Abstract
A weather adjustment system for fighting forest and brush fires under dry, hot and winding conditions which includes a fan/blower for generating wind at extremely high speeds, a water source which supplies cold water into the wind forming a stream of cold water particles and a screen mesh which provides very fine particles of water within the stream. The stream is directed to a forest or brush fire dropping the temperature at the edge of the fire which eventually extinguishes the fire.
Claims20
A weather adjustment system for extinguishing forest and brush fires comprising:
- blower means for generating a stream of air, said stream of air being generated by said blower means at velocities of between 30 mph and 200 mph;
- power generating means for supplying electrical power to said blower means to energize said blower means
- means for providing a cold liquid to lower temperatures at said forest and brush fires;
- and
- injection means for injecting said cold liquid into said stream of air to form particles of said cold liquid within said stream of air, the particles of said cold liquid within said stream of air being directed at said forest and brush fires lowering the temperatures at said forest and brush fires extinguishing said forest and brush fires.

A weather adjustment system for extinguishing forest and brush fires comprising:
- a blower for generating a stream of air, said blower having a housing, a fan blade assembly rotatably mounted within said housing and a fan motor connected to said fan blade assembly to rotate said fan blade assembly to generate said stream of air at velocities of between 30 mph and 200 mph;
- a power generating circuit for supplying electrical power to said fan motor to energize said fan motor, said fan motor when energized rotating said fan blade assembly which generates said stream of air, said power generating circuit including:
- an electrical current generator for generating said electrical current;
- a normally open push button switch connected to said electrical current generator and said fan motor, said normally open push button switch when closed energizing said fan motor;
- a green light connected to said normally open push button switch and said fan motor, said green light providing an indication that said normally open push button switch is closed and said fan motor is operational when said green light is illuminated;
- and
- a fuze connected to said green light and said fan motor to provide current overload protection for said fan motor;
- a source of liquid for providing cold water to lower temperatures at said forest and brush fires;
- a nozzle positioned in proximity to said blower, said nozzle being connected to said source of liquid to receive said cold water from said source of liquid, said nozzle injecting said cold water into said stream of air to form particles of said cold water within said stream of air, the particles of said cold water within said stream of air being directed at said forest and brush fires lowering the temperatures at said forest and brush fires extinguishing said forest and brush fires.
6 more elements
A method for extinguishing forest and brush fires comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating a stream of air wherein said stream of air is generated at velocities of between 30 mph and 200 mph;
- (b) providing a cold liquid to lower temperatures at said forest and brush fires, said cold liquid having a temperature range of 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit;
- ©) injecting said cold liquid into said stream of air to form particles of said cold liquid within said stream of air;
- (d) lowering the temperatures at said forest and brush fires by directing the particles of said cold liquid within said stream of air;
- and
- (e) extinguishing said forest and brush fires wherein the particles of said cold liquid within said stream of air when directed at said forest and brush fires lower the temperatures at said forest and brush fires which extinguishes said forest and brush fires.
