Basics
- Essentially a scaled down version of a thermal bursting valve fire supression system (Residential Fire Sprinklers Etc)
- Comes in Two Main Forms:
- A Pipe filled with the extinguishing agent that burts at flame temperature
- A Standard Burst Valve with a hose and tank
- Expecially useful for small machines such as 3D Printers (To Prevent 3D Printer Thermal Runaway Fires and Battery Banks (to prevent Lithium Battery Fires )
- Allows safe remote use of these types of devices without the risk of fire

DIY
- You loose the whole "Guarenteed to Work" aspect, but if done right, and destructivly tested many times before use, should work
Componets
Sprinklers
- Certified Sprinkler Head ~13 USD Each'
- Get the job done, but water may damage stuff (better than fire damage i guess)
- Scales Well, a pipe could supply a Print Farm for much cheaper than individual units for each of the many printers (perhaps 100 or more)
