Abstract

A geometric model of a new method of delivering extinguishing agents to the fire zone is proposed. The delivery idea is based on a mechanical throwing operation. For this, the substance is placed in a hard shell - a special container. After being delivered to the fire site by means of the launching device, the container must collapse and release a substance that will contribute to extinguishing the fire. New in the proposed method of delivery is the use of two weights spaced at a certain distance, connected by a rod. This modernization made it possible to abandon the traditional cylindrical containers and the use of air guns as launching devices. After all, the disadvantage of the "cannon" fire extinguishing technology lies in the difficulty of imparting axial rotation to the cylindrical container to ensure the stability of its movement. In the proposed method of delivery, the initiation of the movement of the dumbbell-container is carried out using a special launching device. It provides the simultaneous action of two explosive impulses directed at the centers of mass of each dumbbell weight in a pre-calculated manner. As a result of the start, the dumbbell acquires a rotational-translational movement in the vertical plane. To describe the dynamics of the dumbbell movement, a Lagrangian was determined, and a system of Lagrange differential equations of the second kind was compiled and solved. Examples of modeling the trajectories of the centers of mass of the dumbbell weights in the vertical plane are given. The main advantages of the new method include the possibility of separate delivery of extinguishing agents to the fire zone. Since there are substances for which the fire extinguishing effect is significantly increased as a result of their mixing directly in the combustion zone. Therefore, it is advisable to use the proposed delivery method as the basis for a new fire extinguishing technology
