@sambentley: These NASA engineers found a way to put out fires using sound waves! The method, developed by Sonic Fire Tech, uses deep bass frequencies, too low for humans to hear, to literally shake the fire apart. The sound waves, officially called Infrasound pressure waves, knock oxygen molecules out of the way before the fire has a chance to use them for combustion. They can extinguish fires from up to 10 feet away, and even prevent fires from starting in the first place. They do require a special kind of speaker, as most speakers can’t produce these deep bass tones at the high pressure required to affect fire, so don’t try just blasting some Drum and Bass if you start a fire at home. They’re now developing ways of deploying the sound waves through ducts in buildings, to prevent apartment fires for example, or even attaching them on drones or to trees to prevent wildfires. Putting out fires like this would save resources, cause less damage and clean up, as no water or chemicals are needed.

momo plant :

ok.. we will buy

ELGUAPO11NOV :

They say that so u doing build ur own

Unpopular Facts :

Does it work on lithium fires?

🦌 Grace Quinn :

Filipino researchers invented this not NASA 😂

Molls :

This is awesome. How would it affect animals with their far more sensitive hearing, I wonder?

NASA didn’t figure that out!!! You need to get your facts straight: In 2015, two engineering students at George Mason University, Viet Tran and Seth Robertson, developed a prototype “sonic fire extinguisher” that uses low-frequency sound waves to suppress flames.

Arron Hawkins :

We got nasa putting out fires with sound waves before GTA 6 💀

ShayeDhd :

It was engineering students in Malaysia who discovered this first. please credit them properly

Christine und Katerchen :

That's perfect for libraries, labs a vs archives!

wildbull :

On drones to prevent fires??? Sounds like an ecological disaster waiting to happen, with sensitive species made to go extinct. Besides, why would you want to use sound to eliminate oxygen from a forest?

Mary’s Astrology :

My first thought, amazing! My second though, wait, couldn’t that be dangerous for us? hmmmm

gojosheartbeat :

"IS THAT SCREAMO-" and then the fire combust and dies out

John Baade259 :

Charles Kelligg, an American naturalist demonstrated this process in 1926. He extinguished a gas flame two feet high by tonal vibration. He passed a bow like an enlarged violin bow swiftly across an aluminum tuning fork producing a screech like an intense radio static. Instantly the yellow flame subsided to six inches and became a sputtering blue flame. Another movement of the bow completely extinguished the flame.

Mimi B :

WHAT? That's crazy!

Alastair McNeill :

It’s called wind

TheMoreUknow :

Brilliant!!!

Irishman :

I thought 2 teenagers did this about 5 years ago if not longer for a high school project.

Suzie :

Im sure ive seen this somewhere else.... and it wasnt NASA 🤔🤔

FollowYourSelfNoOneElse. :

Will playing Barry White music help prevent fires?

Bruce :

such a small fire ..you people must be joking 🤣

@Elle_0824 :

Not NASA engineers. 2 studenrs from George Mason University gets the credit.
