Photos from open sources George Mason University students created a brand new a fire extinguisher that needs neither water nor chemical reagents.
Such a device works on the principle of sound waves, which constrain, and then extinguish the fire. Such developments are already underway. long ago, but so far scientists have not been able to achieve significant success in this direction. The students went some other way, they started looking for the frequency of sound vibrations that would generate a kind of shock wave that can extinguish a fire.
By trial and error, these two university enthusiasts managed find the desired range of sound waves (within 30 – 60 Hertz), that extinguish a fire. Currently, the guys only created a small prototype of a future fire extinguisher, their compact apparatus while able to extinguish only a small fire, say, in the kitchen. But students are sure that the device can be improved and strengthened in later it will be successfully used to extinguish not only local domestic, but also huge forest and other fires, saving not only the resources of the planet, but also its ecology.
That’s not all! Artificial gills created and scuba gear possible toss out.
