Bassists take note! A new invention from two students at George Mason University uses low-frequency sound waves to fight the spread of fires. You have to see this video to believe it:

Co-creator Viet Tran envisions the device’s initial use in the kitchen, putting out any accidental fires, but could later see it being used to fight fires in buildings and forests. Simply by attaching the bass bomb fire extinguisher to a drone, many human lives could be spared.
