Electrical Insulation On Power Lines to Prevent Forest Fires! What are your thoughts on the cause of the wildfire in Los Angeles, California? There is substantial evidence suggesting that the fire was triggered by power transmission lines that were toppled and carried by storm winds, igniting Pinus canariensis trees, which are highly flammable. In the Pacific Palisades area, we estimate that the length of power lines capable of causing a wildfire of this scale is around 400 km. One possible solution could be applying a suitable coating to power lines, particularly those near forested areas, to electrically insulate them in case they are knocked down or carried by strong winds. Of course, this insulation would not involve conventional materials like silicone or thermoplastics, which are impractical for such an application. At KFOBIX, we have developed an advanced nanotechnology-based coating that provides electrical insulation while being extremely lightweight, low-cost and highly durable (4-5 years lifespan). This coating can be applied to power lines using the autonomous robots we have already developed—more details on this application method are available on our website. We have already conducted tests on this coating, and the results show that it can provide electrical insulation up to 17.9 kV. I will share these test results in the next post.

The nanotechnology product KFOBIX is actively developing, as mentioned in my previous post, now provides electrical insulation up to 17.9 kV, and we continue to enhance its capabilities. In addition to our patented superhydrophobic anti-icing coating, we believe this new product will add significant value both to our company and to the world. In the California Los Angeles wildfires, we previously estimated that the length of power lines near forested areas that could potentially cause fires is approximately 400 km. The estimated cost of the California wildfire disaster is around $57 billion. By coating power lines along this length, a strong protective measure could be implemented to prevent such catastrophic events. As mentioned earlier, the application of this coating will be carried out using the autonomous robotic systems we have already developed.

Together with Lineer coating robots, we have started coating operations of our KFOBIX product on Pigeon 3.0 power lines within Meram MEDAS Electricity Distribution Company. As our operations increase, power outages and pole falls due to ice will become a very old problem observed in power lines worldwide.

I'm so happy to be coated autonomously 😎 🤖 🚀
