[Nhcoll-l] fire control device

No, I have never seen these.  Quite impressive.  The question would be in deployment.  Would you leave them lying around your collection in wait!!  Not sure anyone would be interested in throwing one or a couple of these at a wet wing fire and they would probably be ineffectual if the fire was beyond a certain size.  I know I will be running in the opposite direction if my collection catches fire :)

Does anyone have experience or opinions about the Elide Fire Ball?  There are a variety of videos online that make it look like a potentially useful supplement in places like wet collections.  While it looks like it might have some objectionable residue, several videos show it extinguishing fires quickly and, at the end of the video, shows that the explosion doesn't damage anything, including people.  In conditions where the specimens are protected from the dust, it seems this could be a useful product.
Here's one example on Youtube, Universal Elide Fire Ball:
