How To Use Audio To Firefighting

In the everyday routine, listening, creating, editing some audio materials I don't think about that how many other way to using the audio.

Viet Tran and Seth Robertson - both of engineering student of George Mason University - created a firefighter unit that uses sound waves to separate oxygen from object on fire.

Tran and Robertson are spending about $600 of their own money to develop, they have built a portable unit which part is sound generator, amplifier, power source, speaker and focusing tube. It would seem to have great potential in attacking fires in a variety of situations. Sound waves are much cleaner than water, powder, foam and chemicals, there's no collateral damage to the surroundings.

They tried different frequencies but eventually the lower frequencies working much better.

Tran said :"It's low-frequency sounds -- like the thump-thump bass in hip-hop that works," but “music isn’t really good,” Robertson said, “because it doesn’t stay consistent.”

Let's see how working this thing:

The Shapes of Sound

We don't see these shapes and objects what makes the different frequencies in real life, but a little sand and water in this wonderful video by Nigel Stanford (directed by Shahir Daud) was a help to show these features in action.

" You look like you're the best" The Duran Duran - Rio Isolated Bass

Last year the MusicRadar online music magazine asked their readers to submit nominations for the greatest bassist of all time, and John Taylor won the poll with a massive 30% of the vote. 

This result could two means:

1., The Duran Duran Fan Club mobilized the members to vote,

2., Everybody loves John.

Without a doubt Mr.Taylor is very talented  and one of the most underrated bassplayer. His groovy style bassline is one of the basic elements of the Duran Duran's music. 

You can listen that in the next track from the Duran Duran 1982's big hit:

It's a cool track, only little mistakes at 2:27 (seems like a cut) and another at 5:14.
