A fire-fighting device, the fire wand uses a focused electrical field to push, bend and snuff out flames. The wand creates a field of around 1,000,000 volts per metre, which disconnects flame from the heat and fuel at its base, thus snuffing the flames.
The fire wand is a rod, around 300mm long, which is connected to a power pack, via a heavy duty cable. Different-sized power-packs are used; shipboard or domestic models use a small belt-mounted pack, around 200mm high, 150mm wide and 100mm thick and weighing 1kg, while the larger models used by fire-fighters feature a large backpack-mounted pack, around 600mm high, 250mm wide and 100mm thick and weighing 4kg. The smaller models give 1 hour of use, larger models give 6 hours of use.
