Abstract
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.
Claims56
A method of suppressing fires, the method comprising:
- identifying a fire comprising plasma;
- and
- transmitting a signal proximate to the fire, wherein the signal is sufficient to disperse at least a portion of the plasma.
The method of claim 34, wherein the one or more compression waves collectively are sufficient to mitigate an shock wave created by the explosion.
A system for suppressing a fire comprising plasma, the system comprising:
- a signal generator for transmitting a signal proximate to the fire, wherein the signal is sufficient to disperse at least a portion of the plasma;
- an active gain control circuit, in communication with the signal generator, for adjusting one or more characteristics of the signal;
- and
- a computer system in communication with the active gain control circuit, the computer system comprising a processor and a set of instructions executable by the processor to calculate values for the one or more characteristics of the signal.
