Post by WildBill »

I saw this video and thought I would share.
You can actually buy these for about $40 each.

There's videos of a guy holding one and it going off on purpose. Wouldn't want to do it but he wasn't hurt.
In certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate. In order to shame its inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside the law to pursue a natural justice.

Pretty cool, one major place that reminds of my own safety is I think ALL apartments should have one above the stoves & ovens,, would save a lot of life's & inside the walls (behind Sheetrock) of all apts & houses where the electrical wires are.

The question is, how can I buy one (or two or three)? Their website is in German.

It appears from their website that they are trying to find distributors for the US.

There is a similar product available on Amazon called ICEKEY Fire Extinguisher Ball Auto Fire Off.
They are available for purchase.

I'm not affiliated in anyway and I had the same thought as you - I'm interested in purchasing some
I was a bit concerned that they would pass muster in the USA, given all of our restrictions. My vivid imagination had a concern that someone would think that it was a b...o...m...b.

But here is the link for US marketing. Unfortunately, it only provides a phone number

There are other similar products out there. Our fire department has talked about getting some, but we kind of let it drift...may have to rekindle (heh) that conversation. Looks pretty good for a small, relatively contained fire. I wonder how big a room/fire one of two of these could handle..hmmm.
