Firefighting snake snuffs out flames with a squirt

This robotic reptile is a remote controlled firefighting machine by the name of, wait for it, Anna Konda….. Utter genius. This Norwegian prototype high-end water pistol not only fires H2O but is propelled by it too.

Each joint on the snake can handle 1450 psi of water pressure which means it is unable to be set free from its tether or it’d flail all over the place, the flip side of this immense power is that it makes Anna strong enough to plough through debris to get to the heart of the heat.

The internal water delivery system also keep the device cool so it can fight intensive flames from chemicals or explosives with relative ease.
