You may have seen "tests" with just the sprinkler, or the sprinkler, water and a lighter, even a burning rag on a stick, but none show a close up, with a real uncontrolled fire close up, mine does.
Yes, the water flow is not as high as you would find on a commercial sprinkler system.
Before you start whinging, why don't you try to do this, it's not as straightforward as it looks.
Yes, it is low pressure, I made this video in 2013, I used all that I had at the time (Pipe and a hose) no pump. If you want me to do it again (with pump) please buy me several coffees, buymeacoffee.com/bluecylinder if not stop complaining.
Low pressure isn’t really a problem depending on what area the sprinkler needs to cover. The only real issue I saw if you can even consider it an issue is how long it took for the sprinkler to go off, but a smoke detector with fire alarms tied together should get everybody out anyway, many different systems work differently. Thanks for showing the test! 
even with that low pressure that sprinkler still put out the fire. BOOYAH!
Cool, I love in the background that there's a fire truck siren going off, it's a perfect fit

Nice demonstration regardless of pressure. What this does show, is how quickly heat can dissipate without a ceiling to trap it. Heads are required to be installed within a certain distance of the ceiling/roof so that a fire doesn't have that much time to spread. Honestly, I was surprised at how long it took to go off.
The pressure is too low yes for a commercial or industrial design, but is absolutely fine for the demonstration. So, be fore you start whining about "water pressure" shut up. Face it. It's a demonstration. Cool vid btw blue
Excellent capture. Great video!
Fastest FD response ever
This video was just on RTL5, A big dutch commercial tv channel. The program is called 112-ooggetuige. It means 911 eye-witness. Im dutch so sorry for my english. Btw. I Love fire alarms
I said this TWO YEARS AGO, but some of you do not read previous comments, so I will try again.
You can all whinge that the sprinkler is upside down, or that the pressure is too low etc, but I say this to you.
YOU try and make a better video then I did with almost no money to do it.
If some one wants to send me a 240v ac pump / tower to raise water tank, more fittings, pipe work and a water tank then I will gladly make another video. I will even "feature you" in the video. So until then, just enjoy the clip for what it is.
pmailkeey lol
Challenge accepted
pmailkeey It’s an upright sprinkler. There are meant to be upright. That is why the little deflector on the bottom is moved in
Why can't you connect garden hose?
It would be nice to see the real temperature at the nozzle.
What is waterpressure used?
Pretty cool
It does look like an upright head but there are heads that can be used upright or in the pendant position.
The Sound of emergency siren makes it even better
Satisfied
can you get a 5kg co2 fire extinguisher
Since the "experts" can only whinge I will try again.
I made this video way back in 2012 (7 years ago) I had no money to buy a pump or other "parts" I used what I had sitting around (Garden hose and some odd copper pipe) The fire was in an old BBQ just under the sprinkler. I could not have the sprinkler up "The correct way" as the flames would have melted the hose, I could not reposition the sprinkler as I only had a short piece of straight copper pipe. So please stop whining and enjoy the video for what it is, or better still get off your bum and YOU make a video with what you have, and don't buy anything and then see how your video turns out.
Speaking of money, if you want to see it done properly it takes money, you can now put money where your mouth is and support me by buying me a coffee (or more) Please help support this channel, buy a coffee www.buymeacoffee.com/Q9Pj8HRcM
that's amazing
in real life, the water would shoot out ALOT harder then this did.
they seem to take a while to activate, by the time they come on some thing might be ruined but it would probably save lives
Tolles Video zum Thema Sprinkleranlage. Man muss nur Englisch können, um es zu verstehen, aber die Bilder sind klasse.
The water pressure is perfect for a fraction of a second there. Have you ever pickup a garden hose spray then spray with the water turned on then shut off.
Thoda slow tha bhai tumhara sprinkler...
😂😊
,,Can you replace that red glass once it pops? or do you need to replace the whole thing?
no
why is there hardly any watter pressure
You said the sprinkler is upside down. Think about it. If it was the other way up how would it work in this case?
Also the majority of fire sprinklers are like this one, pointing down. Only if they are near a solid / non flammable ceiling do they point up.
Before you whinge "The pressure is too low, or its not real life" To that I say. "Why don't you buy all the parts, set it up and see what happens, no, don't talk about it, just try it, its not as easy as you may think."
I still think it takes quite long for it to work, maybe if someone designed it into a strings that can caught fire easily?
You say you think its slow, and would strings not be better?
1) Strings would rot and break over time
2) If you used wires instead of stings, how would a fire set them off?
3) If wires could work, would they not be easier to set off by some one carrying say a ladder?
4) The first sprinklers used a solder joint to melt, so these glass bulbs are faster, and they are better than nothing at all.
Reio Kimura it took at long time cause there was no ceiling to trap the heat.....
no the water coming out of a real sprinkler system isnt just dripping out its spraying look at what real sprinkler systems look like when they go off they sure as hell dont look like this
Pressure of water must be more than 10 bar
How many mm pipe?
How big do you think it is?
@@bluecylinder if am think my water sprinkler plant system is the fire sprinkler is 21 mm
That’s clearly broken.
wo
This is a Sprinkler up to 😂😂😂
?
If you want to say something like "not enough water" don't bother. All I ask is, why don't you try setting it all up and see what happens.
बहुत लो प्रेशर है
आप कोशिश करें, बिना पैसे के
That's not even city presure (40 psi ) the way fire sprinklers work is by k factor meaning presure, size of water drop and distance of drops this video is a false presentation
The red bulb (fusible link) 155F
Rob Darnell, and any one else who whinges I say this: Read the previous comments FIRST, then if you think you can do better with what you have at home then go for it. Its NOT as easy as you think and when you have almost no money to spend on it its even harder.
I have said it before and last year and 3 years ago, you try and make a better video with NO MONEY for parts, only what a normal house hold has. If some one wants to send me money to buy more parts / pump tank etc please do and I will make a better video.
I have sent you a direct message with an enquiry regarding this footage. If you could respond as soon as possible, it would be much appreciated.
@@CareTutor Due to an error all direct messages have been lost. If I can help please message me again
You say "in real life........." sorry to break this to you, but that video is "real life"
someone put the fire sprinkeler the wrong way that sprinkeler is supost to be up not down
