The purpose of the "Fight fire with sound" experiment was to use sound waves and sound energy to put out a fire instead of using water. What the scientist thought would happen was that the sound would put out the fire. These scientist used a candle and four speakers to try to put out a small flame in a zero gravity NASA plane. The scientist learned that the sound waves could not put out large amounts of flames but could put out a candle. In conclusion, they learned that they might be able to try it with larger fires. If they could do something better next time, they could try it in many different environments.
