Claims7
A system for enhancing the fire extinguishing properties of water for use with an amphibious airplane having a liquid reservoir, said system comprising:
- a storage vessel containing super absorbent polymeric material;
- a volumetric screw feeder for introducing a predetermined amount of super absorbent polymeric material into said liquid reservoir;
- a controller to operate said volumetric screw feeder;
- a valve to prevent water from entering said screw feeder;
- wherein said screw feeder introduces a predetermined amount of super absorbent polymeric material into said liquid reservoir when said liquid reservoir is empty, whereby said amphibious airplane can scoop water into said liquid reservoir for enhancing the fire extinguishing properties of the water.
