X Sting Wish Modern Fire Extinguisher Design Concept [Doom Weaponry Styled Fire Extinguisher]

Posted October 2nd 2008

x-sting-wish-modern-fire-extinguisher-design-concept

It doesn’t matter how I look at Adam Scott’s rather sci-fi styled X Sting Wish Commercial Fire Extinguisher concept, there’s just something about it that puts me in mind of Doom weaponry and, let’s be honest here, when you consider the somewhat humdrum nature of fire extinguisher design in general, that’s no bad thing (indeed, we consider that quite an accolade).

As if putting out a fire is not heroic enough, putting out a blaze with Adam Scott’s X Sting Wish Commercial Fire Extinguisher would doubtless be one of those few occasions when you would just feel too cool for words though, switching across to the Aliens series of films briefly, I don’t doubt that, following the extinguishing of the flames you’d also feel compelled to go from room to room with view to flushing out those stray face-huggers…but, let’s not get carried away here.

The X Sting Wish concept, apart from simply begging to be realised as a commercial product, is envisaged as being offered in three distinct versions – namely CO2, Powder and H2O – allowing the X Sting Wish to be used on a variety of fire types (from paper fires to electrical, and so on) and the addition of LEDs that serve to light your path once the ‘dual trigger’ is activated is, as far as we are concerned, just the icing on the cake.

Of course, let’s not forget that, should the X Sting Wish ever see it into production the device will doubtless help save lives (as opposed to dispatching face-huggers) and, all said and done, somewhat childish comparisons with FPS games and Hollywood blockbusters aside, we think its design verges on sheer magnificence.

Aim and shoot with X Sting Wish ergonomical fire extinguisher | Wisconsin Designer | October 3rd, 2008 at 12:49 pm

[...] Insight: I thank God that till date I haven’t come across a situation where I need to grab the red cylinder to douse an accidental fire in emergency. Gosh, I wouldn’t be able to trust my nervous hands to firmly hold that slightly bulky extinguisher. Also understanding and following those instructive illustrations on the red body in the moment of crisis will be difficult. But Adam Scott is here to douse out all the discomfort associated with the traditional fire extinguishers with his X Sting Wish. Sporting a simple, fuss-free form, the X Sting Wish couldn’t have got more user-friendly. Just like a gun, aim and pull the trigger. Tweaked with many firing dousing options like CO², water and powder, it also features in-built LEDs that can help to illuminate your way to the problem area. Design Status: X Sting Wish is a concept that should hit the production stage as soon as possible. Usability: A must have for every household, office and other public spaces, this uber convenient weapon to put out fire has been designed in the most ergonomical shape. Putting this X Sting Wish to use is almost like a child’s play. People of any age group (may be not for small kids) and from any walk of life can understand the basic function of aim and shoot. Though not meant for wild fires like the ones that have spread to the ceiling too, this nifty and compact fire-fighting weapon seems to have a promising future when it comes to tackle less intensive fires. That is if it makes it to the manufacturing unit soon. Via: Nexus [...]
