Un estintore.Originariamente Scritto da mattiacre
Using a gas turbine to blast a fine mist of water at the base of the fire. Water is injected behind the exhaust of the turbine in large quantities. This proved popular with tackling stubborn fires in the Kuwait oil fires(1991) and was brought to the region by Hungarians equipped with MiG 21 engines mounted on a tank, either a T34 or T62.[4][5][6] Based on a Russian idea, the Hungarian vehicle, named "Big Wind", was influenced by a similar concept used in Soviet times for extinguishing blown out gas- and oil-well fires and clearing snow off airfields by using a single MiG-15 jet engine bolted onto the bed of a truck. However, in this incarnation, it wasn't always powerful enough to defeat large fires, although it was also brought to and used in Kuwait,[7][8] to tackle more resilient fires therefore MB drilling company constructed "Big Wind" with two more powerful jet engines fixed to the more stable chassis of a tank.[5] The IMAX documentary Fires of Kuwait follows the numerous companies, and their methods, employed with the task of extinguishing the fires, with footage of the Hungarian "Big Wind" in action contained in the film.
