Those things reach far...further than this thing can probably shoot the end of a hose. Have you ever seen a firetruck hose at full preasure?

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 03:11:45 +0000 http://www.yankodesign.com/?p=5663#comment-62426 What I see as the main flaw in this design is that pressure has nothing to do with putting out fires (other than the required amount combat loss from friction & elevation and actually reach the fire). A body of fire can only be extinguished if the gallons per minute are there as well. Even at 400-500psi, a hose that is discharging 5 gallons per minute will not extinguish a fire. The exception being in an enclosed space, water expands 1700X when it turns to steam, and this process consumes a tremendous amount of BTUs. But breaking the window to insert this device would not allow a head of steam to build anyway. R.

Or.... something, and use it as a flame thrower. =/ LOL. I would most likely mount some sort of torch near the nozzle, and I would fill it was gas.
