Patent ID: 8276679

Claim:
A system for protecting a roof-containing structure from fire embers comprising: a) at least one fluid container comprising a first second, third and fourth aperture, which third aperture is coupled to a pressure relief valve, and which fourth aperture is configured to be in one-way fluid communication with a water supply separate from said at least one fluid container via a check valve; b) a first device that discontinuously increases the pressure of a gas above a fluid in said at least one fluid container by providing airflow into said at least one fluid container, wherein said first device is configured to be in a passive feedback control loop via fluid communication with said at least one fluid container at said first aperture; and c) at least one lumen-containing conveyance in fluid communication with said second aperture comprising one or more nodal points along said at lease one lumen-containing conveyance which comprises a second device at said one or more nodal points, wherein said second device comprises one or more atomizing orifices, wherein said at least one lumen-containing conveyance is releasably coupled to an outer surface of said roof-containing structure such that an atomized fluid delivered by said at least one lumen-containing conveyance and buoyant fire embers co-segregate via heat convection.
