TheSenik fire extinguisher proposes more efficiency in emergencies
Designed by Indian product designer Sailee Adhao, this alternative concept for fire extinguishers cuts down the thinking time needed during a fire by dramatically simplifying the process. With a sleek body and a glaring yellow button on its side, the Sinek extinguisher relies only on a strong blow to the lock to activate it.
It works by keeping the contents at high pressure so that when the yellow button is struck, the seal on the inside is shattered and the ingredients begin to mix. This happens in the short time it takes to grab hold of the device and aim it at the fire, and is helped further by the downward sloping body that clicks into place once the button pops out after being struck. The contents then continue to spray until empty.
With its only major drawbacks being the cost of manufacture and upkeep, as well as the inability to turn off the flow once its going, the design is certainly a more elegant solution that what we have now. I think it could really take off.
