PROJECT TOPICSecurity, Defense & Emergency Response
Firefighting Monitor Ground Rover
A thermal protection and fluid power concept examining stainless-steel heat shields, chassis water deluge nozzles, and motorized joystick-controlled water cannons to suppress petrochemical fires.
High-Heat Heavy Water Suppression Delivery
- ✓Delivers 2000 liters per minute of water or foam directly into thermal hotspots.
- ✓Survives radiant heat over 300°C using an automated chassis-spraying water-curtain shield.
- ✓Controls nozzle elevation, sweep angle, and stream-to-fog pattern from 300 meters away.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Petrochemical and battery warehouse fires produce catastrophic radiant heat and toxic fumes that prevent human firefighters from getting close.
