Futuristic Fire Extinguisher + Sound Waves Can Put Out Fires

Here is one of those inventions that make you say “Why didn’t I think of that?”.  Behold the latest in fire extinguishing technology.  Messy foam everywhere?  Forget it.  This thing works with Sound Waves and these inventors and firefighters across the world are excited about this thing:

Watch this thing put out flames with sound in the video on page 2
