BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Different kinds of fire extinguishers are available like water and foam type, CO2, dry chemical, wet chemical, clean agent, water mist, etc. and are used for different purposes. However, CO2 cannot be used for paper and wood, flammable gases like methane. The wet chemical extinguisher cannot be used for paints, petrol, methane gases, electrical components, grease, and oil. Therefore, different types of the fire extinguishers have to be used for different sorts of materials. Chemicals used in such fire extinguishers causes harm to environment and leads to pollution.
[0004] Existing fire extinguishers contain harmful chemicals and are not environment friendly. Most of deaths take place due to wrong use of fire extinguishers. Some fire extinguishers cannot easily extinguish fire because of oxygen displacement without focusing on oil and heat. Some of the existing solutions include fire extinguishers which are used for specific materials and do solve purpose completely. Also, the solution can be heavy in weight, causing discomfort to user while extinguishing fire. There is risk associated with the user while extinguishing fire at places of fire as the user can get injured and the fire extinguisher causes harm to the user.
[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems by bringing a solution that eliminates risk associated with the user while extinguishing fire without material boundary or irrespective of type of materials. The solution extinguishes fire quickly comparatively and helps in maintaining environment clean, green and pollution free as the solution does not requires chemicals for extinguishing fire. Also, the solution is unmanned, cost effective, light in weight and can work aerially.
