CROSS-REFERENCE

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/245,689, filed September 17, 2021, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Every year millions of acres of land are destroyed due to wildfires. In two of the past five years, wildfire destruction surpassed 10 million acres. Some years have seen the loss of over 40 million acres. Wildfire related loss of homes, farms, vehicles, animal and human life have all increased recently, due to drought, pest infestation, and climatic change.

SUMMARY

[0003] While many current fire extinguishing means exist, many lack the ability to efficiently extinguish large number of bush fires. The low exit velocities and high flow rates of current devices requires large volumes of dispersing agents, which limits portability. As such, the devices and systems herein propel smaller volumes of dispersing agents at higher speeds to more efficiently extinguish fires.

[0004] One aspect provided herein is a portable fire extinguishing system comprising: a dispersing agent tank having a first inner surface comprising a fill port; a pipe fitting fluidically coupled to the fill port, wherein a first termination of the pipe fitting is generally parallel to and offset from the first inner surface; a pressurizer fluidically coupled with a second termination of the fitting; and a fill hose fluidically coupled with a third termination of the fitting.

[0005] In some embodiments, the system further comprises a one-way check valve fluidically coupling the fill hose to the third termination of the pipe fitting. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a quick disconnect fluidically coupling the one-way check valve to the fill hose. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a quick disconnect fitting fluidically coupling the one-way check valve to the fill hose. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a feed hose fluidically coupling the pressurizer to the second termination of the pipe fitting. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a quick disconnect fitting fluidically coupling the feed hose to the pressurizer. In some embodiments, the pipe fitting further comprises a fourth termination that is generally parallel to and offset from the first inner surface. In some embodiments, the fill hose terminates in a female garden hose threaded coupling. In some embodiments, the dispersing agent tank further comprises: a waste belt; a backpack strap; a removable cap; or any combination thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] Provided herein, per FIGS. 1-6, is an exemplary portable fire extinguishing system 1,000. As shown in FIG. 2, the exemplary portable fire extinguishing system 1,000 comprises a dispersing agent tank 100, a pipe fitting 200, a pressurizer 300, and a fill hose 410.

[0014] In some embodiments, the dispersing agent tank 100 has a first inner surface 110. In some embodiments, the first inner surface 110 comprises a fill port 120. In some embodiments, the dispersing agent tank 100 further comprises a backpack 600. In some embodiments, the backpack 600 comprises a waste belt 620, a backpack strap 630. a removable cap 610, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the dispersing agent tank 100 is configured to contain a dispersing agent. In some embodiments, the dispersing agent comprises a surfactant. [0015] In some embodiments, the pipe fitting 200 is fluidically coupled to the fill port 120. In some embodiments, a first termination 210 of the pipe fitting 200 is generally parallel to and offset from the first inner surface 110. In some embodiments, the pipe fitting 200 further comprises a fourth termination 240 that is generally parallel to and offset from the first inner surface 110. In some embodiments, the offset prevents foaming of the dispersing agent as it enters the dispersing agent tank 100.

[0016] In some embodiments, the pressurizer 300 is fluidically coupled with a second termination 220 of the fitting. In some embodiments, the pressurizer 300 comprises a battery for portable able use. In some embodiments, the pressurizer 300 comprises a charging cable to power the battery. In some embodiments, the pressurizer 300 is a pressure washer. In some embodiments, the pressurizer 300 is configured to eject a fluid from the dispersing tank 100 at a rate of about 10 ml/min, 20 ml/min, 30 ml/min, 40 ml/min, 50 ml/min, 75 ml/min, 100 ml/min, 150 ml/min, 200 ml/min, 250 ml/min, 300 ml/min, 350 ml/min, 500 ml/min, 600 ml/min, 700 ml/min, 800 ml/min, 900 ml/min, or 1,000 ml/min.
