To protect homes from wildfire, a sprinkler system that
delivers a fine mist over a wide area, using as little water as
possible.
Micro drip irrigation parts (tubing and tiny rotary sprayers) are
perfect, expect for being made of thin plastic which would be
readily demolished by fire unless
they are actually in operation.
So, mini rotary sprinklers made of metal, compatible metal
tubing, and all the ancillary parts (manifolds, connectors,
valves...) that one would expect from such a system.
This strays dangerously close to something I might actually
do, so please forgive me for posting it here, as I forgive myself.

Fighting large fires with just water doesn't work particularly
well, unless you have huge amounts of water. Various "mud"
type liquids are available, and aqueous gels work well too
(see linky for a different use...). Unfortunately, such things
don't work so well with narrow-bore piping and spray
nozzles. |
