Blasting sound waves towards a fire can increase the velocity of the air around it. By disrupting the air around the fire, the fire loses contact with its main fuel source—oxygen—and ...

Using an air vortex cannon to focus the sound waves from the bass reflex port, it ‘wiggles’ the flame out in a matter of seconds, as illustrated with a thermal camera.

Two George Mason University engineering students built a new kind of fire extinguisher that uses sound waves to extinguish fires as part of their senior project.

The device uses sound waves to put out a fire before it goes out of control.

New research suggests that sound waves can influence cellular activity, including stopping the development of fat.
