This Invention Uses Sound Waves to Put Out Fires

if this catches on? wow

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:

Firefighters may be snuffing blazes with deep-toned sound, if a new device invented by two engineering students in Fairfax, Virginia, catches on.

Viet Tran and Seth Robertson’s new fire extinguisher looks a little like a conventional one, but instead of a compressed air tank spewing out chemicals, theirs has a loudspeaker the size of subwoofer drumming out sound waves.

Could you imagine how many buildings and resources this thing could save if it scales?

What do you think could this be the future of home safety appliances?

Let’s watch this thing put out flames with sound in the video on page 2
