IMAGINE if YOU felt ABLE to make YOUR OWN catapult or trebuchet and JOINED WITH HUNDREDS OF OTHERS in DEFENDING YOUR TOWN from wildfire!!!!

The author of the following excerpted text has a very serious approach that he would like to see passed around widely, i'm sure!! (we are not affiliated with him)

"It is proposed that in addition to the current method of fighting wildfires that are based on firefighters on the ground, and airdrops, there is the need for a supplemental approach based on using catapults to hurl containers of water at the fires. This additional source of water would serve to extinguish wildfires more rapidly, and thereby reduce the devastation and loss of life they cause, and also reduce the huge amounts of CO2 they pour into the atmosphere that contributes significantly to global warming. Importantly, the use of catapults would result in much greater safety for firefighters on the ground, as well as those serving in the air.

"This observation led to the recognition that there is something missing in our present method of fighting wildfires: the artillery! This in turn suggested that perhaps one can improve the present method by introducing equipment that could play the role of artillery..." --Frank R. Tangherlini in his article, "A New Method of Fighting Wildfires", published on a scientific website (see link).

The article is a good, long, informative piece! Including even some mathematical discussion of means and ways!

Other ideas might include WATER MINES that explode due to intense heat only. What can YOU think of?!!? (a nuclear water bomb??) The more the merrier, i say!!

Looking around a little, i came upon the use of a home-made metal Trebuchet that showed, in a video, the process of one inventor as he tries to throw larger and larger objects! Take a look at this somewhat hilarious action:

What kind of container might they use (that cuts down on pollution) to contain the water? So that it works more as a sort of bomb, instead of just a bunch of wimpy spray? Such questions to be discovered!
