C17 hangar foam dump

[plrokster309]

We need one of those in our shower, only it is a concentrated shower cleaner, and it leaves behind no mess... it just vaporizes :)

Pretty sure this video would have been a million times better if the frame rate would actually exceed 5 fps.

Why do they do this?>

[AidanL5784]

@eternalstarsurfer I'm going to assume it's for a fire, but i'm not sure

The scrubbing bubbles do the work for you.

time to swim!

[FFHouseman]

how much did that text cost?

[paul9511]

@FFHouseman 1, the activation of the system. Very easy and free :-)

2, the cleaning up, the most expensive, and 3, call a certified sprinkler company, to make it refill the foam tank (10-100 gallons).

The total bill is verrrrrrrrrry salted

@paul9511 foam expands at 750:1 , so it is mostly just air. If it is left to sit overnight, almost nothing will be left the following morning. The atmospheric pressure will destroy the foam and leave just a film.

I wonder if it can be recovered back into tanks to be reused.

I recently visited Elmendorf, nice base, great mountain views, great food.

[deathcommulticom]

would you be able to walk through that?

[fruhdaddy]

is this at Elmendorf?? And is that the new C17 hanger?

[valleyfirearms]

yep

[KFCOrBust]

Holy shit! Where the hell is all that foam stored? It's not stored as foam is it?

[valleyfirearms]

No, it's an concentrated agent stored in a tank. It mixes with water to make the foam.

[paul9511]

@valleyfirearms what is the water source ? Is it clean water ?

thanks !

Haha pretty damn cool, now only if a large dico ball came down and music started playing.
