Small flames

can escalate to uncontrollable fires if gone unnoticed.  There

are many extinguishing mechanisms, but there is no mechanism that is

unmanned.

People risk their lives when combating fires. An

automated fire extinguisher would allow people to combat fires while

staying in a safe environment. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Distinguished

Extinguisher

The distinguished

extinguisher is an autonomous fire extinguisher that can detect and

put out fires. Currently it can detect a flame within a 18'' radius.

It extinguishes the flame with Carbon dioxide and is ideal for Class

B fires, fires caused by flammable or combustible liquids, and Class

C fires, fires involving electrical equipment. The device can be

easily modified to use other extinguishing mechanism, such as water

and dry chemicals.The Distinguished Extinguisher is currently

designed to extinguish small flames and can be used to put out

candles. It is a proof-of-concept for a robot that can act entirely

independently with no human interaction—it seeks out a flame (even a

small one), tracks it down, changes its environment (extinguishes),

verifies the flame is out, and then continues to

seek.
