How infrasound systems detect fire ignition signatures and deploy targeted acoustic suppression of fires

Amazing stuff! This article is only about indoor and/or home fire protection and suppression. I wonder whether this infrasound system could also be applied against wildfires or industrial fires etc.

"... Fire requires three elements: heat, fuel, and oxygen.
When these combine in the right conditions, combustion begins.
... infrasound technology disrupts this chemical reaction.

The acoustic waves create rapid oscillations in the surrounding air, which interfere with the combustion process by destabilizing the oxygen-fuel interaction.

In simple terms, the sound waves vibrate oxygen at a rate that the chemical reaction of fire can’t take hold, thereby preventing the flame from sustaining itself.

Our early testing has shown when our system is deployed against airborne embers, the soundwaves act as a forcefield which the embers reflect from.

When they land on the ground, they then decay rapidly.

With connective fuels, we also see that combustion process is stopped, such as a wood fence that connects two structures, in the areas that our frequency is being deployed on. ..."
