I dont see this working on significant fires. Let it run, separate flame from fuel, but what happens a few seconds later? The fuel is still there, the heat is still there, as soon as the sound stops it will reignite. Water/foam and such create both a physical barrier and immediate cooling to prevent reignition.
As a general rule, cooling any situation involves throwing cold stuff at the hot stuff. We have many means of projecting heat, but no way to project 'cold' without throwing cold stuff.
- IAmBroom 5d agoWater often puts out fires by diluting the oxygen with steam, giving the embers time to cool off. In practice, the cooling factor is important, but the momentary extinguishment of active flame limits the spread - especially when there is more fuel above.
