Fighting Fire With Sound

Watching a video on science projects enabled me to view the steps of doing a science project. I viewed the video called "Fighting Fire With Sound". In the video the students where presenting, using sound waves to extinguish fire, that being their purpose. Their hypothesis was that the sound waves would cause the pressure to drop, in turn making the fire extinguish. To start this experiment they lit a candle in a zero base gravity center, then surrounded it with speaker. They turned on the speakers but found that though the sound waves made the flame smaller, it did not completely put it out. In conclusion they found that it did effect the flame it did not completely put it out.
