Ember Generator for Fire Behavior Research

The goal of the project is to create an ember generating device which mimics the output of firebrands at the wildland urban interface during wildfires. This ember generator will be used by researchers and students at the University of Idaho's College of Natural Resources in fire behavior studies and testing of fire-resistant materials.

=Problem Definition= Embers emitted from wildfires cause structure fires at the wildland urban interface. When designing fire resistant construction materials for housing, researchers need a way of testing these materials against accurate fire storm scenarios. A flow of embers gives a more realistic test as opposed to an open flame, therefore researchers need a device which can output a steady stream of embers.
