Anyone consider carrying on board or mounting one of these in various hight risk compartments?

Video demonstrations are impressive!

In the fire service, we call those things ‘holy hand grenades’

Make sure that if that thing goes off, the powder is contained to the engineering space.

Inhaling MAP can cause severe cardiopulmonary distress, even cardiac arrest.

Me personally? I’d prefer a good fire detection system and well placed extinguishers. I like to be in control.

There are at least a couple of threads that discuss that device:

Thanks guys. I really thought this was so unique that I did not do a search, but I should have known - lesson learned!

This looks like it contains ammonium phosphate and barium sulfate.

Ammonium phosphate seems relatively benign but from the material safety data sheet barium sulfate is probably not good for your lungs.

Barium sulfate data sheet.
