Here's an interesting bit of information, from the
|
|
"Texas Co-Op Power" - Sept. 1993, issue, entitled
|
|
|
|
"Israeli Electric Wind Extinguishes Fires".
|
|
|
|
A novel, more environmentally sound method for extinguishing fires
|
|
uses electricity instead of chemicals or water.
|
|
|
|
The Technology, being marketed by a Tel-Aviv firm, directs an
|
|
intense electrical field and/or gaseous plasma to the base of the
|
|
fire. An "electric wind" cools the area in which combustion is
|
|
occurring. The process also inhibits the fire's fuel supply.
|
|
|
|
The technology should avoid some of the drawbacks of existing fire-
|
|
fighting equipment, such as ozone damage to the environment, hazards
|
|
to operating personnel, noise, and a high rate of costly fire
|
|
alarms.
|
|
|
|
A technical paper describing the new process was presented in late
|
|
May by co-inventor Esther Jacobson to a meeting of the National Fire
|
|
Prevention Association in Orlando.
|
|
|
|
The equipment uses only 1000 volts of electricity during an
|
|
extinguishing operation, according to Jacobson.
|
|
|
|
Spectrex Inc. of Cedar Grove, NJ, a subsidiary of Israel's
|
|
Spectronix Ltd., is looking for a strategic partner in the U.S. to
|
|
help it find suitable applications.

Vangard Note..
|
|
|
|
It is amazingly coincidental that Norman, Bert and some others
|
|
brought the principle of electrostatic quenching of fires up at
|
|
our last Roundtable. The discussion noted that with a
|
|
sufficiently intense ion flow (negative, I believe), a propane
|
|
torch could be directed at a flammable mass having such a
|
|
"shield" and it would not burn or even get hot.
|
|
|
|
Various theories were brought up regarding this phenomenon, among
|
|
them :
|
|
1) That heat and fire must be of an electromagnetic
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nature and thus involve frequency(ies) because of the
|
|
"interference" of the energy by this turbulent ion
|
|
wind,
|
|
|
|
2) that the ion wind acted to displace the oxygen from
|
|
the immediate vicinity and so cut off the fuel
|
|
necessary to sustain combustion
|
|
|
|
We have not seen any reports on this subject as to actual
|
|
experiments. These would make a great demonstration and/or video
|
|
and possibly lead to practical devices (portable?) like the one
|
|
described in the above article.
|
|
|
|
In some of our experiments with a large Tesla coil, it was noted
|
|
that an ionic wind did seem to be projected as the electricity
|
|
streamed from pointed fingers or arms. At that time, we did not
|
|
think about this being an opportunity to do some experiments.
|
|
|
|
However, one of the stunts used in our ZAP show was to hold up a
|
|
torch handle containing paper, then momentarily switch on the
|
|
coil. This caused the paper to flame up but it did NOT
|
|
extinguish it, possibly because of the short duration burst.
|
|
|
|
On leaving the platform after allowing the electricity to course
|
|
over the skin, you could smell ozone from your skin for a couple
|
|
of hours. There was also a spider web feeling as if some kind of
|
|
clinging sheet was attached to you. The only other thing I have
|
|
ever felt that was like this, was when you hang your arm over an
|
|
open car window on a warm day. The wind seems to place a charge
|
|
on the arm and you will feel a similar feeling where it tingles
|
|
and has this kind of static web. Perhaps this is what happens
|
|
with this electrostatic field, it forms a kind of web or matrix.
|
|
Try it yourself.
|
|
|
|
If a mass could be sufficiently charged, perhaps this is one
|
|
approach to CAUSING THE MASS ITSELF TO PROJECT THE WIND, thus
|
|
protecting it from flame and heat by both turbulence and oxygen
|
|
displacement.
