UAV Fire Extinguisher

Mechanical Engineering

The ignition of certain materials that combust to create a fire is something that most of the times occurs without being wanted. The damages that a fire causes are proportional to the size of the fire. Sometimes, nothing happens to property and living beings, but other times, the emotional and economic losses are too great to afford to keep having fires that are difficult to control, and eventually extinguish. For that reason, the intention of this design project is to improve the ways in which fires are prevented and extinguished. UAVs are apparatuses that have become popular in recent years thanks to not only their many capabilities to program, but also that a human being does not need to be on board in order to control it. Hence, this team decided to use them in an innovative and inventive manner to create a mechanism to release a fire extinguishing grenade in the desired location that will prevent fires or directly extinguish them.
