Home” Drones” Drones and Other Technology versus Large Fires Like the LA Fires
I, Brian Wang, talked with Randy Kirk about his concept for utilizing 10s of countless drones or other innovation to combat big city and forest fires.
Here is a service that wasn't possible even a couple of years back. 10,000 Drones specifically constructed for disposing water or chemicals might supply frustrating fire suppression quickly and stop the fires before they enter fire storm levels. pic.twitter.com/Plhs1aUjBM

There have actually been drones made and utilized to eliminate fires. They are utilized in New York and in China.
There are brand-new much heavier lift drones that might be utilized to transfer big amounts of water.
What was it like reacting to the other day's crane fire and collapse? Take take a look at the video footage from #FDNY Robotics Unit drones. The drones were an essential part of an operation that had the FDNY putting out the fire, leaving occupants, and evaluating structural damage. pic.twitter.com/LncodGz7mg

Robotic Arms and Robotic Systems Can Be Placed Into Seats of Any Plane and Fly Them
737 aircrafts and military airplanes have actually been flown with robotics in the pilot seat.
This indicates any of the numerous set wing fire combating aircrafts can be transformed to drone operations to put 800-20,000 gallons of water with each load.
The CL-415 costs about $39 million and can put 1600 gallons of water onto fires with each load.
The heavy lift drones in the $250k- $2M variety can put 50-200 gallons of water onto targets. 1750 pounds has to do with 200 gallons.
Forty $500K drones able to put 100 gallons loads would suggest $20 million for 4000 gallons of water.
