"Oh help, one of those giant robot thingies is advancing on us. Run, before it electrocutes us with that giant capacitor!" |

Oh, dear... You should know that the intense heat of forest fires could easily bring the unburned portions into their flash point, such that it would spread fast, faster than the human sprinter. Do you mean you can device a tank that can slither fast in the rugged terrain? It will lose enormous energy too by moving fast just to capture the ever-advancing source of intense heat. |

Could we fix it so that the tank was just a base unit for a fire-proof kite, which (the kite) would be over the fire, not beside it, and would use convection currents to keep its distance from the fire itself? With a long enough string, the tank itself might not have to get too close to the danger. It could also pack a small windmill on the side away from the fire, so as to harness the ground-level air currents which can (I'm told) be found rushing towards the fire. |
