WTF ?
In 2004 Dmitriy Plaks and several of his fellow students at the
University of West Georgia tested whether sound waves can douse fires
in hopes of using sound to extinguish flames in a spacecraft. They
placed a candle in a large topless chamber with three bass speakers
attached to the walls. The candle was lit and the Canadian rock band
Nickelback's "How you remind me" was pumped through the subwoofers.
Within roughly 10 seconds, once the song hit a low note, the flame was
out, according to results published in 2005 in The Journal of the
Acoustical Society of America.
Sound waves snuff fire - Boing Boing
But the BIG question is, what if they played the Rolling Stones "Devil's Banquet" ?
