삼성, '던지는' 소화기 꽃병 개발 소화기 꽃병을 작동시키려면 던지기만 하면 된다. 화염병을 시연하는 영상에서, 꽃병을 화염에 직접 던지면 화재 진압제인 탄산칼륨을 방출되며 수 초만에 유리와 물의 안개 속에서 불이 꺼지는 것을 보여준다. 삼성에 따르면, 꽃병 소화기는 옷장 등 다른 접근하기 어려운 장소들에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 현재 한국에서 사용되고 있다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator |

While Samsung may recently be more famous for creating fires (exploding phones, anyone?) one of the company's newer inventions is looking to put them out.
At first glance, the Firevase, as the company has aptly dubbed the device, looks just like any other -- a translucent red tube of PVC with a hollow center compartment to house flowers or other plants.
What separates the vase from other decorative containers according to Samsung, is its ability to save lives.
In the throwable PVC vase's outer chamber is a fire-killing mixture of potassium carbonate that is able to both cool and compress oxygen upon impact.
With a new product by Samsung, extinguishing a fire just got a lot more stylish -- if your aim is up to par, that is
To activate the extinguisher/vase one need only follow a simple task: point and throw.
In a video demonstrating the Firevase, wielders are shown hurling the eye-pleasing vase directly at a blaze and then, in a mist of glass and water, the fire is extinguished.
According to Samsung, the Firevase looks to tackle issues with more traditional metal extinguishers that has relegated many to closets and other inaccessible locations: aesthetics.
By making the life-safety device more appealing to the eye, the company hopes that people will be more likely to leave the vase in a convenient location -- this benefit, they hope, could mean the difference between between catastrophe and close-call.
