Patent ID: 8893814

Claim:
A system for protecting a roof-containing structure from fire embers comprising: a) at least two fluid containers each comprising a first, second, third and fourth aperture, and a water level float sensor suspended from a surface within each said at least two fluid containers, which fourth aperture is coupled to a pressure relief valve, and which second aperture is connected to a first lumen-containing conveyance configured to be in one-way fluid communication with a water supply separate from said at least two fluid containers via a check valve; b) a first device connected to each fluid container through the third aperture that discontinuously increases the pressure of a gas above a fluid in said at least two fluid containers by providing air flow into said at least two fluid containers, wherein the first device is connected to said third aperture via a second lumen-containing conveyance connected to a multiple function connector, which multiple function connector is connected to an air venting valve; c) at least one third lumen-containing conveyance where one end is connected to each said at least two fluid containers at said first aperture, wherein said each at least one third lumen-containing conveyance is configured to be in one-way fluid communication with said at least two fluid containers via a check valve, which each at least one third lumen containing conveyance is connected at a second end to a T-fitting connector; d) at least one fourth lumen-containing conveyance connected at one end to said T-fitting connector, wherein the at least one fourth lumen-containing conveyance comprises: i) at least one pressure sensor proximal to said T-fitting connector and ii) one or more nodal points along said at least one fourth lumen containing conveyance distal to said at least two fluid containers which comprises a second device at said one or more nodal points, wherein said second device comprises one or more atomizing orifices; and e) a controller module in electro-mechanical communication with each said first device, said at least one pressure sensor, said air venting valve, and said water level float sensor, wherein said at least one fourth conveyance is releasably coupled to an outer surface of said roof-containing structure such that an atomized fluid delivered by said at least one fourth lumen-containing conveyance and buoyant fire embers co-segregate via heat convection.
