IOT Based Portable Fire Extinguisher using Acoustic Setup

Abstract

Despite their effectiveness, conventional fire extinguishers come with notable drawbacks such as chemical residue and environmental damage. Addressing these concerns, recent research proposes a revolutionary solution: utilizing sound waves to combat fires. This innovative approach introduces a portable extinguisher device designed to efficiently diminish flame energy and extinguish fires by concentrating sound waves through a vortex cannon. Extensive testing across various fuel types, including gas, liquid, and solid, has demonstrated the effectiveness of this technology. Findings indicate that the optimal frequency range for extinguishment is around 60 Hz. These results underscore the capability of this novel method to swiftly extinguish fires of diverse origins. Moreover, beyond its efficacy in extinguishing flames, this technology holds the potential to significantly reduce property loss and human casualties by enabling early-stage fire intervention. By leveraging this strategy, fire safety procedures could undergo a transformative shift, offering a more sustainable, safer, and cleaner solution by mitigating the drawbacks associated with traditional fire extinguishers and introducing a versatile approach applicable across different fuel types, this advancement represents a significant step forward in fire safety technology. Its adoption could lead to profound improvements in fire fighting practices, enhancing both environmental sustainability and public safety.
