Abstract
Background Development of a fundamentally new method of preventing and fighting fires is of current concern. It should be noted that by now no universal method is found to fight fires of different categories. Aims and Objectives Study of the impact of high-intensity electromagnetic field on flame. Methods A developed experimental unit consists of a high voltage generator with special electrodes, and a source of burning between them. Electromagnetic field generated between the electrodes affects the flame of the source of burning. A series of experiments was conducted with variation of parameters the shape of the electrodes, the voltage and the distance between the electrodes, the current strength, and flame resistance. Conclusion It was determined that the flame placed in a high intensity electromagnetic field (over 1 kV) extinguishes. Before the point of extinguishing, the flame deviates toward the negative electrode. Results of the study can serve the basis for new experiments, where a full-scale site of ignition may be used instead of the flame of the source of burning. An experimental electric fire extinguisher can be designed on the basis of results of conducted tests.
