its good but its a bit too slow, a fire can grow to twice its size in just 10 seconds what you need is some thin g that you can put on a wall to cover the whole room with antifire powder. or just make sure you put the match out in the firstplace.

[grobenn25]

@superscotman yes it's too slow, I kwow. The reason is that I pulled the model with a wire, so I actually couldn't properly control it... ^^'

I tried to accelerate the speed of the video, but I could't have something natural...

the real one will be about 2 or 3 times this speed.

[grobenn25]

@superscotman the speed will be approx 8cm/s for the slowest, to approx 50cm/s for the fastest speed.

(Actually I am building the first prototype in Japan now.)

best of luck tomorrow great concept.

[grobenn25]

thank you very much!

[grobenn25]

@vacuum321 Thank you!

actually I am in Japan now, in order to make the first working prototype!

I hope to start a mass production soon.

[sylvainraillard]

Tout simplement génial ! Bravo !

0:05 rofl xD man you...

the problem about is, that i think, Fine needs a thermal detector, which means, that if he has no thermal detector, but he has an alart, about fire in his house, he need to extinguish whole room? I think , you need FINE detectors in each rooms, and when the fire is going to be in number 1 (ex.) , the fine will come there, and just detect hot place - fire, then he extinguishes it...?

@321098aj Our fire alarm has a "push to hush" button. See if you can install something like that in your kitchen. (My mum also likes to cook, so ours goes off constantly as well)

[321098aj]

one thing, for example, my dad likes to cook , ALOT. so for say he accidently sets of the fire alarm? oh also how did you get it to see the fire? heat seeking?

[scotman1410]

@grobenn25 hmmm its posted my comment twice lol

[jsngeorge423]

Fantastic Idea, I really like what you've developed. My concerns would be the speed, I think its probably better to have multiple (static) units throughout the house. How much would a product like this cost? Is it commercially viable?

On a joking note, have you ever triggered a smoke detector whilst frying breakfast? I just have visions of me cooking breakfast, triggering the alarm and that being attacked by a robot.

Well done, keep up the good work.

[superscotman]

@grobenn25 Thats great i'll get one, i nearly lost my house not to long ago when a faulty socket melted, i got in just as i cought light! once i had it out it hit me just how close it was and how deadly fire realy is. Hope to see it out soon!
