SINNOVA, a research and production company in Dubna, has developed an automatic fire suppression device weighing 0.76 grams. According to RURECORD’s expert commission, the device developed by Russian engineer Oleg Antipov set a world record in the category “World’s Smallest Automatic Fire Extinguisher.” The press service of the Moscow Region Ministry of Investment, Industry and Science announced the achievement, citing the company.
The device is designed to protect small enclosed spaces, including electrical outlets, power strips, and junction and switching boxes. It activates automatically when the temperature reaches about 175°C.
A heat-sensitive element is at the core of the system. When critically heated, it triggers a micro-charge that releases a mixture of inert gases and fine aerosol particles to suppress combustion in the protected space.
