A rain and fog testing apparatus, comprising a fluid channel that runs between a first fluid shutoff coupler and a second fluid shutoff coupler and has at least one dispersion head fluidly coupled to the fluid channel. A liquid pump can be fluidly coupled to the fluid channel at an output end. A liquid heater may also be fluidly coupled to the system along with a controller that provides electrical control of the first fluid shutoff coupler, the second fluid shutoff coupler, the dispersion head, the liquid pump, and the heater. Further, the second fluid shutoff coupler is capable of fluidly coupling a first fluid channel to a plurality of fluid channels and the controller can adjust the orientation of the first fluid shutoff coupler, the second fluid shutoff coupler, the dispersion head, the liquid pump, and the liquid heater to create a simulation of a plurality of rain or fog events.

The invention relates to foam production equipment comprising:a first module (A) comprising a principal outlet and delivering at said principal outlet a mixture comprising a principal liquid and at least one surfactant,a second module (B) coupled to the principal outlet of the first module (A) and producing a foam which comprises at least the principal liquid, the at least one surfactant and at least one principal active product, from the mixture delivered by the principal outlet of the first module (A), the mixture comprising the at least one principal active product or the second module (B) comprising, in addition, means configured such that the foam produced by the second module (B) comprises the at least one principal active product, characterized in that said at least one principal active product is chosen from dyes, fluorescent products, chemical and/or biological labels, irritant products, gases, products which destroy the muscle and/or thinking capacities of a living being and radar reflectors. The invention also relates to a foam which can be produced by such equipment and which advantageously has an expansion coefficient greater than 10.

A system and method for deployment of a material or desirable product is included. A desirable product can include a combination of a pyrophoric material with a material adapted to be sublimated by pyrophoric effect and produce a desired effect such as, for example, type of dye configured to be an obscurant material with a desired effect after sublimation could be a visual obscurant, electromagnetic obscurant, or some type of pesticide. A system for deploying and storing the material could include a housing configured to seal the combination of dye and pyrophoric materials from the presence of oxygen so that the pyrophoric material does not react until selectively exposed to a gas. A selection and mix of the pyrophoric material with the material, e.g., dye can be accomplished in such a way that the reaction between the pyrophoric material and oxygen is not substantially impeded.

This invention is about the art, science and technology of smoke screening. The three areas of importance are sea, land and air uses. During World War II military strategy was forever changed by the numerous offensive and defensive advantages created by the first ever effective large area smoke screen. Smoke screens were also used extensively during the Vietnam War. In wars since the Vietnam War there have been several military disasterstotally or partiallyfor not using smoke screens, it has been reported. This invention will eliminate leaking tanks, plugged up exhaust nozzles, loose control values, inaccurate gauges and regulators found in earlier and present smoke screen delivery systems. No new technology is required.
