Why don't we use that jet engine powered extinguisher on forest fires? Fire tanks sound pretty cool. The driver and crew could be wetsuited up floating in crazy futuristic cooling gel.

Two guesses: forest fires are not as localized - while the jets could stop small area at a time it would just relight from neighboring areas; heat - the wood would still be hot enough to reignite on its own unlike oil where the hot parts have already burnt.

I wonder if it would work for rounding off the fresh lava flows though, a similar process is used in industrial metalworking to deburr parts with lots of twisty internal passages. https://youtu.be/ySGy_mKaEhI

Blindeye posted:The stilts, even concrete ones, would be damaged by the sustained heat of volcanic lava. You'd lose the foundation after a flow easily, and likely the house above anyway. I meant after the flow. If the ground isn’t suitable for a foundation, drop some pylons and build above it.

today at work we had a guy die. he slipped on a puddle and fell, bracing himself on a wooden plank that knocked over a helium tank. also someones coffee that spilled on him. the nozzle hit an anvil and broke off. the tank went shooting across the floor and bounced off two walls and impaled the guy, dragging him 500ft across the floor and into a furnace which we kept open for ease of access. barely knew him. rip.
