A fire extinguisher is needed in every home. This phrase may seem to some pointless and non-Russian, but the practice of fires shows that if this rule is observed, a considerable number of fires, including those that are fatal, can be avoided. A fire extinguisher, of course, can be purchased in specialized stores, but even a small home fire extinguisher can not afford many of us. Therefore, you need to look for alternative methods, namely, a method of manufacturing a fire extinguisher in home conditions that we will try right now.
First, we suggest watching a video of a homemade fire extinguisher:
Now let's move on to the manufacturing process. To do this, we need the following tools and ingredients:
- Plastic bottle;
- A dropper;
- A syringe;
- scissors;
- Soda;
- Vinegar.
First of all, we take our dropper, from which we need the middle hose and cylinder. Everything else, or in this case the excess, should be cut off.
Next, take a plastic bottle. We make a small hole in the bottle cap. The hole must be made under the diameter of the syringe.
When the hole is ready, insert the syringe. However, before that we take out the piston of the syringe and cut off the holders.
Finally, insert the syringe into the cork and fix it with hot glue, which will also provide insulation.
Next, connect the hose from the dropper to the tip of the syringe. From a structural point of view, our fire extinguisher is ready. It remains to take care of its filling.
To do this, take vinegar and pour it into a bottle.
Next, take soda, pour it on a paper towel and wrap it so that the chemical reaction does not start before we close the lid.
Before you lower the napkin with soda into the bottle, you must also make sure that the regulating part is completely closed.
Immerse a napkin with soda in vinegar and quickly twist the cork from the bottle. A chemical reaction will soon begin, as evidenced by the gradual hardening of the bottle. Thanks to this chemical reaction, we get CO2 gas, which, as you know, does not burn and can extinguish a fire.
It should be noted that the author of the video uses a half liter bottle.If desired, you can use a larger bottle, as well as slightly upgrade the design of our fire extinguisher, using your own imagination and preferences.
