AB  - Sound fire extinguisher is developed based on principle of quenching fire by lowering its temperature
with contacting vibration energy from low frequency sound under 100 Hz to fire and then, blocking inflow of
oxygen with a sound wind. The one researched by American students are at very basic level to be
commercialized. It concentrates a sound beam through special sound winds and increases sound energy
performance 10 times more to put out the fire. This is because it utilizes basic theory of making sound and as
sound has a tendency of dispersing, big sound and energy have to be created to extinguish fire. That is even
if 100 W is produced, it just makes a big noise but only 1/10 of it can be used for putting out fire. This special
sound wind has convex shape which concentrates all the sound into one place to increase effectiveness by
more than 10 times. Even 1~2 m away, initial control can be done. As a result, size of battery as well as amplifier
can be made small to have minimized size and weight, making it more practical.
