Does it work by releasing some CO2? Or some other type of gas?

"Exterminate the fire!"

It appears to be a mix of CO2 and a tiny bit of ammonium gas. The CO2 of course starves the fire while the ammonium appears to "restrains the burning chain reaction." (source)

Which means it'd probably work better in a small wooden box than, say, a large warehouse or open office.

True. I wonder how well it would work in a typical American style apartment or house? From the stuff I have seen of Asian apartments they seem smaller than US ones, so it may still work. I saw another video of this stuff in action where they showed an animation of somebody tossing 3 of them into a room to get to somebody, toss one move up toss another and so on.
It seems proper fire extinguisher education would be more effective. Unless they are marketing this to be used by younger people and the infirm... which seems to be somewhat the suggestion based on other videos.

Disclaimer: SAT119 is not guaranteed to work if thrown by a handicapped person or a girl.

Yeah, I question how useful this would be in a more open fire. I suppose if you tossed a whole bunch of them in you might get enough C02 to starve the fire.

if it is made to displace oxygen, wouldn't it smother you as well as the fire in a small space?

Great! Now they just need to invent a hand-thrown nuclear-reactor-shutdown-device.

Ha! The box at :29 says BONEX.

I remember seeing a demonstration of a hand grenade type fire extinguisher that would release CO2 and some foam to extinguish a fire.

The image of the person in the wheel chair throwing it is so inclusive. Talk about an anti-molotov cocktail... and the guy in the wheelchair in fact appears! And.... it doesn't work for him. Man.

They also have a cooking oil satchel you slip into burning oil!!
Main ingredient : Potassium Carbonate


And this BONEX 119 works with some voodoo concoction of carbonate and some ammonia...

And no, it won't smother you (might, but since there already is a fire, there is probably smoke, so GTFO anyways)..
CO2 produced - 4000ppm (Labor Safety Standard is 15000ppm within 15mins –STEL)
Ammonium Gas produced – 20ppm (Labor Safety Standard is 35ppm within 15mins-STEL)



The main ingredient appears to be Ammonium Phosphate.

A "more open" fire. You seem to need about 4.
