First we supplied a negative charge to the flame (pic. There is a candle between two electrodes. 1.) consists of two electrodes and a source of voltage. Now we want to describe you an experiment that will show you the interaction of the electromagnetic field and a flame. The device could even be mounted into the ceiling and save entire buildings from getting burnt when a fire breaks out in one small corner. American researches developed an electrical wave «blaster» that could be the basis of a new method of firefighting.Ī blaster could allow firefighters to open a path in a wall of flame in order to get inside a burning building, or open a passage of escape for people trapped inside the building. The scientists described means of extinguishing flames without flooding buildings with a large amount of water. In earlier experiments it was shown that the electrical power needed to influence the flame is much less compared to the combustion energy generated by the burning flame.Ī group of researchers from Harvard University in the USA predicts a day when firefighters will snuff out flames not with a physical suppressant but with a blast of electric current. The flame is influenced by the electric field mainly due to electric charges present in it as a result of chemical reactions that take place in the flame. The effects of electric fields on burning flames have been studied by using several types of experimental techniques as well as few numerical methods. Old- fashioned way: we use a point hose, a bucket and a pressurized container.Įxtinguishing fire with the help of electrostatic field may be more effective. But in general, we're still fighting fires in the Now we have flame suppressing foams and powders for instance, as well as new ways of delivering them to the fire. In some respects, firefighting technology has come a long way over the several past decades. That means, that acoustic waves affects on flames by decreasing its temperature. Fire have been extinguished in few seconds. They put fire between two speakers in experimental machine. The second method assumed, that fire can be extinguished by sound waves. It was affecting the flame, so powerful particle flow occurred, which were blowing flames away.

This is a method with using electric field. Military agency DARPA engineer's invented an unusual method of extinguishing fire. Fires can be extinguished traditionally by water, fuel removal or chemical flame inhibition. Fire (or conflagration) can be accidentally begun, naturally caused in forests or specially created by a man.įire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light and various reaction products. Firefighting is the practice of attempting to extinguish a fire, protect life and property, and minimize damage and injury. They threaten human life, animal life, health and property of people. Keywords: Electrostatic field, low-temperature plasma, Tesla generator, converter, candle.Įverybody knows what a great harm fires can do to people, buildings and nature through burning. Conducted theoretical calculations, which give an answer to the question: Is it possible to put out the fire using the electrostatic field? The description of technology of application of this phenomenon in the real world. The article is devoted to analyzing of the theoretical and practical study of the nature of the influence of electrostatic field in low-temperature plasma as a source of electrostatic field acts converter, followed by the application of this phenomenon in everyday life, using a more powerful device Tesla generator.
