Fire Extinguishing Ball from Thailand: Elide Fire Extinguishing Ball

Few of us have ever used a fire extinguisher. A slightly larger percentage of people theoretically represent how to use it. Most in the event of a fire will read the instructions for its use until the fire inflames. And a large fire area requires a large fire extinguisher, which, due to the need to store the mixture under pressure, is usually very heavy.

Inventor Fanavatnan Kaimart [Phanawatnan Kaimart] in July 1997 experienced a terrible fire at the Royal Jomtien Resort Hotel, which killed more than 100 people. The hotel is located in Thailand, in the area of ​​Pattaya called Jomtien. After such a tragic experience, Kymarth decided to make a device that was simpler and more effective in extinguishing fires than an ordinary fire extinguisher, the great-grandfather of which appeared in the late 19th century. So the inventor and came to the creation of his device called "Elide Fire Extinguishing Ball" ( ball to extinguish the fire Elide ).

Thai startup Elide assures that the ball is safe and will not explode on its own when it falls - high temperatures are necessary for its activation. In addition, it will be able to work as a passive fire extinguishing system, if it is strengthened on a stand in areas of increased fire risk - for example, in the kitchen.

If it is easier to extinguish very small hot spots of fire with improvised means or fire extinguishers, then when fire spreads with a fire extinguisher, it becomes dangerous to approach it. In such cases, the Elide ball can be very useful.
