Default Another fire extiguisher built

Just wanna share my version of Fire extinguisher

I found this bathroom air freshener and its aluminum tank give me an idea of using it for the scale fire extinguisher. On to the built




I found a small wine glass but anything small enough and spherical in shape can be used to cap the upper end of the tank. Then use 1/8 brass tubes or even small straw. But for me since i have this Barbie wine glass I found it perfect for the job. The foot of the wine glass will serve as pressure gauge meter







I used alligator clip for the handles



I used 16 AWG wire for the hose


A brass shim



Worked on the wine glass foot (grind to a smaller dia)



I also use brass shim rolled to a cone and soldered for the spray nozzle
