Seth Robertson and Vet Tran, senior engineering students of the George Mason University, developed a device that extinguishes fires by broadcasting rapid, low-frequency sound waves. The heavy bursts of bass disrupt the flow of oxygen that is feeding the flame, causing it to rapidly extinguish.
The potential for this type of device is limitless. Often times, the large amounts of water or chemicals required to extinguish a fire cause additional damages to cooking equipment, cars, upholstery or whatever has caught flame. With a sonic fire extinguisher that requires nothing more than electricity, this is has the potential to become the easiest, cleanest, and most effective way to fight fire.
