The sound you can’t hear might just save your house.
It sounds like something out of a sci-fi blockbuster, but firefighters in California are firing up a fascinating new way to fight flames — with sound waves.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department recently showed off a futuristic system that detects and extinguishes flames without water or chemicals.
Instead, it uses powerful — but completely silent — sound vibrations to snuff out the fire itself.
The red-hot technology, inspired by NASA experiments and developed by Sonic Fire Tech, works by first spotting flames with infrared sensors and AI.
Once a fire is detected, the system instantly releases specially tuned sound waves aimed right at it.
It isn’t magic, it’s physics, said the developers.
“For a fire to burn, you need three things — fuel, heat and oxygen,” Remington Hotchkis, chief commercialization officer at Sonic Fire Tech, told the Post. “Sound waves vibrate the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, and break the chemical reaction of the flame.
“The system uses thermal detectors to sense the flame, or conditions for the flame and initiates the acoustic defense.”

Superman just exhales real hard. Like blowing out a birthday candle, just more.
What do the sound waves do to the human body?
Puts the fire out. Could be trouble.

Tesla said it was all about vibration.
That’s some star trek tech right there.
Might be an amazing way to extinguish flames, but how can sound waves win the Water Ball Competition?

Great distant memories of the water ball competition on Independence Day at Thornton High School in Harvey, Illinois.
Expect the firefighter medical disability retirements to skyrocket to an even higher level.
Can’t wait to see Arthur Brown drive up in a firetruck singing his greatest hit, “Fire”.
Will the technology put out the fire from incoming rockets launched by Iran and Russia?
“Tesla said it was all about vibration.”
Very true. And when science discovers the vibrations relating to various frequencies of consciousness they will understand why we are here on earth. Problem is, virtually everyone lives in a “Flat Consciousness Society” and only gets one channel.

That’s cool. I’d never heard of it.
It typically costs $65-100,000 to install. Not cheap.
It must be configured to the structure.
The only problem is that it could liquify your liver.
One channel with static.
Quicker than liquor!
California. Have they done a 20-year ecological study on the impact to kangaroo rats and moonbats?
Fight flames — with sound waves.
