In-computer fire suppression

1. A method of in-computer fire suppression, a computer comprising an in-computer flame detector and an in-computer fire extinguisher, the method comprising:

detecting, by the in-computer flame detector located within an enclosure of the computer, a flame; and

releasing, by the in-computer fire extinguisher located within the enclosure of the computer, an extinguishing agent in response to the flame detector detecting the flame, including releasing the extinguishing agent on a processor of the computer.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising disabling the power supply to the computer having within it the in-computer flame detector and the in-computer fire extinguisher.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the extinguishing agent further comprises carbon dioxide.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the extinguishing agent further comprises Halon.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein releasing, by the in-computer fire extinguisher, an extinguishing agent in response to detecting the flame further comprises releasing the extinguishing agent on a predetermined portion of a circuit board of the computer.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting, by an in-computer flame detector of an in-computer fire extinguisher, a flame further comprises detecting light having wavelengths in a predetermined range of infrared light.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting, by an in-computer flame detector of an in-computer fire extinguisher, a flame further comprises detecting light having wavelengths in a predetermined range of ultraviolet light.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein releasing, by the in-computer fire extinguisher, an extinguishing agent in response to detecting the flame further comprises releasing a stored pressure unit containing the extinguishing agent.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein releasing, by the in-computer fire extinguisher, an extinguishing agent in response to detecting the flame further comprises puncturing a cartridge containing the extinguishing agent.
