Fighting fire and heat
Cold Fire is a plant-based product that pulls heat out of a fire and encapsulates the fuel source to stop it from burning, Stafford said.
"It has amazing cooling properties,” he said. He demonstrated what he meant by setting fire to particles of magnesium, which burns at about 5,600 degrees. Stafford extinguished the fire and within seconds comfortably handled the burnt remains.
Stafford said the company is working with the U.S. military on ways Cold Fire can be used to help soldiers in Iraq.
Because it is concentrated, it is cost effective, Stafford said. "And it's green. It's so green you can drink it or bathe in it if you want to.”
Giessler said he plans to stage more demonstrations around the state over the next month or so.
"If the product catches on, Oklahoma is where I would build a plant,” he said.
