Flame Extinguishment by a Prototype of an Aerial Extinguisher with an Inert Gas Capsule

Abstract

This paper proposes a concept of a robotic fire-fighting system which performs fire extinguishment by a swarm of aerial extinguishers with inert gas capsules. This paper also develops a prototype of an aerial extinguisher and its control system. It is demonstrated that the extinguisher achieves flame extinguishment. This confirms a fire extinguishment ability of the proposed fire-fighting system and a mobility of inert gas capsules.
