@@joen8091 DYOFR AFFF are synthetic PFAS-containing foams designed for flammable liquid fires, also called Class B fires. The PFAS serve as surfactants that spread the foam to cool and suppress the fire. While they are extremely effective, they are also a major source of PFAS pollution in California and around the world.
Jeff your ingenuity is incredible! It is comforting to know that one of my classmates from Massachusetts has the solution to saving my house here in Ventura County, in which we had to evacuate twice due to fire danger! Paul Morin, MD
Thing is, this hydrogel type technology isn't exactly novel. There's videos here on UA-cam showing its effectiveness as a fire barrier at least a decade ago. Fire departments move slowly, indeed. Will we have to wait another decade before we lose another entire town to wildfire again?
Prescribed burns may deplete fuel load but the also further dehydrate landscapes and kill off soil biology. The only holistic solution to fuel reduction is by planned animal grazing, or mechanical mulching in no-graze environments.
Such story, Strong As Jeff. lets help humanity by letting them know how to build this env friendly substance (Planet Earth Is the creator of existence)
im not a hater, i def think this dude made a good product and everything. but i cant help thinking that we arnt suppose to destroy the natural land so much, as in we deface the earth with so many structures, roads, and fields etc. The fires are natural and healthy for the land, and the reason the fires keep growing in intensity is because we keep putting the fires out and not letting anything burn like it needs to. (i will check out your next vid about controlled burns prob) we def need to find a way to live 'with' the earth and not against it. so, as sad as it seems on the surface, the earth is just trying to clean the landscape of the virality that is humanity :D , i guess my point is you really cant be mad at the earth for trying to burn us off like a fever. i imagine the future of firefighting switching to 100% preventative work, like only needing fire Marshals since we hopefully would no longer need to actually 'fight' the earth and its fires. the fires are only perceived bad because we killed 90% of the wildlife and the last remaining wildlife has such a small area that they cant run or survive elsewhere, and we would rather keep our house than let earth do a natural cleaning. idk if im just delirious from lack of sleep, or if there really is a whole books worth i could write XD
First off, i absolutely respect this idea and wish it was around 22 years ago. Its going to help! Chew on this. However awesome strong water may actually be, however cheap or however expensive, it still does not compare to those who believe they are in power, who give the go-ahead to prescribe setting of forest on fire during the driest time of the year. The u.s. forest service, the BLM and every other branch of government that wants to get involved in telling people how to run the forest, have members within their associations that have committed suicide for doing such stupid Behavior. Have caused a lot of lost lives because of this stupid Behavior. Have destroyed many millions of acres in a very very incorrect way, negating any kind of management skills, apparently possessed by such highly educated criminals. Smart water does not hold a match to the stupidity of the top agencies involved in fighting fire in this nation, regardless of the innovation.. only you can prevent U.S. Forestry bears from starting fires where they shouldn't. Management without a doubt means giving the people permission again to go back out into the forest AS WE PLEASE! Ambassadorship only grows a bond with those exposed to the nature we are attached to. WE need to fix it. Its much simpler and pleasing than anyone believes. This govt as its going, is trying to crash on purpose. When we take it back, this is one of the first tasks scheduled for care.
Amazing! But this is still just a bandage on the climate emergency. If we do not address the climate crisis things like this will not stop accelerating in frequency and intensity!
For sure. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And there are a host of other negative effects of climate change that need to be addressed as well--but we are inspired by people who aren't waiting around to make whatever positive change they can.
What do you think the future of firefighting will be?
Drones... robots... automation.
Drones. Mass drones. Could also be that thing they do to the Sky to make it rain.

As soon as i saw the thumbnail, I came straight to the comments.
same
And then you all came too
@@635574 I see what u did there 😏
Oh so when you saw the thumbnail you saw that come in handy?
they know exactly what they're doing with the thumbnail
???
non-toxic! great compared to the foam containing pfas used in industrial setting
For sure. It would be great not to have to contaminate land in order to save an area from fire.
That thumbnail is too nutty for me.

Biodegradable is the most important property that he talked about. If nature is able to assimilate it, it's great.
Yes! A bit of a pyrrhic victory if you stop a fire but contaminate the earth that you save.
They knew exactly what they were doing with this thumb nail 😂
Non-toxic is what they said the fire fighting foam is, but the byproducts creates PFAS that are very carcinogenic

What are the long term implications of spraying white goo on large areas of the forest?
"Single-handedly;" Well done!
I bet he makes that slime single handedly too 😂
the fact that he is single handed and that this 'slime' is produced single handedly
love this! inspirational dude!

The preventive potential is so amazing
Great video - inspirational guy - good idea.
I think next in the series should probably be a discussion on radical solutions to stop climate change. Feks dismantling the plastic industry.
some ppl are thinking dirty right now
This guy is EPIC!
Spraying slime from a firehose? Where do I sign!
Single-handedly is crazy
That's some next level glizzy
Imagine, science is being used to fight fires!
Yup! There's a lot of cool ways we are using science to fight fire: ua-cam.com/video/iIp6fpu0azY/v-deo.html
Yo if my house is on fire and this all they got, let it burn. Let it burn.
omg the comments 😭 💀

Gotta change the color to many…wild thoughts
Has this same guy trying to sell this for 10-15 + years?
I can create all-natural fireproof slime easily! Just like the thumbnail.
That's great! Everyone can chip in, we need loads
Thumbnail is sus.
Send this video to Rfk Jr someone.

wow, no PFAS.
I swear this can't be used just because of how it looks
Colour it differently and I may change my mind

i think the correct term is fire disabled.

Its not “strong” water. Its a hydrophilic gel. Name the chemistry FFS.
Just don't let the contracts go to the lowest bidder eh?
