Cheap, simple and the vapors are breathable. Randy I've been interested in these off and on. The argument against them has always been that there's so much airflow through the cowl, that Halon might not be effective. We still have Halon in some of the MRI suites, but those systems are automated to close doors, and turn off any ventilation systems when they're activated. I know these types of systems are used in race cars, but I imagine they're usually activated after the car as come to a halt. I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on this.
