Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM THAT PUTS OUT FIRES WITH THE USE OF HELICOPTERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/124952
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In case of a fire outbreak, the fleet of the helicopters is immediately informed which directly rushes to the spot of the fire. According to the invention, the helicopters are equipped with mechanisms that launch fire extinguishing materials. The helicopters afford a mechanism that creates-produces snow, fog. When the helicopters arrive to the spot of the fire, they do a circular deployment, they start launching and moistening all the untouched points with fire extinguishing material (3) around the focus of the fire and then the fire focus is beaten (4). Gradually, as the fire is put out, the ringer of the helicopters is being eliminated. Laser beams can be used as a method of fire extinguishing, that is to send a strong laser beam to the fire spot in order to create a wall along the fire preventing the latter to expand.

CLAIMS

1. Method of fire extinguishing characterized by that during the phase A, a ringer around the fire is created by the helicopters launching and moistening the untouched points with fire extinguishing materials (3), preventing the spread of the fire.

5. 2. System of fire extinguishing characterized by that subsequently the helicopters form a ringer at the perimeter of the fire focus (4) using fire extinguishing materials and at the same time put out the fire focus closing the ringer.

3. Fire extinguishing system according to the claim 2, characterized by that the fire 10. extinguishing means are snow or chemical liquid or foam or ice fog or combination of those.

4. Fire extinguishing system according to the claim 3, characterized by the use of fire extinguishing mean with laser beams around the fire focus and by the fire extinguishing.

15. 5. Use of helicopters for extinguishing fires with the use of fire extinguishing means.

Description:
METHOD AND SYSTEM THAT PUTS OUT FIRES WITH THE USE OF HELICOPTERS

DESCRIPTION

The invention refers to a new way and a new method putting out fires through air. It is about a whole new modern, pioneering and innovative system. The invention includes a mechanism placed exclusively on helicopters.

ccording to the invention, nowadays the helicopter is considered as the only mean that will be used along with the extinction mechanism that launches materials specialized on the fire extinction on the ground.

Four (4) different mechanisms that produce and launch extinction materials have been invented.

Mechanism that produces and launches very cold clouds.

Mechanism that produces and launches snow in a maximum quantity.

Mechanism that produces and launches thousands small balls and cysts filled with extinction materials.

Mechanism that launches special extinction foam.

According to the invention, only one of the mechanisms will be chosen and this one will equip all the helicopter fleet.

The existing way of putting out fires until now is the vertical launch of water from airplanes as well as the launching of water from ground means.

For the vertical launching of water, the airplanes must be over the fire while the ground means must be closed to the fire in order to launch water horizontally. Both ways are difficult and dangerous while the fire expands rapidly being uncontrolled.

According to the invention we have new ways and methods in which only helicopters are used to a developing fire, launching variant extinction materials horizontally.

In case of a fire, all the helicopter fleet is united and directed immediately to the place of the fire.

The helicopters will form a circle (ring) around the fire and will launch the extinction materials, chemical liquid, foam, cold cloud etc (water has been excluded).

In that way, all the untouched points around the fire will be moistened (3) and the fire expansion will be deterred otherwise prevented and also the helicopters will be closed to the fire (4) and will gradually put it out as the circle of the helicopters will narrow until the fire is totally extinct.

According to the new invention the existing technology is put to use and the advantages of the existing means of fire extinction (through air) as well as the avoidance of the disadvantages are combined so as to organize the methods of fire extinction with a totally new way.

Many advantages of the helicopters can me mentioned as far as their use in fire extinction.

They are very flexible and can me moved towards any direction quickly and safe.

They can be filled with extinction materials from ground in short time without time loss and can return to the point they were before in order to continue the fire extinction.

A helicopter can remain still in the air and stable for a long time in order to launch extinction materials onto the fire.

Small pine trees can be engrafted while being young so as to get immunity to fire while growing up.

Also laser beams could be used as a way of fire extinction. More specifically, a very powerful laser beam could be sent to a firing area in order to create a wall to the points where the fire has not yet arrived, thus preventing the fire from expanding.
