Interesting. The system produces a steady 30 Hz signal that the speaker turns into strong air movement directed at the flame. This airflow forms small vortex rings (doughnut-shaped puffs of turbulent air) that travel toward the flame. The vortices and oscillating air agitate the mixing zone at the base of the flame. They stretch and distort the flame front, interrupt the steady inflow of fresh oxygen, and temporarily separate the fuel from the oxidizer. The combustion reaction becomes unstable and the flame extinguishes. Unfortunately, this only seems to work for small flames, and reignition can occur once the the device is turned off, because the material is still very hot.

This is good work. Congratuations on your studies. Don't let corporate greed take it from you. It wasn't discovered by the US Research where the focus has shifted away from helping humanity to the greed of elected officials.

I call Bullshiatz. You literally have to fry to get close to the fire.

Incredible device, we hope to see it scaled up. These should be standardized in every home to help with outbreaks. this is a very intriguing topic

What type of fires we can use this? This is truly a game changer πŸ‘

only works on small carefully arranged demonstration fires. Not licensed for a real fire. Very cumbersome and VERY VERY LOUD at 130 decibels a health hazard and very dangerous to people that maybe nearby without protection. I will stick with a fire extinguisher

It may extinguish accelerant, but it's not putting out any established fires.

Imagine upsizing this to outfit to a helicopter for forest fires in future

A fire extinguisher that runs on sound and never needs a refill. That student earned the gold.

What? This doesn't sound right.. I thought it was students at George Mason University that had this idea first? wusa9.com/article/news/local… First made 2015 and improved recently. I'm nearby the school.

Save him please. Some company put the patent to use ASAP.

Kinda interesting but those are not combustion fires. This isn't practical for fighting, say, a house fire.

Now use sounds waves to make fire...fuck!!!

Indonesia could use this technology to help combat forest fires before they spiral out of control
