new way to fight forest fires

Donation protected

Hi there, my name is Paul Zertuche.  I am a retired Army medic and a hobby of mine is inventing.  I have developed a new way to extinguish forest fires.  Every year world wide billions of dollars and families dreams go up in smoke regardless if it was natural or arson.  My idea came to me one day after a firefight where bombs were dropped on the enemy.  I have drawn out detail diagrams and have named the process.  This new system will utilize military aircraft and can be adapted to civilian aircraft.  I need funding to hire a patent attorney, as there will be at least three patents and I will also need funding to hire an industrial designer/engineer.  Once 3D designs are complete with patents pending I will contract a plastics company to produce molds and a few proto types.  The next step will be to contract Southwest Texas Research to conduct testing to establish baselines, for example one device when utilize will extingish so many square feet of fire.  My plan after that is to build a factory to produce the products and sell to all countries ravaged by forest fires.  I want to save lives, property and tax payer dollars.  As being a retired military member my goal is to give 20% of the profits every single year back to Veteran programs.  If this is a big success I plan to pay back every single donation.  This project is really needed as global warming is a real threat and air quality especially in California is bad due to all the smoke.  Help me save lives by reducing the amount of fire fighters and smoke jumpers.  Help me save dreams of fellow citizens so they don't have to watch their hard work and memories go up in smoke.  Help me build substantial income so I can continue patenting and producing my inventions.  I truly miss being in the military, it gave me a sense of being part of something bigger than just myself.  By your help no matter how big or small you will be helping me live my American dream which is to be part of something bigger than myself.  I want to leave this planet better off than when I first arrived.  Thank you very much and may God bless you and your part of the world.

Okay, since my last post and efforts to get the word out, I have had much discussion from firefighters who fight forest fires. I don't want to let my intellectual property out there without patents but know my device and process does not use any explosives nor any fire retardants. I have also learned that the red fire retardant that currently is being used is hard to wash off your property. Now, there are some risks involved with handling and deploying my device but it is 100% organic and it is not water. Just need funding to patent and produce. I have had one gracious donor and looking for some more. Thanks for the effort.
