Torsten Gerwig | Unleashing Jet Engines to Fight Fires, Floods & Disasters

DICOSI CEO Torsten Gerwig details the incredible power of the Turbo Hydrojet system, which uses repurposed civilian jet engines to create a massive water mist capable of extinguishing industrial fires, ventilating tunnels, and battling wildfires from a safe distance. Learn about the German engineering behind this unique technology, its evolution from chemical plants to disaster zones, and the development of new tracked and robotic platforms that are changing the game in large-scale disaster control.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

• The Turbo Hydrojet: How jet engines create a 120-meter long, 80-meter high cloud of precisely-sized water droplets.
• From Military to Civil: The engineering required to convert retired aircraft engines to run on diesel for firefighting.
• A Force Multiplier: How one operator with a remote control can do the work of a large team.
• Proven Use Cases: Success stories in industrial fires, tunnel emergencies, and wildfires in Europe.
• The Science of Mist: Why droplet size is key to cooling structures and scrubbing contaminants from the air.
• The DICOSI Product Line: From massive truck-mounted jets to new robotic units that can climb stairs into buildings.
• The Xtreme V: A look at the new tracked, amphibious vehicle designed for extreme disaster environments.
• The Business of Disaster Tech: DICOSI's journey through COVID and their plans for entering the US market.
