With over 60,000 house fires breaking out in the UK alone each year, two UK based design students decided to fix this issue and win some cash while doing it. Paul Thomas and Yusuf Muhammed created the "Automist," A kitchen faucet that shoots jets of mist in the case that a kitchen fire breaks out. The mist steals the heat from the burning flames and can extinguish a kitchen fire in as little as three min. Fully automated, the faucet detects and douses the flames without human aid. For their life changing designs the pair won the UK James Dyson Award and some cash for all their hard work.
