Abstract:
A method of extinguishing forest fires has the steps of providing an aqueous fire extinguishing medium, introducing en aqueous medium into a fire, introducing into the aqueous medium an agent generating a steam or gas, and applying a steam/gas-water mixture in a region located on a border of a propagating flame area and a burnt out area, as well as on the frontmost part of the burnt out area, so that the mixture is displaced by wind onto a flame to extinguish the same.
Abstract:
A seismic sensor, comprising a case, a pre-charged, non-conductive membrane located between two plates that form a capacitor and accommodated inside the case, with one of the plates being immovable relative to the case and the other of the plates being movable relative to the one plate under the action of seismic activity so that the capacitor produces an electrical signal responsive to the seismic activity of a medium in which the sensor is located, and a mass increasing element associated with the movable plate so as to increase mass of the movable plate and therefore to enhance oscillations of the movable plate under the action of the seismic activity, the mass increasing element being formed as a further case which is connected to the movable plate and is located in condition of equilibrium in an inoperative position of the sensor.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling light and temperature necessary for the optimum growth of vegetables and plants for backyard gardeners. This is achieved by using a photo-transforming membrane supported by a light-weight, luminescent, portable and easily-assembled without tools frame. The components of the apparatus can be efficiently and compactly packaged, suitable for mass distribution. The membrane has photo-transforming qualities which transform UV-light into a bandwith of light that promotes photosynthesis. This, in turn, enhances crop growth and increases internal ambient temperature.
