Water injection in turbine outlet for fire suppression by Willimczik

Hungarian engineers build my idea of a water injected jet turbine for fire suppression and proved its potential distinguishing difficult oil-fires after the gulf war.
There is no handling of dynamite any more.
This would be also a good fire-fighting tool for wild fires in America!

Text in the video: "The Hungarians replaced the turret from an old Russian tank with 2 turbines from a Mig 21. Water is injected in the exhaust, they throttle up and distinguish the fire."

Feuerlöschturbine mit Wassereinspritzung nach Willimczik (Turbolöscher)
Meine Idee von 1959 -- aus einem Mig. 19 Triebwerk etwas Nützliches zu machen zeigten die Ungarn erstmals der Weltöffentlichkeit, als sie nach dem Golfkrieg damit schwierige Ölfeuer löschten. Wasser wird in den Abgasstrahl eines Gastriebwerkes eingespritzt. Es wird zerstäubt und über große Entfernungen bis zum Brandherd transportiert. Es hat sich als die beste Feuerlöschtechnologie erwiesen.

they used this thing to put out oil well fires in the desert . they managed to put out only a hand full of fires when other companies put out five times as many. the other companies used bombs to blow out the fires and sand and water to plug up the wells .

[InventorWillimczik]

Yes, the reason was they came very late and could not show their full potential any more.

Considering it realistically this method is cheaper and faster with less danger. It prevents also a re-igniting, what may happen with dynamite, because it works over a longer time and over a greater area than an explosion.

That's a very cool idea! Are there many built, or just this one.

[InventorWillimczik]

Nobody know how many are build.

What is very sad. Just now California is burning again and there are non. Ask your officials or FEMA etc why not.

Enough old tanks and turbines are in the US. Nothing would be easier than put them together...

[Malaka57]

Bingo... and as a journalist with good connections in Hungary at the time, I tried to do a story on this, but the American press was swamped with Red Adair, whose process is slower, more expensive and far more dangerous. The US media were -- and still are -- completely uninterested in the world at large, hence the distorted view that many Americans have of the rest of the world... But that's another story:-)

Cool, Great Idea hungarians. They are also responsible for the invention of the Hungarian cannon.

@BullseyeHun maybe when one eats too much bableves???

@Malaka57 1896 Erdbeben Sanriku Tsunami in Japan womöglich kann als die zu den tödlichsten der hergestellten elektromagnetischen Nikola Teslas seismische Ereignisse werden. Diese Katastrophe, dass Tesla machte einen großen Eindruck auf Japans Geschichte gelassen. Während eines Festivals am 15. Juni 1896, ein Erdbeben vor der Küste von Sanriku, geschätzte Japan auf 8,5 Größenordnung auf der Richer-Skala werden

[EternalHeavy]

The guy who built this is a genius!

[MightyMagyarz]

@flight110 Just saw a documentary in the TV about this wonderful machine: In th 70's we installed a single turbine to two trucks (1 each), but it was not efficient anymore in the 80's (gas came from deeper at our wells -> higher pressure, bigger fires) so they designed and built the Big Wind. After the Gulf war "show" many were interested but only Lybia ordered 1 (noone knows where it is now). This one is still in service in Hungary.

@delapeyre

I guess that was used to deice the runways. The novel thing here is the use as a fire extuinguisher.

@vanwahlgren

What is the Hungarian cannon? I'm hungarian and never heard of it...

[flamingxombie]

What's the diameter of the droplets produced by the way? Do you measure them?
