Abstract:

This paper aims to design and implement a circuit of frequency generator of a portable fire extinguisher based on sound waves. The intervention of firefighters is one of the most prominent situations that put their lives at risk, and it urges us to consider finding new ways to extinguish fires. Even though traditional techniques have high efficiency to extinguish fires, they have many drawbacks such as causing damages and leaving toxic materials polluting the environment. Proceeding from the nature of sound as a mechanical wave that propagates in different mediums, this paper shows that sound waves may be used in the firefighting field where the frequency generator is the main part of this new firefighting device.

Keywords:
