ESD Air Hose, with Standard Fitting

Arduino UNO

This project is a wild-land fire cannon. And non-autonimous fire buggy, swamp buggy, with land fire rigs and fire trucks. I am a fireman I am also a nomad firefighter. I am basically in a LOVE/HATE relationship with youtube. Its a great platform for these types of projects. But I am defecting to VIMEO. Which I have several of the videos on these vehicles being build. Its function is to operate by detecting fire temperatures over a set number. This will trigger a high pressure water cannon to deploy. Moderated spurts of foam. The controls need to be both autonomous and manual. Inside the cockpit is a joystick. Also attached to the fire cannon is a camera. This view can be seen inside the cockpit on an ipad screen. The cannon is on a turret style mount. Its a cannon like on a tank. Up down left right. Up Up down Down BA select start. This is the actual mechanical part if I could break this down. 1. Air supply. Simple 12v bicycle pump. Under 200psi max. a. This will serve the pneumatic hydraulic arms to steer the cannon. Also controlled by a 12v solenoid. Thermo infared camera guidance system. Come on! This is old 1980 jet missile tech from Lockheed Martin. Its even older tech than that, (they could care less about forest fires) and the tech can be emulated. If the camera detects the heat signature it can set off the solenoids. The vales open up and pin point the fire. Thus extinguishing it. I will reference this link for a tool used for weapons. No worries this isnt classified info its made public since 2002. file:///C:/Users/52427/AppData/Local/Temp/techlib-noauth.pdf Air power the train horn that will be installed with 12v solenoid and horn button. A second mini sound card will be installed with R2D2 sounds. Connected to a button like a horn inside the cab. We can add as many sound effects we want. However Star Wars. <figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/b6e53185-c209-4dbd-bbc9-34fde7133a91.jpeg /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure>As you can see no guidance system. Its completely bare of tech. It is 100 percent analog. So eventually we will electrify this Truck. If anyone knows Rich from Rich rebuilds Youtube channel. Let em know what were doing. He has not responded from the electrified garage website contact form. And since I personally am not on social media it would be nice if you could tell him Lance Thrower NEEDS Riches advice. Lets get into that at another time.
