Re: underhood fire suppression
I sure as heck wouldn't trust that do put any kind of fire out. It's to small to do much of anything.

Re: underhood fire suppression
On Amazon, the one review where there was a fire it failed. Plenty of glowing reviews pointing out the adhesive strength, small size, ease of installation. I always read the negative reviews on Amazon first.
Note that under-hood fire prevention exists for race cars and such.
JMO looking for potential causes of fire will likely provide more increased safety per effort spent than this gadget. Maybe not. It's too expensive for testing by customers (maybe suggest to Project Farm or?) and affordable enough to appeal to a lot of fire-wary customers.

Re: underhood fire suppression
From their pretty illustration: "Every nanoseconds will produce average of 0.5 m3 nanoscale inactivated factor". What the heck does that mean?
I note it has no rating on how much fire it can put out. You know like 2A10BC.
Prolly just a tiny dry chem with a burst disc.
