Ember Generator for Forest Fire Testing

Ember Generator for Forest Fire Testing

Ember Generator for Forest Fire Testing

Our project consists of designing and building a system that will be used by the University of Idaho CNR for forest fire testing and research. The prototype will emit a steady stream of embers for a minimum of 15 minutes with the goal of testing how common building materials hold up to wildfires. The small scale testing this project provides will give valuable information on how wildfires behave and interact with urban areas.
