Abstract

The main idea of this paper is to propose a extinguisher that utilizes sound waves to extinguish fire and also should ensure the environmental sustainability .The conventional fire extinguisher posses various drawbacks. The water fire extinguisher freezes in cold climate and cannot be used in electrical fires .The foam fire extinguisher contains foam concentrate which can cause various respiratory problems during the incident and after the fire .The idea of acoustic fire fighter will be able to reduce all those drawbacks and can evolve as a future of extinguishers. The major raw material is sound which is nothing but a pressure wave .The sound is generated using the amplifier where the input is fed by the function generator. The Output is fed to a sub woofer which will produce a maximum hertz of about 80Hz to 100Hz. The alternating high and low pressure waves created by the sub woofer is sent into a focused collimator. The focused sound waves from the collimator will tend to extinguish the fire.

Keywords
