A gel is produced by magnetically treating and mixing two solutions and in
one embodiment subsequently introducing carbon dioxide gas. The first
solution is comprised of water and sodium bicarbonate, and the second
solution is comprised of water and sodium silicate. The first solution is
passed through a positively charged magnetic field, and the second
solution is passed through a negatively charged magnetic field. The two
solutions are then mixed together to form a gel. The resulting gel has
excellent fire-fighting capabilities because of its high heat absorption
and emissive qualities. The gel can also be used to aid in the removal of
surface coatings.
