A device for controlled and dynamic wide-area aerosol fire suppression via gravitational release from an aircraft

Abstract

The utility model relates to a device for controlled and dynamic large-area aerosol fire suppression via gravitational release from an aircraft at an altitude between 30 m and 200 m. The device for controlled and dynamic aerosol-based large-area fire suppression by gravitational release from an aircraft, as described in the utility model, comprises a flexible, spherical, airtight vinyl casing (6), equipped at the top with a filling opening (2) for loading water or a fire suppressant into the internal free volume (7). A system of reinforced vinyl straps (5) with intermediate guide rings is arranged meridionally on the outer surface of the elastic spherical airtight vinyl casing (6). The lower ends of the belts in the system of reinforced vinyl belts (5) are fixed in place in the lower polar region of the elastic spherical airtight vinyl casing (6), while their upper ends terminate in rings that are hinged via a carabiner to reinforced metal cables (3) connected to a mechanism for attaching to a helicopter (1). A metal plate for the drone (4), made of ferromagnetic material, is mechanically integrated into the lower hemisphere of the elastic, spherical, airtight vinyl casing (6). Upon impact with the ground, the metal drone plate (4) transfers the kinetic energy to the water (fluid) in the internal free volume (7), causing a controlled rupture of the elastic spherical hermetic vinyl casing (6) between the belts of the reinforced vinyl belt system (5) and a radial dispersion of the water (fluid).
