The Russian research and production enterprise "Moscow Institute of Heat Engineering" has found a way to extinguish forest fires using rocket technology, having patented a "cannon" for extinguishing, it follows from the documents posted in the database Rospatent .

"The invention relates to the field of foam fire extinguishing and is designed to prevent and extinguish large-sized fires in hard-to-reach areas," follows from the explanation to the patent.

In addition, the "cannon" will be used to create barrier strips in the process of eliminating forest top and bottom fires.

The novelty of the extinguishing method is that a special composition for the formation of foam is placed in an aqueous solution. Thus, the foam is not formed immediately, but is activated over time. Given that the flight range of foam is less than that of a jet of liquid solution, the authors consider the proposed method to be more "long-range", allowing to extinguish fires at a greater distance.

The device implements the "rocket" principle of operation, which the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering uses to produce solid-fuel rockets.

In the fire extinguishing system, solid fuel elements are ignited and the products of their combustion displace the aqueous solution from the tank, that is, they "shoot" in the right direction.Gorenje.

It is worth noting that the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering is a developer and manufacturer of intercontinental ballistic missiles "Topol-M" and ballistic missiles of submarines "Bulava".
