George Mason University students Viet Tran and Seth Robertson spent $600 building a prototype (patent pending), speaker-like canister that directs low-frequency waves to a specific point, paired with a 20-pound, over-the-shoulder pack to generate the said waves.
Now the next step would probably be to somehow shrink the canister down into something that can easily be stored in a car’s glove compartment or in a kitchen drawer. That would leave the heavy 20-pound backpack, but one solution for that would be to create a lightweight vest-like accessory that can quickly be put on.

But it’s low-frequency sounds – like the thumping bass in hip-hop that works…rappers like 50 Cent could probably douse a fire, and that hip-hop celebrity endorsements might be just the [golden] ticket. But eventually I’d like to see this applied to, maybe, swarm robotics, where they would be attached to a drone and that would be applied to forest fires or even building fires where you wouldn’t want to sacrifice human life,” said Tran>.
