted. The resulting repulsion (between the nuclei and/or the electrons) that form the plasma of the fire can serve to disperse the plasma, thereby suppressing the fire.

主权项

1. A method of suppressing fires, the method comprising:
identifying a fire comprising plasma; transmitting a pulsed electromagnetic signal proximate to the fire to produce a series of compression waves having a fast-mode shock effect within the plasma; monitoring at least one characteristic of the fire in response to the pulsed electromagnetic signal; and varying at least one parameter of the pulsed electromagnetic signal transmitted proximate to the fire in response to the monitoring.
